Taboos of Eajiao
As we all know, Eajiao cake is especially beneficial for women, and is a good product for replenishing blood and Qi. Therefore, many women will take Eajiao cake regularly and in large quantities in their daily lives to achieve the effect of nourishing Yin and blood and Qi. The benefits and effects of Eajiao are indeed many, but women should never ignore the following three taboos when eating, otherwise it may have a certain impact on health.
Firstly, Eajiao cake should not be eaten with radish.
As we all know, Eajiao cake is a product that helps supplement Qi and blood, while radish is a food that helps to release Qi. If the two are taken together, the effect will naturally be neutralized. In this way, Eajiao cake cannot fully exert its true effect and may even cause other symptoms to appear. Therefore, one must remember not to take Eajiao cake with radish.
Secondly, Eajiao cake should not be eaten with garlic.
Garlic is like radish, both of which belong to digestive and Qi-regulating foods. Therefore, if the two are taken together, it will not allow the efficacy of Eajiao cake to be fully exerted. In this way, it is not only a waste of money but also of time and energy. If taken together for a long time, it may even cause other diseases. Therefore, everyone should remember not to eat garlic when eating Eajiao cake.
Thirdly, Eajiao cake should not be eaten with strong tea.
The most abundant element in tea is L-theanine, and as we all know, L-theanine can greatly inhibit the absorption of nutrients by the human body. Therefore, if we drink strong tea after eating Eajiao cake, the efficacy of Eajiao cake will not be fully absorbed by the human body. In this way, we cannot achieve the effect of using Eajiao cake to assist in Qi and blood supplementation.
In addition to the three taboos mentioned above, it is also not allowed to cook mung bean porridge and Eajiao cake together. As mung beans belong to cold food, they can help detoxify and reduce fire very well, which is completely contradictory to the effects of Eajiao cake. Therefore, the two should not be eaten together. In addition, Coptis chinensis is also not recommended to be eaten with Eajiao cake.
