How to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis and replenish qi
There are very few traditional Chinese medicines that can activate blood circulation and remove stasis and replenish qi at the same time, including food. But there really is one thing
Brown sugar
Brown sugar is a red crystal made by pressing the juice of the stem of the grassy herbaceous plant sugarcane. Synonyms: sugar, red sugar, purple sugar, yellow sugar. It is rich in sugar, minerals and glycolic acid.
People often wonder whether the popular Japanese "brown sugar" is the same thing as what we traditionally call brown sugar? The answer is "yes". Traditional brown sugar and the various types of brown sugar that are popular today are sugars made with the same method. They have the same nutritional and edible effects, so they can be said to be the same thing.
The depth of color between the two is affected by the length of time the syrup is boiled. The boiling time of brown sugar is longer, and the sugar bricks made after the syrup is concentrated have an almost black appearance. As for the difference in shape and thickness between the two, it is due to the different methods of reprocessing, so it is common to cut sugar bricks into different sizes or grind sugar powder into powder.
Whether it is brown sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, or rock sugar, the initial refining method is the same. The reason why it becomes different colors and types of sugar is that the degree of final refining and decolorization is different. The higher the degree of refining, the whiter the color and the higher the purity, but the sweetness will not increase due to the high purity.
The sweeter ones among these types of sugar are brown sugar and brown sugar. Brown sugar is rich in ingredients. In addition to sweetness, it also has a unique and special flavor. It is suitable for use in simple dishes, so as not to make the taste too complicated and self-defeating, such as making red bean soup, Brown sugar cake, black tea, and coffee all have mellow and unique sweetness. Brown sugar has an intermediate flavor and sweetness, so it is most commonly used for cooking general dishes. White sugar and rock sugar have lower sweetness, but because of their high purity of sweetness, they can be used to prepare drinks or make pastries without affecting the original flavor of other ingredients. They also have the effect of making pastries fluffy.
The various special effects of brown sugar are mainly due to its natural ingredients. According to 20 years of painstaking research by dermatology experts at Hong Kong Seth Skin Research Center, they have discovered that brown sugar contains a large number of nutrients that have unique effects on skin health and nutrition:
1. It contains glucose, fructose and other monosaccharide and polysaccharide energy substances, which can accelerate the metabolism of skin cells and provide energy for cells.
2. The folic acid and trace substances contained in brown sugar can accelerate blood circulation, increase blood volume, stimulate the body's hematopoietic function, expand blood volume, and improve the supply of nutrients, oxygen, and moisture to local skin.
3. Some of the vitamins and electrolytes contained in brown sugar can balance the water-liquid metabolism of the intracellular environment by adjusting the concentration of certain substances between tissues, eliminate cellular metabolic products, and maintain intracellular and external metabolism. Environmental cleanliness.
4. The multiple vitamins and antioxidants contained in brown sugar can resist free radicals, rebuild and protect the basic structure of cells, and maintain the normal function and metabolism of cells.
5. The amino acids, cellulose and other substances contained in brown sugar can effectively protect and restore the fiber structure and water-locking ability of the epidermis and dermis, strengthen the skin tissue structure and skin elasticity, while supplementing skin nutrition and promoting Cell regeneration.
6. Certain natural acids and pigment-regulating substances contained in brown sugar can effectively regulate various pigment metabolism processes, balance the amount of pigment secretion and pigment distribution in the skin, and reduce the abnormal accumulation of local pigments.

Due to the simple production method and small equipment investment, most manufacturers on the market currently adopt this production method; (2) Modern industrial production method two: directly during the brown sugar cooking process It is made by adding auxiliary materials and boiling it with brown sugar at high temperature (generally up to about 125 degrees). Due to the complex process and high equipment investment of this method, there are only a few domestic companies (such as Shanghai Pu Shilian (brand "Hushengtang")) adopts this method to produce, and the company has applied for a national invention patent for this technology, with the patent number 200810237300.6.

