Introduction
Gastrointestinal discomfort usually refers to poor stomach and intestinal health. In general, individuals with gastrointestinal issues can consume ginkgo seeds (white fruits), but they should do so in moderation. When preparing ginkgo seeds, cooking methods should be light and清淡 (light/flavorful?), avoiding oily and spicy seasonings to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. In daily life, it is advisable to maintain a bland and easily digestible diet, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid overeating, all of which contribute to better gastrointestinal health.
"Gastrointestinal discomfort" usually refers to stomach and intestinal issues. Generally, people with gastrointestinal problems can eat ginkgo nuts, but they should be consumed in moderation. Detailed explanations are as follows:
Ginkgo nuts are rich in protein, vitamins, and trace elements. People with gastrointestinal discomfort can usually consume them in moderation without increasing gastrointestinal burden. Additionally, this can help supplement nutrition, and cooking methods such as boiling can reduce their gastrointestinal irritation.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, ginkgo nuts are slightly cold in nature. Excessive consumption by individuals with gastrointestinal issues may lead to spleen and stomach cold deficiency, worsening gastrointestinal discomfort and causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Therefore, it is important to control the quantity when consuming ginkgo nuts.
When preparing ginkgo nuts, cooking methods should be light and清淡, avoiding oily and spicy ingredients to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. In daily life, one should primarily consume bland, easily digestible foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid overeating, all of which better support gastrointestinal health.
