How to eat wolfberry?

In real life, I believe that many friends have the habit of drinking health-preserving soup. After all, the continuous deterioration of the environment and the rapid increase in pressure in daily work have greatly increased people’s chances of getting sick. Therefore, it is very necessary to use some health-preserving soups to supplement the body with nutrition, and we can see wolfberry in many health-preserving soups. It can be seen that there are many ways to eat wolfberry. So how to eat wolfberry best? In the next period of time, please share with me, friends.

Chewing for better absorption

In life, many people like to use wolfberries to soak in water, make soup or cook porridge, but in fact, due to the influence of factors such as water temperature and soaking time, only some of the useful ingredients in wolfberries can be released into the water or soup. Moreover, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide is a kind of proteoglycan. If it is extracted by boiling or heating in water, it will denature and lead to reduced efficacy.

Therefore, in terms of eating methods, directly chewing wolfberries will allow for more complete absorption of nutrients and will be more conducive to exerting their health-care effects. But be careful when chewing, and don't eat too much, otherwise it will easily lead to over-nourishing, which will be harmful.

For example, generally no more than 20 grams should be chewed directly every day. If you want to achieve therapeutic effects, you can eat 30 grams a day, but it should be taken in several times, about 3 grams each time. If you use it to soak in water or make soup, you may eat it, but it is not advisable to eat it all at once.

However, it should be noted that although wolfberry is suitable for people of all ages, it is not suitable for everyone. Because wolfberry is a sweet and nourishing medicine and is usually difficult to digest, people with indigestion and diarrhea caused by weak spleen and stomach should use it with caution.

I believe that through the above sharing, our friends have a more detailed understanding of other ways to eat wolfberry. Although wolfberry is very beneficial to our body, it is also a tonic Chinese medicine after all, so we must pay attention to a standard amount when consuming it, and avoid excessive consumption. If it exceeds the normal standard value, it will cause excessive yang fire in the body.
