Foreign research has found that squid melon contains some plant-based chemical substances, such as "apigenin" (this is a translation name, don't mistake it for it, eat celery hard) and "squitogenin". Apigenin can reduce internal inflammation reactions, which is what Zhong Medical calls clearing heat and reducing fire. However, leucorin helps to clear blood vessels and is very close to the effects of Zhong Medical in promoting blood vessels and opening blood channels. In other words, the recent research results of Western nutrition are inconsistent with traditional Chinese medical views.

Because the melon is rich in water and very soft, it is a very good source of fiber for elderly people with poor chewing function. It is also a steaming and boiling clams with the same heat-clearing and diuretic effects, and has a more multiplication effect.

A plate of scrambled eggs with scrambled melons can also supplement the protein while taking the standard standard.

It should be remembered that the melons are difficult to digest. Don’t eat them, just drink soup.

In addition, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, squid also has the effects of clearing heat, diuresis and eliminating kidneys, but because it is slightly cold in nature, people with cold spleen and stomach are not suitable for eating too much. Because of this, many people will put some ginger when cooking ginger to enhance the taste, but the way to put ginger is slightly different in winter and summer. If you eat ginger in summer to clear the heat, you can put ginger first and add ginger. If it is winter, you can put ginger before ginger before ginger, which can reduce the coldness of ginger.
