Is wolfberry harmful to the body?

I believe that in our daily life, we often see the elderly at home having the habit of drinking wolfberry wine. Every day when they have a meal, they are accustomed to drinking a small cup and eating while drinking. It is said that this can not only increase people's appetite, but also strengthen the body. But some friends also suspect that wolfberry can cause harm to our body. So, is wolfberry harmful to the body? In the face of this controversial issue, please discuss it with me in the following time.

Lycium barbarum is sweet and mild in nature. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it can nourish the liver and kidneys, improve eyesight, nourish blood, and enhance people's immunity. For modern people, the most practical effect of wolfberry is anti-fatigue and lowering blood pressure. In addition, wolfberry can protect the liver, lower blood sugar, soften blood vessels, and lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It has certain therapeutic effects on patients with fatty liver and diabetes. According to clinical medical verification, wolfberry can also treat chronic renal failure.

Although wolfberry has good nourishing and therapeutic effects, it is not suitable for everyone. Because it has a very strong effect of warming the body, people who have a cold, fever, inflammation, or diarrhea should not eat it.

The most suitable people to eat wolfberry are those with weak constitution and poor resistance. Moreover, you must persist for a long time and eat a little every day to see the effects.

Do not consume any tonic products in excess, and wolfberry is no exception. Generally speaking, it is appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of wolfberry a day; if you want to achieve therapeutic effects, it is best to eat about 30 grams a day. Now, many animal experiments on the toxicity of wolfberry have proved that wolfberry is a very safe food, does not contain any toxins, and can be consumed for a long time.

Traditional Chinese medicine has long had the saying that wolfberry can maintain health, and many people like to use it to soak in water, make soup or cook porridge in their daily lives. In terms of eating methods, chewing it directly is more conducive to the health benefits of wolfberry.

I believe that through the above discussion, most friends have already had their own standard answers to the above questions. In fact, no matter what, we should all understand that although wolfberry is good, it is, after all, a tonic Chinese medicine. Therefore, we must pay attention to some methods and taboos when eating it, otherwise even the best things will have adverse effects on our body.