[Edit this paragraph] Suitable for the crowd
Brown sugar is unrefined jaggery, which retains more vitamins and minerals. It is generally believed that brown sugar is suitable for women with irregular menstruation and those who have just given birth. In fact, brown sugar is more suitable for the elderly, especially those who are frail and recovering from serious illness.
Brown sugar usually refers to finished sugar cane with honey. Generally, it refers to the honey-containing sugar formed by squeezing sugar cane juice, simple processing, and concentration.
Brown sugar is divided into brown sugar, brown sugar powder, bowl sugar, etc. according to different crystallized particles. Because they are not highly refined, they retain almost all the ingredients in cane juice. In addition to having the function of sugar, they also contain vitamins and trace elements, such as Iron, zinc, manganese, chromium, etc. have much higher nutritional content than white sugar.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that brown sugar is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen. It has the functions of replenishing qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, relieving pain, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The elderly's intake of various trace elements and vitamins gradually decreases, and they should pay attention to supplementing them in their diet to maintain normal metabolic functions and delay aging. According to records, 1,000 grams of brown sugar contains 900 mg of calcium and 100 mg of iron. Calcium and iron are essential minerals and trace elements for the human body. An expert used an atomic fluorescence
spectrometer to measure and found that brown sugar contains very rich trace elements, some of which can strongly stimulate the body's hematopoietic function. Therefore, it seems very reasonable that people in the past often used brown sugar to nourish the body of postpartum women
Each 100 grams of brown sugar contains 90 mg of calcium, 4 mg of iron, and a small amount of riboflavin and carotene. Japanese researchers also extracted a polysaccharide called "molasses" from brown sugar. Experiments have proven that it has strong antioxidant effects and has a significant effect on anti-aging.
When the elderly eat sweets, they should choose brown sugar more often. Elderly people in Okinawa Prefecture, a famous longevity county in Japan and the birthplace of brown sugar, have the habit of drinking a cup of brown sugar water every day.
[Edit this paragraph] Farmer's Proverbs
Spring
"The Jingzhe has not arrived yet, and the sky is thundering, and the sugar stalks are about to draw the sword"; "The Jingzhe is warmer and the sky is thundering." "Thunder, the sugar stems are blooming to raise sugar plants (sugar seedlings)".
"Grain Rain cuts off the frost, making it easy to sell (buy) sugar-stem seedlings."
“When planting sugar, you need to cultivate it first, both shallowly and deeply.” Note: This is the technical requirement of sugar farmers for planting sugar cane. The general idea is: to plant sugar cane seedlings, first dig a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl. Digging the hole is also called reclamation; it should be shallow, that is, the sugar seedlings should not be buried too thickly in the soil. , to facilitate the division of sugar seedlings (buds); to be deep, that is, the sugar seedlings should be planted in a bowl-shaped hole to avoid fertilizer and water loss during fertilization.
Summer
“In the summer solstice, all the wheat is harvested, and the fields of sugar stems are busy being cultivated.” Note: After the wheat harvest, you must weed and fertilize the sugar seedlings as soon as possible.
“When moldy sugar seedlings grow, weeds grow faster than sugar. If weeds are not removed, the swords will not be thick. Weeding in the ground is afraid of fat thorns.” I'm afraid of fat thorns."
“The sun is fierce during the mild summer and the big summer. Tuo Tang is so busy that he is dripping with sweat. The sugar leaves are scratched all over his face. The sweat is pickling red in the garden. It is itchy and the pain is unbearable.”; “Tuo Tang is in the field. High temperatures can easily make people sick and suffocate, and one illness can last for three days. Who knows the hard work of sugar farmers?"
“The land of sugar stems is like a big manure vat, you can use as much sugar as you want”, “Eat white beans on sugar stems, save money on brown sugar”, “Use a handful for farming inside, and a load for farming outside. ".
Autumn
"There is no need to prepare sugar stalks in autumn, as long as the mud is wet and water flows", "In autumn drought, sugar stalks are as watery as oil, so if you want sugar stalks, you will have to sweat profusely." ", "After autumn, when the weather is hot and sunny, I pedal the river cart to inject sugar stalks, and my feet are swollen and it is difficult to walk, in order to have a harvest of sugar stalks."
