"Ginseng water" to repair the injury of staying up late? Placebo!

2022-11-10

Ginseng drinks are becoming the "new favorite" in the beverage industry, attracting many young people's attention. Recently, a milk tea brand has launched a new product called "Baqi One Ginseng", which claims that it is "reversible to stay up late" after drinking. The price of 12 bags of ginseng drinks is 118 yuan, causing heated discussion. Previously, some new drinks, which were sold by soaking the whole ginseng, once became "supplements" for young people to stay up late and keep healthy. What is the medicinal effect of "ginseng water"? Can you really repair the body damage caused by staying up late? The reporter interviewed the experts for clarification. Superior ginseng can replenish vitality, but the popularity of "irreversible" ginseng drinks that stay up late for a long time largely stems from the demand of young people to "fight against the injury of staying up late". Xiao Liu, a netizen, said that he often stayed up late because of work needs. After seeing the promotion of this kind of drink on the Internet, he bought and drank it. "The taste is sweet, with some flavors of traditional Chinese medicine and plants.". Although there was "no change or reaction" after drinking, Xiao Liu said that he would continue to buy: "It was used as a 'placebo'." Some experts pointed out that ginseng, as a tonic after staying up late, has certain effects. Gao Sande, the deputy director of the Department of Preventive Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangzhou Medical University, said: "Staying up late will cause a certain degree of damage to people's' qi '. People with insufficient heart qi are prone to palpitations, people with insufficient lung qi are prone to coughing and panting, and people with insufficient temper are prone to diarrhea... Ginseng is a good herbal medicine for tonifying qi, which can greatly replenish the basic' vital energy 'of the human body. Taking ginseng after staying up late will play a certain role in' repairing '." "The damage to the body caused by staying up late can be made up for in the short term by supplementing sleep, eating antioxidant and vitamin rich foods." Zhao Dongxing, deputy chief physician of the Sleep Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said that ginseng, as a kind of antioxidant food, would play a certain role in "repairing" after staying up late. However, it cannot completely "repair" the human damage caused by staying up late. "Long term staying up late will lead to pathological changes in the human body, which is irreversible. The best way to avoid the harm of staying up late is not to stay up late". Ordinary drinks sell on health care, or are suspected of falsely advertising that ginseng has the effect of "replenishing vitality", but the role of "ginseng water" is questioned. The reporter learned that the retail price of a whole piece of fresh ginseng soaked in a bottle is nearly 20 yuan. Many consumers frankly said that they were attracted by the promotion of "a whole ginseng" and "staying up late water", but they did not expect a bottle of daily drinks worth about 20 yuan to help their health. It is reported that ginseng, as a rare and precious Chinese herbal medicine, is often used together with other medicinal materials as an emergency medicine and tonic medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the varieties, years and origins of ginseng are different, and their effects are also uneven. Gao Sande said: "The price of 'Ginseng Water' is low, and its efficacy is extremely limited, which is far from meeting the requirements of medicine." In fact, according to relevant regulations, China's food categories can be divided into two categories: ordinary food and special food. Among them, special foods include health food, infant formula food and formula food for special medical purposes. At present, there is no national food for ginseng drinks on the market
