Many patients with myasthenia gravis in the clinic believe that they cannot eat radishes, and some are even afraid to eat carrots. I think the radish is one of the most commonly consumed and favorite foods, but this generalized view is biased. The Chinese medicine believes that the fundamental pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis is qi deficiency, so the treatment is to supplement the qi is the root of the cure, the diet of Chinese medicine believes that it is appropriate to warm tonic. The common people think that the radish is the product that consumes qi, especially when taking ginseng type tonic medicine is more contraindicated. In fact, this is only know one, do not know the other. First of all, China’s vast territory, many varieties of radish. Generally speaking, red radish and carrot are slightly warm, white radish is flat and green radish is slightly cold. Patients with myasthenia gravis are more suitable to eat carrots, carrots and white radishes. The coldness of green radish has been removed after boiling, which is beneficial to the spleen and stomach, so there is no problem to eat in moderation. Secondly, Chinese medicine says that the qi of the five organs and six bowels should be coordinated. The spleen qi should be raised and the stomach qi should be lowered. Myasthenia gravis is a chronic disease, patients need to take long-term tonic Chinese medicine, taking astragalus, ginseng, party ginseng type of tonic qi, rising Yang Qi. And radish into the spleen and stomach two meridians to strengthen the stomach and eliminate food, but also can nourish the middle. Some patients get on fire or have difficulty taking qi tonics. The New Compilation of Materia Medica says that ginseng and radish seeds are used together and complement each other, “Ginseng is a tonic for qi, and it will be difficult to take qi suddenly, not to stop the symptoms of asthma and swelling, but to get radish seeds, in order to carry out its tonic for the benefit of qi, the qi is calm and easy to accept. It is the surplus of radish seeds to calm the qi, not the deficiency of loss of qi. The actual system of ginseng to calm its qi, not system of ginseng to hurt its qi also.” Zhang Xicun, a famous modern Chinese medicine doctor, praised radish seeds as “a product that calms qi, not a product that breaks qi.” It is said that it is “used to eliminate food and smooth the qi, and does not hurt the qi, because it can eat more, and the qi gets its own nourishment.” Radish has a calmer odor than radish seeds, and when eaten properly with Chinese herbs, it definitely will not hurt the vital energy. Furthermore, from the perspective of modern medicine and nutrition, radish has high nutritional value. Radish is rich in carbohydrates and a variety of vitamins, of which the content of vitamin C is 8-10 times higher than that of pear. Radish does not contain oxalic acid, which not only does not combine with calcium in food, but also facilitates the absorption of calcium. Radish contains a variety of trace elements that can induce the body to produce its own interferon, which can enhance the body’s immunity, and the folic acid it contains has anti-cancer effects, and lignin can also improve the body’s immunity to cancer tumors, which is important for cancer prevention and anti-cancer. Mustard oil and dietary fiber in radish can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help the discharge of waste in the body. Regular consumption of radish can lower blood lipids, soften blood vessels, stabilize blood pressure, and prevent coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, gallstone disease and other diseases. Northeast carrots can also effectively regulate the acid-base balance in the body, which is very beneficial to gout patients. Carrots can provide rich vitamin A, which is beneficial to maintain normal vision and treat night blindness and dry eyes. Therefore, patients suffering from myasthenia gravis and some other diseases at the same time can choose some suitable varieties of radish according to their own situation, such as eye muscle type patients can eat more carrots, while patients suffering from hyperuricemia or gout can choose the northeast carrots. Western medicine recommends patients with myasthenia gravis to choose a diet high in protein and rich in potassium and calcium to supplement their nutrition, and there are no special restrictions on their diet. In contrast, patients with myasthenia gravis are mostly weak in temper, and a high-protein diet is not suitable for digestion and absorption. Adding an appropriate amount of radish to strengthen the stomach and eliminate food can help digestion and absorption of nutrients, while avoiding thick and greasy diets that damage the qi of the spleen and stomach. This is from another point of view, that is, the role of tonic in the qi. For thousands of years, although the people do not know so much scientific reasoning, but people know the many benefits of eating radish to prevent and cure diseases. Our folklore spreads like “Radish on the market, the doctor is fine”, “eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, do not want the doctor to prescribe”, “eat radish and drink tea, angry doctor crawl all over the street” and other common sayings. . Carrots are also known as “small ginseng”. The onset of myasthenia gravis is related to the weakened immunity of the human body, and patients are often triggered or relapsed due to respiratory infections, while the carrot has such a good disease prevention effect, we should not easily refuse. Myasthenia gravis patients consume radish, stew, boil, stir-fry can be, the hot season moderate amount of cold food can also be. However, the raw radish produces more gas, and patients with myasthenia gravis have to eat less or abstain from eating it if they have weak spleen and are prone to abdominal distension. Here we recommend a radish with lamb brisket, which is a good dish for patients with myasthenia gravis. You do not have to stick to this one dish, according to the above principles to change their favorite diet with Chinese and Western medicine treatment, will certainly achieve better results.
