What should not be eaten after eating Cordyceps sinensis

1. Radish: Many friends will be confused when they see this, why can’t you eat radish after eating Cordyceps sinensis? Cordyceps sinensis and radish do not conflict with each other. In fact, regarding the fact that you cannot eat radish after eating Cordyceps sinensis, please note that radish has a ventilating effect, which can speed up intestinal peristalsis and defecation, and will shorten the retention time of Cordyceps sinensis in the human intestine. The absorption of the effective ingredients contained in Cordyceps sinensis mainly takes place in the small intestine, which will affect the absorption and utilization of Cordyceps sinensis. Therefore, the editor’s suggestion is to try to eat less or even no radish after eating Cordyceps sinensis, so that the Cordyceps sinensis can be fully absorbed and utilized by the human body.

2. Mung bean soup: Speaking of mung bean soup, many friends will be even more puzzled. Can't mung bean soup detoxify? Why can't you drink mung bean soup after eating Cordyceps sinensis? Although many people say that mung bean soup has a detoxifying effect, in fact, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the so-called "detoxification" here is not real detoxification, but refers to inhibiting or reducing certain effects of external food on the human body. There will definitely be a series of reactions after eating Cordyceps sinensis. Of course, these reactions are very positive and should not be interfered with by other things. Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is best not to drink mung bean soup, including foods containing more mung beans. But mung bean cake is a different story. Since mung bean cake does not contain the mung bean skin, it can be eaten while eating cordyceps.

3 Other foods: Of course, according to the editor, in addition to the above-mentioned radish and mung bean soup, you also need to pay attention to the following foods that cannot be eaten when eating Cordyceps sinensis, which are Chinese medicinal materials with dispersing effects; such as mint, schizonepeta, ephedra, cassia twig, perilla leaf, magnolia flower, etc. There are Chinese medicinal materials that can clear away heat and detoxify, such as honeysuckle, forsythia, dandelion, houttuynia cordata, and isatis indigotica.
