Black fungus is a good product for beauty care, but four major taboos must be remembered

Black fungus, also known as wood moth, tree chicken, cloud ear, ear, etc., is an edible fungus that grows on rotten wood. It is named because of its light brown color and shape like human ears. It is a nutritious and delicious supplementary food with good medical and medicinal effects.

1. A good product for beauty care

Black fungus is rich in protein, and its protein content is comparable to that of animal food, so it has the reputation of "meat among vegetarians". In addition, it contains very high vitamin E content, which is an excellent product for whitening skin. The most important thing is that it has the highest iron content. When it comes to iron supplementation, it is generally believed that spinach, lean meat, and animal liver are rich in iron. In fact, black fungus has the highest iron content among all foods, which is more than 20 times that of spinach and more than 7 times that of pork liver. Therefore, it is a high-quality food source for nourishing the skin, replenishing blood, and preventing iron deficiency anemia.

2. Lose weight, clear the intestines and prevent stones

Black fungus is rich in cellulose and a special plant collagen. These two substances can promote gastrointestinal motility, prevent constipation, facilitate the timely removal and excretion of toxic substances in the feces, and help dissolve endogenous foreign bodies such as gallstones and kidney stones. For patients with new cholecystitis and stones, eat black fungus 1-2 times a day. Symptoms such as pain and nausea can be relieved within 2-5 days.

3. Prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Black fungus contains vitamin K and rich calcium, magnesium and other minerals, which can reduce blood clots, prevent the occurrence of thrombosis and other diseases, and has the effect of preventing and treating atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

Black fungus has the effect of promoting blood circulation and anti-coagulation, and it is not suitable for people with bleeding diseases. Pregnant women should not eat too much.

Everyone knows that graying of hair is related to mental stress and excessive worry. Experts suggest that in order to prevent and treat graying of hair, in addition to regulating emotions, you should also pay attention to increasing the intake of trace elements and nutrients that have a hair-blackening effect in your diet to promote normal hair growth.

Trace elements iron and copper are important elements that promote the synthesis of hair melanin. People with gray hair should eat more foods rich in these two elements, such as oysters, scallops and other shellfish, almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, peanuts, pine nuts and other nuts, animal liver and kidney tissue, etc. There are also some foods that can blacken hair, such as black fungus, black sesame, black rice, and seaweed.

Eating more foods rich in B vitamins, such as whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits, can also help.

Black Fungus Diet Taboos

1. Patients with hemorrhagic stroke should eat with caution

Black fungus is known as the "aspirin among food". Eating black fungus regularly can inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, which is very beneficial for preventing and treating coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Although black fungus has many benefits, patients with hemorrhagic stroke should eat it with caution due to their poor coagulation function.

2. Black fungus must be cooked before eating

There is a substance called purine nucleoside in black fungus, which is called black fungus polysaccharide. It has strong anticoagulant activity, antiplatelet aggregation and antithrombotic effects. It should be noted that black fungus can only improve the solubility of dietary fiber and black fungus polysaccharides after high-temperature cooking, which is conducive to absorption and utilization. Therefore, black fungus must be cooked and should not be eaten directly after soaking in water.

3. People with abnormal blood lipids should pay attention to the amount of food they eat

For people with abnormal blood lipids, eating black fungus regularly can play a therapeutic role, but it can only be used as an auxiliary means besides drug treatment, and it is sufficient to eat it 2 to 3 times a week.

4. Do not eat foods that are not suitable with black fungus together

It has an anticoagulant effect and is not suitable for people with bleeding diseases. Pregnant women should not eat too much. Fungus should not be eaten with snails. From the perspective of food medicinal properties, the cold nature of snails and the slippery fungus are not conducive to digestion, so the two should not be eaten together. People suffering from hemorrhoids should not eat black fungus and pheasant together. Pheasant is slightly poisonous, and eating them together can easily induce hemorrhoid bleeding. Fungus should not be eaten with wild duck. Wild duck tastes sweet and cool in nature, and is prone to indigestion.
