[Health and Wellness] One persimmon is equivalent to ten medicines! It helps control blood pressure, relieves cough, and protects the cardiovascular system. It would be a waste not to eat it now.

In fact, every part of the persimmon is valuable, with many magical effects... Take a look!

The Whole Persimmon:

It's the perfect time to eat persimmons again. In the past, we used to discard the stem and leaves when eating persimmons, but now we realize that we've been missing out!

Fresh Persimmons:

Moistens the lungs and relieves cough:

Persimmons have a cooling nature, making them suitable for moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough during autumn. Ripe persimmons can be eaten directly or juiced. Eating one persimmon a day can prevent coughing and heatiness.

Moistens the intestines and promotes bowel movements:

Persimmons are rich in pectin, which helps maintain the normal growth of intestinal flora and has a good effect on moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movements, effectively preventing constipation.

Alleviates hangovers:

Persimmons can promote the oxidation of ethanol in the blood, reducing the harm of alcohol to the body. Friends who often drink alcohol should eat persimmons!

Persimmon Cakes:

Stops bleeding:

Persimmon cakes have the effect of cooling the blood and stopping bleeding. They are a good dietary therapy for patients with coughing up blood or hemorrhoids, as they are effective in stopping bleeding and relieving pain.

Reduces skin spots:

Persimmon cakes contain a large amount of vitamin C, which promotes the growth of new cells and has a whitening effect. They also effectively inhibit the deposition of melanin, making them especially good for removing skin spots.

Persimmon Frost:

Strengthens the spleen and stomach:

The white powder on the persimmon cakes is not mold. It would be a waste to brush it off! Eating persimmon frost and persimmon cakes together enhances the flavor and promotes the health of the spleen and stomach.

Treats oral ulcers:

Oral ulcers can be painful and the taste of medications can be unpleasant. It's better to use persimmon frost, which is inexpensive and effective! Buy some persimmon cakes, wash them, and store them in the refrigerator. When the cakes develop white frost again, use a small spoon to scrape off the frost and seal it for later use. Apply a little on the affected area during oral ulcers.

Persimmon Calyx:

Relieves hiccups:

Instead of treating the persimmon calyx as garbage when eating persimmons, it is actually a valuable medicinal ingredient. For those who frequently experience hiccups, try grinding the persimmon calyx, ginseng, and cloves into powder. Drink some hot water with the powder when experiencing hiccups. It is very effective.

Improves cardiovascular function:

Persimmon calyx can protect the cardiovascular system, effectively increase coronary artery blood flow, and promote blood circulation and reduce inflammation. When experiencing cardiovascular problems, drink water infused with persimmon calyx to greatly improve the condition.

Persimmon Leaves:

Quenches thirst and generates fluid:

Surprisingly, persimmon leaves also have great uses. They are also cooling in nature. Take a few dried persimmon leaves, steep them in tea, and they can quench thirst and generate fluid without causing heatiness. It's perfect to drink some now.

Lowers blood pressure:

Persimmon leaves can prevent arteriosclerosis. Drinking persimmon leaf tea can effectively lower and stabilize blood pressure. Middle-aged and elderly people should regularly brew and drink it.

Antibacterial and skin moisturizing:

During the dry autumn and winter seasons, the skin can become itchy. Adding some persimmon leaves to bathwater can have antibacterial and anti-itch effects, as well as moisturize the skin. Persimmon leaves contain a large amount of tannic acid, which can effectively kill bacteria, relieve itching, and moisturize the skin.

Precautions:

Eating persimmons has many benefits, but there are a few things to be careful about. Eating them wrong can cause trouble!

Shake before eating:

Persimmon frost is good for the body, but some businesses make "fake persimmon frost" on persimmons to attract consumers. These are made of talcum powder and are harmful to health. When buying persimmon cakes, remember to shake them. If a large amount of white powder falls off, do not buy them.

Rinse mouth after eating:

Persimmons are high in sugar and contain pectin. After eating persimmons, a portion may remain in the mouth, especially in the gaps between teeth. Combined with the weak acidity of tannic acid, it can easily erode teeth and cause cavities. Therefore, it is advisable to drink some water or rinse the mouth after eating persimmons.

Moderation is key:

The tannic acid in persimmons can form compounds with minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium, and iron in food, making these nutrients difficult to absorb by the body. Therefore, eating too many persimmons can lead to deficiencies in these minerals. Additionally, due to the relatively high sugar content in persimmons, eating them can provide a feeling of fullness compared to consuming the same quantity of apples or pears, which can affect appetite and reduce the intake of regular meals. Generally, it is recommended not to eat more than 200 grams of persimmons at a time, especially on an empty stomach.

Diabetics and those with weak spleen and coldness should eat less:

Persimmons have a high sugar content, so it is not suitable for people with diabetes to eat too many. Since persimmons have a cooling nature, friends with weak spleen and coldness should also try to eat less.

Eating persimmons this way doubles their effectiveness:

As the saying goes, "Eating persimmon bread, disease won't be a worry." By combining persimmons with flour to make pastries, the cooling nature of persimmons turns into warmth, enhancing the function of tonifying the spleen and nourishing the stomach.

Ingredients: Persimmons, flour, glutinous rice flour, chestnuts.

Method:

1. Peel and mash the persimmons into a paste. Mix two parts of persimmon paste with two parts of flour and one part of glutinous rice flour to form a dough. Steam and grind the cooked chestnuts into a paste.

2. Roll out the dough into thin pastry, add the crushed chestnut paste to the pastry, and wrap it into a pie.

3. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan, place the wrapped pie in the pan over low heat, and fry until both sides are golden brown. Then, serve and enjoy.

Effect: Tonifies the spleen, nourishes the stomach, and nourishes the kidneys. However, persimmons cannot replace medication, so they should not be consumed excessively.

Persimmons have many other delicious ways of eating them:

Frozen Persimmons: During the winter, when eating persimmons, put them in cold water and "pull them" to soften them. The sweet juice will be absorbed into the mouth, making it refreshing and pleasant, giving a sense of coolness.

Milk Persimmons: Combine persimmons and milk powder to make persimmon ice cream, which has a unique flavor.

Mixed Persimmons: Mix ripe fresh persimmons with fried flour, creating a dish called "persimmon stir-fried noodles," which can be eaten as a meal.

Persimmon Wine: Persimmon vinegar and persimmon wine can both be homemade. Therefore, folk wisdom regards persimmons as "woody cereals."

Persimmons have so many benefits. It would be a shame not to eat them now. Missing out means waiting a whole year again!
