Can eating wolfberry help you lose weight?

Wolfberry is a traditional Chinese medicine, a nourishing food, and an emerging weight-loss food. Lycium barbarum is rich in vitamin C and carotene, which can effectively promote blood circulation, fight aging and prevent skin oxidation. Some people say that wolfberry can help with weight loss. Soaking wolfberry in water every day is not only good for health, but also can reduce fat. So can eating wolfberry help you lose weight? Let me show you how it works.

I heard that the amount of wolfberries used for each cup of water should be calculated as 1 times the amount needed to cover the bottom of the cup. If you consume too many calories today, you will run to the toilet as soon as you drink the wolfberry water.

Those chewy, sour berries are more filling than other fruits: Goji berries contain 18 types of protein, making them an amazing source of protein. The beta-carotene content in wolfberries is higher than that in carrots! Chew a few around 3 pm and you won’t feel hungry before dinner. One tablespoon of goji berries has only 35 calories.

When wolfberries are soaked in water or cooked into soup, their medicinal effects cannot be fully exerted. Influenced by factors such as water temperature and soaking time, only some medicinal ingredients in wolfberry can be released into water or soup. Chewing it directly with your mouth will help you absorb the nutrients in wolfberry more fully. But be careful when chewing wolfberries. It is best to halve the amount you eat, otherwise it is easy to over-nourish.

Lycium barbarum has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving intelligence and eyesight, and can be eaten with chrysanthemum. The heat-clearing power of chrysanthemum can reduce the heatiness of wolfberry, and at the same time help wolfberry quickly replenish the yin fluid in the human body. The best ratio is 30 wolfberries to 1 chrysanthemum.

You should be cautious when using the Chinese medicinal herb wolfberry to lose weight, because people who are obese or easily get angry should not easily touch wolfberries. For office workers who often use computers, or those who like to use mobile phones to surf the Internet and read e-books, wolfberry soaked in water is a good drink for eye protection. But after all, it is a kind of food and medicine, and not everyone is suitable for taking it. Because it has a very strong effect of warming the body, people who have a cold, fever, inflammation, or diarrhea should not eat it. People with weak constitution and coldness may suffer from dislocation and diarrhea if taking it. People with internal heat should use it with caution. Some people eat too many wolfberries, which causes their eyes to become red, swollen, uncomfortable, and their vision to be blurred. Therefore, wolfberry should not be eaten often, as it is a partially toxic medicine.

After reading the above content, I believe everyone has understood it. Friends who want to lose weight can give it a try, but generally speaking, it is more appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of wolfberry a day; if you want to achieve a therapeutic effect, you can eat about 30 grams a day. When choosing wolfberries, choose those that are large, red in color, thick in flesh, soft in texture, sweet rather than bitter, stick to your teeth when chewed, and can dye your saliva red and yellow. These wolfberries are of the best quality.
