Eating ginseng can invigorate qi and lower blood sugar.

Wen/Lian ginseng is known as the "holy medicine in tonic", which belongs to the king of traditional Chinese medicine and occupies a place in traditional Chinese medicine. Since ancient times, it has been a very precious nourishing sacred product, which has many wonderful uses for health, not only replenishing vitality, reducing fatigue, but also helping to control blood sugar. Ginseng is a perennial herb of Panax in Araliaceae, which is warm in nature and nourishes five internal organs. It is a kind of health food with a long history. It has two-way adjustment function, which can not only replenish vitality, reduce fatigue, but also soothe the nerves. Unlike caffeine's refreshing effect, it is neither addictive nor exciting, which is quite suitable for modern people who often stay up late to work overtime, socialize, feel depressed and stressed. Besides the well-known functions of invigorating primordial qi, promoting fluid production to quench thirst and regulating physiological functions, ginseng can also control blood sugar. Canada did a related study in 2008. In the study, subjects took 2 grams of red ginseng powder after meals every day. After the experiment lasted for 2 months, it was found that the blood sugar of the subjects decreased. The results show that ginseng soap (RH2) contained in ginseng can lower blood sugar, because it has a similar effect to insulin. In addition, other studies show that Korean ginseng contains soap G-Rb2 similar to insulin, which can lower blood sugar level, improve carbohydrate metabolism, lower high cholesterol, and also improve diabetic symptoms such as general fatigue, burnout, shoulder pain and cold hands and feet. In addition, studies also show that it can improve blood viscosity and cerebral blood flow of diabetic patients and prevent complications. (Takeku et al., 1990, Yano et al., 1994, Tetsutani et al., 2000). There are also reports about the possibility of Korean ginseng as an alternative therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes (improving insulin resistance). In the study, 40 patients with type 2 diabetes were asked to take 2-6 grams of red ginseng every day for 3 months and 12 months respectively, and then the conclusion was put forward that Korean ginseng could be used as an alternative therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes. (Vuksan et al., Proceedings of the Eighth International Symposium, page 424, 2002) (Vuksan et al., Proceedings of the 10 International Symposium, page 3, page 20 10) Zheng, a professor at the Medical Research Institute of China Evergreen University, said that in the past, mice were fed fructose for two months and found to have insulin resistance. However, if mice are allowed to eat a small amount of red ginseng powder every day after meals, the blood sugar level will drop after one week, which shows that red ginseng can improve the problem of insulin resistance and increase the sensitivity of insulin, thus proving that red ginseng can control blood sugar. It is also recorded in ancient Chinese medicine books that ginseng is used to treat polydipsia, polydipsia and polyuria. Compared with modern diseases, the so-called diabetes in ancient times is what is called diabetes in modern times. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that diabetes is caused by kidney deficiency, and ginseng can just replenish qi. In addition, diabetic patients often suffer from diseases such as colds and high blood pressure due to decreased immunity. Chinese medicine suggests that you can eat ginseng to regulate your physique and enhance your resistance. As can be seen from the above, doctors and researchers at all times and all over the world are quite sure of the efficacy of ginseng in improving blood sugar. However, it should be noted that hypoglycemic agents and ginseng should be taken in several times, and the amount of ginseng must be reduced. Ginseng can be divided into water ginseng, white ginseng, Taiji ginseng and Korean ginseng according to processing methods, and Korean ginseng refers to Korean red ginseng. Ginseng is extracted from ginseng field, which has not been dried and is not suitable for long-term preservation. Peeling 4-5-year-old root ginseng, and sun-drying or oven-drying to obtain white ginseng; Soak ginseng in hot water and dry to obtain Taiji ginseng.
