How to get rid of age spots? Try honey with ginger. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is a certain relationship between the production of senile plaques and the poor circulation of Qi and blood. Ginger has the functions of sweating, relieving exterior, warming the middle of the body to stop vomiting, warming the lung to stop cough, detoxifying and so on; Modern medical research also shows that gingerol, a pungent ingredient in ginger, has a strong antioxidant effect. It can quickly remove free radicals and inhibit the production of lipid peroxide in the body, thus preventing or reducing the deposition of lipofuscin. Its antioxidant effect is stronger than vitamin E, the most commonly used antioxidant at present.
Honey has the function of tonifying, moistening and detoxifying. It can promote the metaplasia of Qi and blood and maintain the normal operation of Qi and blood. Modern medical research also shows that honey also contains a large number of antioxidants, vitamin C and flavonoids, which has a strong 'lethality' to free radicals. However, ginger has a divergent effect. It is not suitable to take it for a long time for the old, weak and self sweating, otherwise it is easy to consume Qi and damage Yin. The tonic effect of honey can avoid the adverse reaction of excessive sweating after taking ginger, which leads to excessive consumption of Yin fluid. The two are complementary and mutually beneficial.
Dietotherapy prescription: for the elderly, take 10-15g fresh ginger slices, soak them in 200-300ml boiling water for 5-10min, and add 10-15g honey when the water temperature is below 60 ℃. It should be noted that when adding honey, the water temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will damage the vitamin C and reduce its antioxidant capacity. Long term adherence can not only prevent the growth of senile plaques to a certain extent, but also make the senile plaques appear shallower and smaller.
