Each type of sugar has a different role to play. When we use sugar in our diet, we have to remind ourselves that sugar is not just a flavoring agent, it has its own role. If you add the wrong kind of sugar, it will not only be ineffective, but sometimes counterproductive. When using sugar to flavor and match food, the first thing to grasp a general principle is to determine when to use what sugar according to the warmth and coolness of sugar. Brown sugar tonifies the blood and activates blood stasis Although it is not a refined sugar, don’t think of it as a lower grade because of that. Brown sugar is a very good thing, and women are generally more familiar with it as a tonic for qi and blood. Women must drink brown sugar water after giving birth, not only to replenish qi and blood, but also to help her drain the dew as soon as possible; in addition, when regulating wind and cold, we need to use brown sugar, and to regulate the weakness of the spleen and stomach, brown sugar is also indispensable. Women want to replenish their blood, but sometimes take expensive blood medicines are not good, this is because they are not allowed to do so. The new blood will be produced only after the old blood stasis is removed. Moreover, brown sugar is a warm thing, which can be useful in regulating all cold diseases; brown sugar is not exclusive to women, people with physical deficiencies and the elderly have a tonic effect by eating brown sugar. Brown sugar is rich in nutrition and low in sugar. Among white sugar, brown sugar and rock sugar, if you use the same amount, brown sugar has the least amount of sugar because it is the first extracted sugar and contains only 95% sugar, the rest is minerals and vitamins; compared with white sugar, brown sugar contains more things that are beneficial to our body. The trace elements contained in brown sugar have a strong stimulating effect on the body’s hematopoietic function, which is the key to its ability to replenish blood. In daily life, you can consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar as much as possible when cooking your diet, so that your family can have more opportunities to eat brown sugar, not only to control the overall intake of sugar, but also to take advantage of the nutrition of brown sugar; brown sugar should not be cooked in a pot for a long time, and is generally used to make cold dishes more suitable. Put a little brown sugar in cold dishes, the taste will be better. And most of the raw dishes are cold, a little brown sugar can also warm the stomach. It’s best not to mix it directly, but to stir it into the dressing before putting it in; one thing to note is that brown sugar is rich in minerals and can easily produce chemical reactions. If you use brown sugar to cook food, be careful not to let it heat up in the pot for too long. Especially when you use an iron pot, it is easier to have a chemical reaction with brown sugar, so brown sugar is generally better to put in the starting pot. Note: Brown sugar is warm. People with a hot body should use caution and eat too much of it to easily produce damp heat. Children are also not suitable to eat more brown sugar. In all seasons of the year, brown sugar should be eaten sparingly in spring. Rock sugar can moisten the lungs and clear the fire. Contrary to brown sugar, rock sugar is cool. If brown sugar is used for wind-cold colds, icing sugar is used for wind-heat colds. Brown sugar is suitable for summer and winter, while rock sugar is suitable for spring and autumn. In spring, when the weather just starts to heat up slowly, there will be many people who are prone to coughing with fire and dry cough. If it is a dry cough without phlegm, you can use rock sugar. It can clear the fire and also moisten our lungs and clear the lung heat. In spring, we use rock sugar more than brown sugar, if you usually love to drink brown sugar water, then you can reduce the amount in spring, because brown sugar is warm and may cause fire. White sugar can detoxify and treat emergencies White sugar is the most used condiment, but because white sugar is refined, the nutrients in it have been very little, it mainly plays a role of flavoring. White sugar also contains a lot of sugar, which can affect the health of the body if eaten in excess. Sometimes we also use white sugar in our diet because it has a certain effect of moistening the lungs and clearing lung heat. However, rock sugar is more effective in clearing lung heat and is preferred in stews. White sugar, in addition, has a certain detoxifying effect. In fact, all sweet sugars have a little detoxifying effect, and white sugar has a faster effect because of its very high sugar content. In the past, if someone ate something toxic, in an emergency, people would give him white sugar water immediately to detoxify him. Drinking white sugar water can also neutralize the poison of fish and shrimp. Let’s say if you eat crab, you shouldn’t put brown sugar. Because crab is cold, brown sugar conflicts with it. So, after eating crab, it is recommended that you can drink a bowl of ginger sugar water. Method: 1, ginger peeled, cut into thin shreds; 2, in this ginger shreds you put a little sugar, and then with boiling water, a little stew for 1 minute, you can drink. After drinking, you will feel warm and comfortable inside your stomach. Some people suddenly have stomach pain and discomfort, immediately drink hot sugar water, there is a pain relief effect. If you can identify that your abdominal pain is cold, you can drink brown sugar water. But if suddenly your stomach hurts a little and you can’t tell right away, then using white sugar is a more convenient option. Some people don’t eat all day and feel dizzy, which is a reaction to low blood sugar, and drinking a glass of white sugar water right away can also relieve it. We are used to using white sugar in cooking, one reason is that white sugar dissolves quickly, and another reason is that brown sugar is not suitable for long cooking. But white sugar is an acidic food, and when eaten, it makes our blood more acidic, and this effect is very strong. The human body has to be on the alkaline side to maintain a healthy state. If the blood is on the acidic side for a long time, toxins will accumulate in our body and cancer cells grow in an acidic environment. So, when you use white sugar, try to control the amount of it, so that it will be healthier.
