After giving it a try, I’ll tell my aunt that I ate a piece of ginger yesterday and felt fine; today I plan to use an equal-sized piece of arsenic to see what reaction she has She should say that eating arsenic at night isn’t very toxic, it’s pretty much like white sugar. The components of ginger are the same during the day, but they are different at night, and the difference is quite significant. :lol:lol:lol
Gingerol, found in ginger, stimulates intestinal peristalsis; during the day it can enhance the function of the spleen and stomach, but at night it may become a problem that affects sleep and harms the intestines； Secondly, the pungent and warm nature of ginger can disrupt people’s normal sleep at night, and consuming pungent and warm ginger in the evening can easily lead to internal heat, resulting in symptoms of \"excess internal heat\" over time. Calling it like \"arsenic\" is a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed harmful to sleep. Therefore, eating ginger in the morning has many benefits for the body, but it should not be consumed in large amounts at night. However, eating a small amount of ginger at night, such as using it as a seasoning in dishes, does not pose any harm to health.
Arsenic won’t work; it does more harm than good to the body
Most of this comes from traditional Chinese medicine theories, but years of accumulated experience surely hold positive value
“Eating ginger in the morning is better than drinking ginseng soup; eating ginger at night is equivalent to consuming arsenic. – Huangdi Neijing. There are four seasons in a year, and there are also four seasons within a single day. It is appropriate to be conservative at night, rather than promoting growth; it is not suitable to eat ginger (as it stimulates growth). Some people act against this principle, just like trying to row a canoe upstream against the current – it may work in the short term, but after a hundred years, the force of the current will still be there, and where will you be?
