Is it okay to eat wolfberry directly?

As a very common Chinese medicine, wolfberry is also widely used by friends in daily life. Some people use it to make wine, some use it to make water, but most people probably use it to make soup. But no matter how we eat it, wolfberry does bring many benefits to our body. Some friends also reported that wolfberries can be eaten directly, which also confused some friends. So is it okay to eat wolfberry directly? Let us learn together in the following time.

Many people like to use wolfberries to soak in water, make soup or porridge, and then drink the water and soup, but throw away the wolfberries together with the tea leaves or residue. Little do people know that doing so will not effectively absorb the beneficial eye-protecting ingredients in wolfberry. Nutritional studies have found that the eye-protecting effect of wolfberry depends on the lutein contained in it. Lutein accumulates in large quantities in the retina, which can reduce ultraviolet stimulation and protect the optic nerve from damage. The human body cannot produce this ingredient and must absorb it from fruits and vegetables. The lutein content in most foods is very low, but the lutein content in wolfberry stands out.

However, lutein is insoluble in water and cannot be fully released simply by soaking it in water or making soup. Therefore, to maximize the eye-protecting effect of wolfberry, the best and simplest way is to chew it and eat it. Generally speaking, it is appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of wolfberry per day. If you chew wolfberries dry, you should halve the amount you eat, otherwise you may over-nourish yourself.

Wolfberry can be eaten directly. Take a few pills a day; the principle is not to get irritated.

Functions of wolfberry: nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves sperm quality and improves eyesight.

It is used for deficiency of essence, soreness of waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, internal heat and thirst, blood deficiency and sallow complexion, and blurred vision.

Dosage: 6-15 grams.

Of course you can eat it. Modern research shows that wolfberry can lower blood sugar, resist fatty liver, and resist atherosclerosis. Wolfberry nourishes the kidneys and produces sperm, nourishes the liver…improves eyesight and calms the mind, making people live longer.

Women should not eat too much on a regular basis, as this may cause early or delayed menstruation, loss of appetite, abnormal leucorrhea and endocrine disorders.

I believe that after studying the above paragraphs, most friends have already got a relatively satisfactory answer to the above questions. But I would also like to say one more thing. After all, wolfberry is a traditional Chinese medicine for nourishing the body, so we must pay attention to its standard amount when consuming it. Of course, we must also pay attention to some foods that are incompatible with it. Never accidentally consume them together, otherwise it will cause some adverse consequences.
