There are many reports that suggest eating tomatoes can prevent cancer. Let me ask everyone, how should you eat tomatoes? Some might say, "Isn't it simple? Just wash and eat them raw." Others slice them, add sugar, and drink some beer. If that's how you eat them, then the cancer-preventing properties of the tomato are wasted!
Stir-fried Tomatoes with Eggs
Inside tomatoes, there is a substance called lycopene. It binds with protein and is surrounded by cellulose, making it difficult to be released. Therefore, it must be heated; only when heated to a certain temperature is it released. That's why stir-fried tomatoes with eggs is the best combination.
Garlic
That garlic is the "king of anti-cancer foods" is a deeply held belief. The best way to eat it is to first slice it into thin pieces and let them sit in the air for 15 minutes. This allows it to combine with oxygen to produce allicin. Garlic itself is not anti-cancer; allicin is, and it is the true "king of anti-cancer foods." Many people eat garlic, usually chewing and swallowing it in less than 5 seconds. Without even 5 seconds, the allicin has no chance to become effective.
Also, there's no need to worry about the garlic smell. Eating some hawthorn, chewing on some peanuts, or having some good tea will get rid of it.
Black Fungus
Nowadays, the incidence of myocardial infarction is getting higher and higher, and the age of patients is getting younger, even as young as 30. The incidence is particularly high around the New Year. A major reason is a hypercoagulable state, or thick blood, which is caused by high fat content. People with thick blood are said to have a hypercoagulable constitution. When people with a hypercoagulable constitution eat hypercoagulable foods, there is a particularly high number of myocardial infarction cases, regardless of age. Although myocardial infarction cannot be cured, it can be completely prevented.
Modern medical research has shown that if each person consumes 5-10 grams of black fungus daily, its anti-platelet aggregation effect is equivalent to taking a low dose of aspirin every day. Therefore, people call black fungus "food aspirin." Aspirin has side effects, and long-term use can cause眼底出血 (fundus hemorrhage), whereas black fungus has no side effects and is therefore more popular. At the same time, black fungus has a significant anticoagulant effect. It can prevent cholesterol in the blood from depositing and clotting on blood vessel walls. Due to its anti-platelet aggregation and blood-thinning effects, black fungus can reduce blood clots and prevent thrombosis. It is very beneficial for delaying the onset and development of arteriosclerosis in middle-aged people. It is also effective for the prevention, treatment, and health care of coronary heart disease, other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and arteriosclerosis.
The way black fungus is eaten is very particular. Generally, it is not easily digested and absorbed when stir-fried. The best way is to wash the black fungus, soak it in warm water for 24 hours to remove impurities. First, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer patiently for about 4 hours. The black fungus should be crispy, and the soup should be thick. The ideal consistency is when you lift it with chopsticks or a spoon, the soup flows down in a thread-like stream. Then, add an appropriate amount of red dates. After the red dates are cooked, let it cool before eating. It is best not to add sugar.
