Many people like drinking. Some people worry that drinking is not good for their health and will think of various ways to remedy it. One of them is-
Add some medlar to the wine and soak it.
After all, everyone usually says that medlar has various benefits. If it is soaked in wine, it becomes a health wine.
However, is it really that simple? Is it really good for your health to soak in wine? Today, Dr. Clove explained to everyone one by one.
The first category: healthy food soaked in wine, such as medlar
Not reliable.
Lycium barbarum is a classic food with the same origin of food and medicine, which has been [deduced] into many effects in modern marketing.
First of all, the nutrition of medlar is not ambiguous. It is not only rich in dietary fiber and vitamin A, but also iron, selenium, calcium, zinc, potassium and other elements.
However, soaking in wine will not make medlar more nutritious in what, so it will not produce new magical effects.
In fact, if you eat some dark vegetables and fruits every day, you can get the same amount of nutrition. Why should you have a unrequited love for small medlar and match it with alcohol to test your liver?
The second category: aphrodisiac food soaked in wine, such as various whips
Eating all kinds of [whips] is based on the simple idea of [eating what to supplement what] and has a long history.
However, it is totally wishful thinking to expect to use them [to support yang].
First of all, soak all kinds of whips into the wine, only soak some of them into the wine, and no new ingredients will be produced (at least no Viagra will be produced).
More importantly, alcohol will affect liver function, causing a sharp increase in estrogen (you are right, men also have estrogen), thus reducing the secretion of testosterone (androgen).
If the balance between estrogen and androgen is destroyed, the normal production of sperm will also be greatly affected.
Even if many people think that [moderate drinking] (no more than 22 or 36 degrees of white wine a day, or 1.2 or 60 degrees of white wine), long-term drinking will affect sperm production.
Therefore, the conclusion of one sentence is: As long as you drink regularly, don’t expect [aphrodisiac].
The third category: precious medicinal materials soaked in wine, such as ginseng, saffron and pilose antler.
Not reliable.
[Medicated Liquor] soaked in [Precious Medicinal Materials] has a supreme appeal among the people.
These plants contain a variety of chemical components, some of which are easily dissolved into wine. Technically, this is a [alcohol solution extraction] process.
However, its value does not depend on [soaking in wine], but on whether there are [effective ingredients] in the soaked things and whether these effective ingredients are easily dissolved in wine.
That is to say, [soaking wine] itself does not produce new ingredients, but porters of some ingredients in medicinal materials.
One thing is clear, since these things belong to medicinal materials, they should be used according to the standards of medicinal materials. At the very least, they should know how much they are suitable for what people and cannot be eaten in what.
However, such so-called “food and drug” supplements are often characterized by “three ignorances”-ignorance of effect, dosage and toxicity.
Therefore, it is better for everyone not to drink, after all, it is not cheap.
As for whether these legendary [precious medicinal materials] have the [efficacy] expected by everyone, we can only say:
Legend is very magical. Scientists and businessmen worked very hard, but they did not find it.
Otherwise, all kinds of [medicated liquor] should be popular all over the world.
Category 4: Poisons soaked in wine, such as live scorpions, fish gall and poisonous snakes
Not only unreliable, but also poisonous!
Scorpions, bitter gall and other things are said to be able to [improve eyesight] and even [detoxify] by [attacking poison with poison].
However, we should remind everyone that this kind of thing is poisonous in itself, and the toxicity will not be [dissolved] by wine, nor can it dissolve another kind of poison.
Take fish gall as an example. The gall of many fish (crucian carp, carp, herring, silver carp, bighead carp, etc.) contains a substance called [sodium cyprinol sulfate], which can destroy lysosomes and mitochondria in cells and lead to cell death.
Many people will suffer from severe vomiting, abdominal pain and even acute renal failure after eating fish gall. If the treatment is not timely, it can be fatal.
Some people may say that [drugs are three points poisonous, as long as you eat less, you will be fine].
In fact, the gall of a relatively large grass carp is not large and seems to be very small, but it is enough to make an adult [something] happen.
Category 5: Wild animals soak in wine, such as pangolin
Unreliable and illegal.
The reason is very simple. There is no scientific evidence to prove that these [rare animals] have the legendary effects.
To take a step back, even if there are some if not all effects, it is against the law to eat and protect animals!
For the legendary illusory effect, we have to take the risk of [seizing jail]-this [side effect] is really too big.
The sixth category: various fruits soaked in wine, such as waxberry, hawthorn, pear, pomegranate
It’s delicious and can be drunk, but it’s not cost-effective.
Just like the above-mentioned medicinal materials soaking wine, soaking wine with fruits cannot produce what [effective ingredients].
If you want to use their [healthy ingredients], it is best to eat them directly.
Of course, soaking in wine can dissolve sugar, acid and other components in fruits into the wine and change the taste of the wine, which is also a new [flavor wine].
If you like it, of course you can drink it.
Just don’t forget, no matter how the flavor changes, drinking is still harmful to health.
