How about eating mushrooms in spring? I heard that you should eat less fungus when the weather is hot, right?

This statement is incorrect and unscientific. Edible fungi have a long history. There was no artificial cultivation technology of edible fungi before. For example, most wild edible fungi can only be eaten in hot weather, and only in hot weather. It used to be said that eating less fungi in hot weather has nothing to do with the growth of edible fungi, and toxic fungi also grow in large quantities, so it is easy to have an accident without certain discrimination. But now the edible fungi on the market are basically cultivated artificially, and only after strict disinfection can good mushrooms be cultivated, so there is no poisoning.

In fact, in alternate seasons, we should eat more fungi. At present, just after the cold winter, the warm spring begins, and the weather is hot and cold. This is the "spring cover" of the traditional health care proverb in China. At that time, the temperature and humidity were gradually rising, and with the intersection of cold and warm weather, it was difficult for people to adapt to the sudden change of weather. Pathogens and viruses were constantly multiplying, and they were easily infected with epidemic diseases, such as influenza, mumps, measles and pneumonia.

In the current "spring season", we should pay attention to two points in the choice of ingredients: one is to try to choose something sweet and flat, and the other is to replenish the spleen and stomach. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, edible fungi are basically sweet in taste and flat in nature, which are beneficial to the stomach, spleen, deficiency, anticancer and kidney essence. In particular, Hericium erinaceus, Lentinus edodes and Flammulina velutipes contain a variety of amino acids and rich polysaccharides, which can help digestion and have significant curative effects on digestive tract diseases such as gastritis, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. It has a good therapeutic effect on anorexia, diarrhea, gastric and duodenal ulcer, neurasthenia, dizziness and other diseases. Hericium erinaceus is eaten by the elderly and patients with weak constitution, and also has the function of nourishing and strengthening. At the same time, fungi are good ingredients to improve the immune function of the body. At present, due to the rapid climate change, the number of patients suffering from various colds has also increased. In spring, due to the high air humidity and high air pressure, the oxygen capacity in the air will be reduced when people breathe, and the oxygen intake will be reduced, which makes people feel more tired, which is often called "spring sleep". Hericium erinaceus and other edible fungi can increase the oxygen tolerance of human body and often significantly improve the phenomenon of "spring sleep". .

While paying attention to the "spring cover" to keep warm, try to go to public places as little as possible to avoid cross-infection. In the choice of ingredients, of course, cold ingredients that are harmful to the spleen and stomach yang should be eaten less, and some warm ingredients are easy to get angry and should be eaten less. So remind everyone to try to choose plain ingredients and eat more fungi instead of eating less.
