[Health and Wellness] These 3 Fruits Can Treat Diseases When Eaten Ripe, Healthier Than Medication! (Not Roasted Oranges or Steamed Oranges~)

Do you believe that some fruits can treat diseases?

Today, I will introduce these 3 fruits that do not need to be paired with medicinal ingredients and can be eaten ripe.

1. Hawthorn When Eaten Ripe

1. Hawthorn Jam - Assists in the treatment of arteriosclerosis

Method:

After removing the seeds from the hawthorn, add brown sugar to marinate. The ratio of hawthorn to brown sugar is 2:1. After mixing well, marinate for 24 hours, then simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

The fire must be very low when simmering hawthorn, otherwise the hawthorn will become dry. Use a spatula to crush the hawthorn during simmering to ensure that the flesh and sugar are well mixed.

The successfully simmered hawthorn jam can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

2. Roasted Hawthorn Drink - Treats acute gastroenteritis

Method:

Cut dried hawthorn slices and stir-fry them in a pan for a few minutes until the hawthorn turns partially brown.

Pour two cups of water into the pan, add the fried hawthorn, brown sugar, and a few slices of ginger. Boil for 15 minutes.

If you want to make roasted hawthorn drink more quickly, you can buy ready-made roasted hawthorn from a pharmacy and use the above method, adding brown sugar and ginger, and then drink the juice. 

Generally, taking it twice a day can be effective for people of all ages.

2. Ripe Bananas

1. Roasted Bananas - Treat hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding

Method:

Wash the bananas (without peeling) with flour, then soak them for 10 minutes.

Place the cleaned bananas on a plate and microwave on high heat for 3 minutes. The bananas will split open when they are fully roasted.

After roasting, cut the bananas into small pieces and eat them with the peel.

Eating ripe roasted bananas can increase nutrition. Generally, after eating them for two consecutive days, rectal bleeding will stop in patients with hemorrhoids.

3. Ripe Pears

1. Red Wine Poached Pears - Relieves cough, dissolves phlegm, and has anti-inflammatory effects

Method:

Cut the pears, including the skin and core, into pieces and put them in a pot. Pour red wine into the pot until it covers half of the pears.

Add a small amount of cloves to the pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then simmer over low heat to reduce the liquid.

During cooking, the pot lid must be kept open to allow the alcohol to evaporate and make it suitable for consumption by various groups of people.

It should be noted that pears are not for relieving coughs; it is the pear skin that has the effect of relieving coughs. Pear flesh can moisturize the lungs and be effective for dry coughs. If there is phlegm, eating pear flesh will increase phlegm. Therefore, when poaching pears, leave the skin on.

Clove warms the stomach and, when cooked with pears, enhances its effect of warming the stomach, dissolving phlegm, and relieving cough.

I hope these tips have been helpful to you. It's colder now, so eating some warm fruits will make you feel more comfortable!

61. [Health and Wellness] The "Natural Enemy" of High Uric Acid has been Found. Doctors Say: Stick to Eating These 6 Foods and Uric Acid Levels will Decrease

High uric acid levels, known as the "fourth high" after the "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids), is equally prevalent as the "three highs" in China. Currently, more than 100 million people in China have high uric acid levels. If this trend continues, it is expected to surpass diabetes as the leading metabolic disease, seriously endangering people's health. The most common condition associated with high uric acid is gout, and it can also cause kidney disease, osteoporosis, and urinary tract stones, gallstones, etc.

High uric acid levels are mostly caused by diet, due to the consumption of excessive purine-rich foods. It is also related to habits such as frequent socializing, prolonged sitting, and consumption of fatty foods.

Purine-rich foods are still very common in daily life, such as tofu, shiitake mushrooms, etc. These are common high-purine foods, and people often see their good effects on the body, but often overlook their harmful effects, leading to elevated uric acid levels due to excessive consumption. Therefore, if you have high uric acid levels, it is best to avoid these high-purine foods, as well as foods with high protein content such as beef, lamb, pork liver, pig trotters, etc., and eat more of the following foods:

The "Natural Enemy" of High Uric Acid has been Found. Doctors Say: Stick to Eating These 6 Foods and Uric Acid Levels will Decrease

Red-skinned White Radish

In winter, we should often think about radishes. Radishes are known as the "ginseng for ordinary people" and contain various trace elements and dietary fiber, which can help eliminate metabolic waste products from the body. Radishes are a low-purine food, almost devoid of purines, and are alkaline in nature. They can neutralize uric acid in the body, thereby reducing uric acid levels. At the same time, radishes contain abundant active enzyme substances. Eating them raw can promote the metabolism and excretion of uric acid. The best radishes for reducing uric acid are red-skinned white radishes.

Chinese Cabbage

When uric acid levels are high, it is recommended to eat more inexpensive but mineral-rich and vitamin-rich Chinese cabbage. Known as the "king of vegetables," Chinese cabbage is low in price but not in quality. It also contains abundant calcium and vitamin C. People with high uric acid levels who often eat Chinese cabbage can promote the dissolution of urate salts in tissues, facilitate the excretion of uric acid, and prevent the formation of uric acid stones.

Hawthorn

In addition to its well-known benefits of invigorating the spleen, promoting appetite, and relieving greasiness, eating a little hawthorn regularly can also lower uric acid levels. Although hawthorn has a sour and sweet taste, it is an alkaline food that can neutralize uric acid. In addition, hawthorn is rich in pectin, which can adsorb intestinal toxins, stimulate gastrointestinal motility, and help eliminate excess uric acid, thereby relieving gout.

Luffa Peel

Luffa peel refers to the vascular bundle of the dried and mature fruit of the gourd family plant luffa. In rural areas, many people like to use this fabric-like substance from mature luffa to scrub dishes without using dishwashing liquid. In fact, luffa peel is a good traditional Chinese medicine for removing excess uric acid from the body. It has a sweet taste, a cool nature, and functions to activate blood circulation, promote diuresis, eliminate edema, regulate menstruation, and promote lactation. Soaking luffa peel in water can increase urine output and excrete excess uric acid from the body.

Soda Water

When uric acid levels are high, it is recommended to drink more water, but many people do not like to drink water. However, soda water is weakly alkaline, and its crystal-clear appearance carries a slightly bitter taste that makes people develop a slight addiction to it. Therefore, drinking soda water regularly can neutralize uric acid metabolized by the kidneys and promote its excretion, reducing the formation of uric acid stones. So, for those of us who don't like drinking water, we can replace other beverages with soda water every day, so that uric acid can be excreted.

Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in amino acids, trace elements, anthocyanins, polyphenols, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and other elements. They can reduce blood sugar, lower blood pressure, soften blood vessels, prevent arteriosclerosis, and promote the excretion of uric acid. They have a good effect on preventing and treating gout combined with hypertension. The anthocyanins, dietary fiber, and vitamin E in blueberries can promote metabolism and reduce the synthesis of uric acid in the body.
