Goji berries are beneficial, but they are not suitable for everyone. Who should not eat goji berries? How many goji berries should one eat per day? Regarding these questions, the following provides a brief introduction, hoping to help everyone gain a new understanding of goji berries.
Goji berries are a treasure all over. According to Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" from the Ming Dynasty: "Goji leaves picked in spring are called Tianjingcao; flowers picked in summer are called Changshengcao; fruits picked in autumn are called Goji berries; and roots picked in winter are called Digupi." The leaves, flowers, and roots of goji are also premium food supplements. Goji berries are a common nutritional and health supplement. As a medicinal and edible food for tonifying, they have various consumption methods. In folk traditions, they are often used to cook congee, simmer syrups, soak in wine, or be formulated with other herbs.
I. Suitable Groups:
The best candidates for eating goji berries are those with a weak constitution and poor immunity. However, it is essential to eat a small amount daily and persist for a long time to see effects.
II. Unsuitable Groups:
Because of their strong warming effect on the body, people who have a cold, fever, inflammation, or diarrhea should best avoid them. Additionally, individuals with high blood pressure, overly irritable temperaments, or those who typically consume large amounts of meat resulting in a flushed face should also refrain from consumption.
III. How many goji berries should one eat per day?
Although goji berries have excellent nourishing and therapeutic effects, any supplement should not be consumed excessively, and goji berries are no exception.