"After July and a half, the sugar stems are sweet for two and a half quarters", "In the drizzle of August, the sugar stems are coming day and night."
"Save sugar seeds before and after cold dew, and leave seeds red after frost."
Winter
"There is sugar but no sugar, sugar cane is made at the beginning of winter", "Sugar stalks begin to be harvested at the beginning of winter, sugar farmers are freezing and falling snow is shaking in the sugar shop", "Chibo sugar stalks are beginning to harvest" The worst thing to worry about is freezing. Frozen sugar stems and brown sugar are “axe-cut”; Note: The quality of frozen sugar stems is very poor. “Axe-section” is a kind of brown sugar that cannot be made into fine yellow color. It is dark, tough, and tastes bitter. of inferior quality candy.
"If you cut it open with an axe, it will stick to your mouth, and your teeth will fall off; fine sugar will crawl when piled on the table, but it will be fragrant and sweet in your mouth, and it will close without your teeth." Note: Sugar farmers compare the good and bad of brown sugar.
"Growing sugar makes you rich and cost-effective, and you will forget all the hard work after a year." "Growing sugar is like growing treasure, you eat and burn it." Note: One calculation is made after sugar farmers sell sugar.
The economic benefits are better than growing grain. At this time, sugar farmers will forget about the hard work of growing sugar for a year. Sugar can be fried in sugar water, and the sugar residue is good firewood for peasant women to cook. Therefore, the peasant woman said: planting sugar is like planting treasure.
"Peanuts and brown sugar are better than a married couple." Note: Sugar farmers use peanuts and brown sugar to eat together. It tastes delicious and is likened to a newlywed couple on their honeymoon.
[Edit this paragraph] Precautions
Although it is good for pregnant women to eat brown sugar, it must be in moderation. Ancient Chinese medical scientists have long understood this. For example, in the book "Compendium of Materia Medica", brown sugar is called granulated sugar, and it is analyzed: "Granulated sugar is warm in nature and different from slurry, so it is not suitable to eat too much..." Pregnant women exercise less, and excess sugar is easily converted into fat, leading to obesity. .
Not all elderly people are suitable for eating brown sugar. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with yin deficiency and internal heat, indigestion and diabetes should not eat brown sugar. In addition, it is not advisable to use brown sugar water when taking medicine.
It is best to use glassware when storing brown sugar, seal it and store it in a cool place!
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, brown sugar is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen. It has the functions of replenishing qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, relieving pain, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. To bring out these effects of brown sugar, the way of eating is also very particular: boiling poached eggs with brown sugar can make the eggs and brown sugar nutritionally complementary, making the elderly look rosy and energetic; soaking longan in brown sugar and taking it has a positive effect on improving sleep. Function: soaking ginseng in brown sugar can regulate breath and improve hypotension. If you find it troublesome, you can also make a cup of brown sugar water and drink it every day. It is understood that elderly people in Japan's famous longevity county have the habit of drinking a cup of brown sugar water every day.
Although brown sugar is rich in nutrients, you should not be greedy. The recommended daily intake for the elderly is about 25 grams. Elderly people with diabetes should avoid it; elderly people with constipation and sores on the mouth and tongue can eat some rock sugar instead to prevent getting angry. In addition, it is not advisable to use brown sugar water when taking medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine nutrition believes that brown sugar, which is warm in nature, plays a role in nourishing blood by "warming and replenishing it, warming it and clearing it, and warming it and dispersing it". Relatively speaking, although white sugar tastes sweet, it is white in color and neutral in nature, so its blood-enriching effect is far less than that of brown sugar. According to our analysis results, because white sugar is too pure and contains almost no trace elements, its nutritional efficacy is naturally different from that of brown sugar. Even in Japan, which is technologically advanced, many foods are specially marked with the words "pure brown sugar". This shows that brown sugar has different functions from white sugar, so families and canteens should always have brown sugar.
