Young people are born, and some are really 'fierce'! Punk Health, have you heard of it? This is the favorite of many young people at present, and the most typical example is "staying up for the longest night and applying the most expensive facial mask". Nowadays, this heavenly and earthly way of health preservation has also begun to enter the dessert industry, such as adding traditional Chinese medicine to ice cream, soaking Codonopsis pilosula in "fat house water", making goji berries in coffee, and so on. It is both dazzling and embarrassing. Today, we will specifically talk about the cross-border mixing of traditional Chinese medicine and desserts, and whether it can promote health. The Tonic Diet ice cream appeared in the Tonic Diet ice cream market integrates some Chinese medicinal materials with the same origin of medicine and food into ice cream, such as bamboo jasmine, Sichuan shellfish loquat, smoked black plum, hawthorn bergamot, longan and red jujube rice paste, and other different flavors. This traditional Chinese medicine ice cream is absolutely innovative! But I need to remind you that ice cream is ice cream! No matter what ingredients are added, he still belongs to the category of cold and refreshing ice cream. Even if spicy and hot medicines such as aconite and dried ginger are added to ice cream, it cannot change its cold and icy state, let alone achieve the effects of warming yang and dispelling cold, warming the uterus and stomach through consuming ice cream. The reason why traditional Chinese medicine formulas can have therapeutic effects relies on the combination of Chinese medicinal materials for decoction and collision, fully exerting the effect of drug fusion. Even granular formula forms need to be taken with boiling water. Stacking traditional Chinese medicine slices together and eating them dry alone is ineffective. Let's take a look at traditional Chinese medicine ice cream again. Not only does it not have this process, but it is also included in our taboo category - "avoid eating raw, cold and cold products". So, ice cream is definitely not a health product. Even if ginseng, deer antler, and cordyceps are added, it is still ice cream and does not have any health, therapeutic, or health benefits. Herbal coffee does not satisfy the refreshing and invigorating needs of traditional coffee, and many young people have become fond of herbal coffee for health preservation. What about wolfberry coffee, ass hide glue coffee, and even more, Huoxiang Zhengqi iced American coffee... Although "medicinal coffee" is novel, it has nothing to do with health care. Taking wolfberry coffee as an example, the advertising slogan "more suitable for people who often stay up late" is a health misconception and marketing gimmick. Although coffee and goji berries are not mutually exclusive and do not interact to produce toxic substances, this does not mean that the combination of goji berries and coffee can save those who stay up late. What people who stay up late really need is a regular schedule, sufficient sleep, and taking more coffee and goji berries is putting the cart before the horse. Occasionally taking a refreshing drink is acceptable, but not too much to prevent irritation to the digestive system, headaches, and sleep disturbances. People with hypertension or arteriosclerosis are not recommended to drink coffee in large quantities for a long time, as this may cause cardiovascular disease and be harmful to the body. Carbonated drinks for health are not considered healthy drinks. Excessive consumption can lead to excessive calorie intake and obesity; It contains a large amount of gas, and excessive intake may lead to digestive symptoms such as bloating and pain. Carbonated beverages usually contain a high amount of sugar, and drinking too much without timely cleaning of the mouth may lead to the growth of more bacteria in the mouth, causing dental caries. Drinking too many carbonated drinks for a long time will also increase the probability of diabetes. Furthermore, after consuming carbonated beverages, they need to be excreted through the kidneys, which may increase the concentration of calcium ions and oxalic acid in urine, leading to the occurrence of kidney stones. All of the above are the hazards of carbonated beverages to the human body. Similar to herbal ice cream, even if herbal ingredients are added to carbonated drinks, they still cannot escape the essence of carbonated drinks. Nourishing dates, blood nourishing Angelica sinensis, and kidney tonifying Rehmannia glutinosa are not effective in carbonated beverages. They need to be combined with a series of related Chinese herbs and boiled in boiling water to fully exert the medicinal effects of herbal plants, thus achieving the effect of health preservation. It is recommended that everyone drink less carbonated beverages. Warm water is the most essential healthy drinking water for the human body. (New Society)
