The correct way to eat wolfberry

Wolfberry is a tonic we often use. It has a very good effect on our health. However, if you eat too much, it is easy to get some internal heat. Therefore, we will tell you how to eat wolfberry correctly.

How to eat wolfberry for better health? Let’s take a look at the experts’ experience.

Add a handful when cooking or making porridge. Lycium barbarum is rich in various trace elements and vitamins, which can nourish yin and enhance immunity. However, it has medicinal value only if you eat it regularly. It will not have any effect if you eat it once or twice occasionally.

The most common way to drink wolfberry is to soak it in water, but most of the vitamins contained in wolfberry are water-soluble and easily destroyed by heat. I recommend soaking the dried wolfberries briefly, and then adding a little wolfberry as an ingredient when stir-frying, making porridge, or steaming buns or cooking dumplings.

Eat like normal food. The reason why wolfberry is good for the eyes is that it is rich in carotene, vitamins, calcium, iron and other nutrients, and is commonly known as "eye-brightening". Doctors in all dynasties have often used wolfberry to treat blurred vision and night blindness caused by liver blood deficiency and kidney yin deficiency.

The better way to eat wolfberry is to add it to porridge, rice, soups and dishes like ordinary food. It is not only nourishing but also will not cause internal heat. However, wolfberry is not suitable for everyone. Those with weak constitution and poor resistance can eat more. However, because it has a strong effect of warming the body, people with colds, fever, inflammation, or diarrhea should not eat it. In addition, wolfberries also have a "shelf life". Wolfberries that smell like wine have gone bad and can no longer be eaten.

Add some when making soy milk. Lycium barbarum is a good thing. Recently, the British also discovered the effect of Lycium barbarum in delaying aging in their research. Many people drink wolfberry in water, but I generally don’t do that. Because it is just a simple soak, the vitamins, carotene, etc. in wolfberry are difficult to be fully absorbed. I usually put a handful of wolfberries when making soy milk with a soy milk maker, so that I can make full use of the various nutrients and trace elements contained in wolfberries.

The trick of drinking wolfberry soaked in water may not really work.

Experts say that wolfberry is best added to dishes or porridge. If you think about it carefully, the popularity of wolfberry water is probably due to the "lazy man's philosophy". Just put it in a cup of water and you can enjoy the legendary longevity. What could be more exciting than this? However, healthy living requires determination and perseverance, and laziness is not allowed.
