Taro is not a hairy substance, and in the absence of allergies, consumption of taro does not induce or aggravate disease or cause physical discomfort. Hair products are generally foods that contain certain hormones, specific proteins or are strongly irritating, and taro does not fit into this category of concepts. Therefore, you can eat taro in moderation with your doctor’s permission after surgery, after vaccinations, and in the case of acne. The main components of taro are starch, sugar, phosphorus, potassium, carotene and other nutrients, which do not contain irritating ingredients, and therefore do not belong to hair products. Because of the high starch content of taro, it can be used as an alternative to staple foods for weight loss, which is good for replenishing the body’s energy and can also provide some of the nutrients required by the body, making it suitable as one of the ingredients to replace staple foods for people on a diet. However, people who are originally hypoglycemic are not suitable to eat taro, because it may cause hypoglycemic symptoms. And people with weak spleen and stomach, eating taro can easily cause indigestion, so it is also not recommended to eat a lot. Common hairy foods include fish, shrimp, crabs, eggs and other foods, which contain hormones and xenobiotics, which may become one of the allergens for some patients, and from the perspective of Chinese medicine, these foods are considered to be hairy. In addition, some spicy and stimulating foods, such as strong wine, onion, ginger, pepper and dog meat, are considered by TCM as heat-generating substances, and some glutinous rice, syrup and other damp-heat-generating substances, all belong to the category of hair-generating substances. It is not recommended for patients with fever, allergies, diarrhea, sores, etc., as well as patients in the treatment and recovery of diseases.
