According to traditional medicine, bitter melon is bitter in taste, cold in nature when raw, and warm when cooked. Eaten raw, it clears summer heat and fire, relieves heat and annoyance; eaten cooked, it nourishes the blood and liver, moistens the spleen and tonifies the kidneys. Folk often use bitter melon in the summer to clear heat and dispel summer heat, bright eyes and detoxify. At the same time, bitter melon is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, both equivalent to nearly three times that of tomatoes. And vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant, which can improve the body’s stress capacity and reduce the risk of cancer. Bitter melon, also known as Zizhi, has about one hundred and twenty milligrams of precious natural vitamin C in one hundred grams of bitter melon, which is an amazing amount. Bitter melon has a superb effect on eliminating heat and strengthening the body, and is a special medicine for people with unhealthy stomachs and poor liver function. The liver is the “chemical factory” of the human body and has many functions. For example, it can secrete bile, process nutrients absorbed from the intestine, and detoxify various harmful substances in the body and then expel them from the body. Liver diseases often leave doctors at their wits’ end. Therefore, if you want your liver to function properly and well, the best way is to take care of it on a regular basis. The best way to take care of it is to eat bitter foods once a week. The most common bitter food is bitter melon, which has a strong bitter taste and is known as the “king of bitterness”. It is not popular because its bitter taste stays on the tongue for a long time. However, although bitter melon is bitter, the bitter taste is good for the stomach and liver. Bitter melon has no pests and does not need to be sprayed with pesticides. Although you will not be able to bear the bitter taste when you first eat it, once you get used to it, you will not only increase your appetite, but also become addicted to it and love it more and more.
