Do you know that wolfberry soaked in water can nourish the kidneys?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wolfberry has the effects of nourishing the kidney and essence, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, and moistening the lungs and relieving cough. Wolfberry contains a large amount of carotene, vitamins, protein, phosphorus and iron, etc. It can not only enhance immunity, but also protect the liver and anti-aging. It is very suitable for people with low resistance and weak body. At the same time, long-term consumption can also delay aging, strengthen the body, and beautify the skin. Then someone asked, can drinking wolfberry soaked in water nourish the kidneys? Let me introduce it to you below.

It is suitable to take wolfberry in all seasons: in spring, it can be taken alone or boiled in water with astragalus; in summer, it is suitable to be soaked in water with chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, puffed sea and rock sugar, and regular consumption can eliminate eye fatigue; in autumn, it is suitable to be made into soup with snow pear, lily, white fungus, hawthorn, etc.; in winter, it is suitable to be mixed with longan, jujube, yam, etc. to make porridge. Take 3 grams of black tea and 20 grams of wolfberry with boiling water to make wolfberry tea; you can also add 20 wolfberries and 5 dried chrysanthemums into water and brew them together; add 15 grams of white fungus and 25 grams of wolfberry, add appropriate amount of water and simmer until it becomes a thick juice, add 20 grams of honey, and simmer for another 5 minutes to make wolfberry white fungus soup. Take it once every other day with warm water.

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of wolfberry per day; for therapeutic purposes, it can be increased to 30 grams. Wolfberry should be eaten regularly, not in large quantities at one time. When soaking wolfberry in water or making soup, drinking the soup alone cannot fully absorb it, because it is affected by factors such as water temperature and soaking time. Only some medicinal ingredients can be released into the soup. In order to better exert the effect, it is best to eat the wolfberry in the soup together. Without any processing, chewing wolfberries directly will make the absorption of nutrients more sufficient. The wolfberries can be rinsed with water and then chewed, but the dosage should be halved.

I believe that through the above introduction everyone has a certain understanding of wolfberry. Although wolfberry is good, it should be consumed in moderation. Also, because wolfberry has a significant soothing effect on the body, people who have a cold, fever, inflammation, or diarrhea should not eat it. Wolfberry also contains a high level of sugar, so diabetic patients should also use it with caution.
