Introduction: Durian has a strong smell, and it's no exaggeration to say it's "stinky". In Thailand, however, due to its high nutritional value, durian is often used as a tonic for patients and postpartum women to nourish their bodies.
Garlic – Lustrous Hair
Many women worry that eating garlic will cause bad breath, but in fact, it is a "health guardian" for women.
Many epidemiological surveys have shown that the cancer incidence rates in garlic-producing areas and among long-term garlic consumers are significantly lower. Nutrition experts say that eating half a raw clove of garlic daily can inhibit breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and others.
Modern medical research has proven that allicin has strong antibacterial effects and is effective against various pathogenic microorganisms such as Trichomonas vaginalis and amoeba. Eating one raw clove of garlic daily can effectively prevent and treat vaginitis.
Dr. Uzon, a gastroenterologist from Turkey, said that regular consumption of garlic can not only prevent cancer and thrombosis but also keep hair black and shiny. Massaging the scalp with garlic juice can not only reduce hair loss but also turn white hair black.
Durian – Can Relieve Menstrual Cramps
Durian has a strong smell, and it's no exaggeration to say it's "stinky". In Thailand, however, due to its high nutritional value, durian is often used as a tonic for patients and postpartum women to nourish their bodies. Durian is "hot" in nature and can invigorate blood, dispel cold, and relieve menstrual cramps, making it especially suitable for women troubled by them. It can also improve symptoms of a cold abdomen, promote body temperature, and is an ideal tonic for people with a "cold" constitution. Additionally, a traditional folk remedy is to boil soup with durian shells and pork bones.
Although durian has many benefits, you should not eat too much at once, otherwise it can easily lead to body "heatiness" and cause "internal heat" due to the digestive system's inability to fully absorb it.
When eating durian, you might as well drink some light salt water or eat water-rich fruits to balance it, such as pears and watermelons, which can effectively eliminate heatiness. The best partner for durian is the mangosteen, known as the "Queen of Fruits," which can tame the "King of Fruits'" fiery nature and protect the body from harm.
Cilantro – Prevent Osteoporosis
Medical research shows that after the age of 40, bone formation decreases and the bone cortex becomes thinner, especially in women. At this point, the bone cortex is as thin as an eggshell and fragile. Experts remind that middle-aged women should eat more foods containing boron to help the body absorb minerals and protect bones, and cilantro is rich in boron.
In addition, cilantro is rich in elements such as iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C, which helps maintain stable blood sugar and can prevent cancer.
Toon – Can Aid Pregnancy
Studies have shown that toon contains vitamin E and sex hormone substances, which have anti-aging and nourishing effects, and are effective to a certain extent for infertility, hence it is known as a "pregnancy-aiding substance."
Nutrition experts introduce that toon contains volatile aromatic organic compounds such as toonin, which can strengthen the spleen and whet the appetite. It has the effects of clearing heat and draining dampness, promoting urination, and detoxification, and is a good adjuvant for treating enteritis, dysentery, and urinary tract infections.
Mustard – Rosy Complexion
Nutrition experts report that mustard has a strong pungent taste and a significant stimulant effect. It can regulate female endocrine function, enhance sexual function, and stimulate vasodilation, enhancing facial blood circulation and making women's faces rosier.
Nutrition experts say that the main component that makes mustard pungent is isothiocyanate. This component not only prevents cavities but also has certain effects in preventing cancer, preventing vascular plaque deposition, and assisting in the treatment of asthma. In addition, mustard can also prevent hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and coronary heart disease, and reduce blood viscosity.
