The efficacy of sugar is very different
Brown sugar: warm, beneficial
Hong Min, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, said that the brown sugar, brown sugar, yellow sugar, and sugar in our lives all belong to the category of brown sugar. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, brown sugar is warm and has a tonic effect. It can strengthen the spleen, warm the stomach, replenish qi, and promote blood circulation. Women, children, the elderly, physical Deficiency (cold, looking white, etc.) are suitable for people to eat, Yin Huo-wang (often dry mouth, mouth pain, constipation, etc.) will eat less.
Brown sugar is widely used in life. For example, cold and dysmenorrhea can be used to drink some ginger syrup. At this time, brown sugar must be used. A small method to treat severe colds and colds is to add ginger, scallions, and tangerine peel, and finally add brown sugar. Generally do not use rock sugar, because the rock sugar is cool, when governing cold and cold, to fight cold, if you use rock sugar, it is equal to the temperature of the medicine offset. In addition, you can also use brown sugar boiled eggs, can make brown sugar and eggs complement each other, to enhance the role of replenishment, women can eat at the end of menstruation. Using porridge with longan and adding some brown sugar can also help improve sleep.
Rock sugar: cool and moist
Rock candy is cool, there is nourishing Yin Sheng Jin, lungs and cough, especially for dryness cough, dry cough has a good moistening effect. If you distinguish from the season, it is better to eat rock sugar in autumn and winter. Take the current weather as an example. In autumn and autumn, the air is dry, and many people have the “Qiuzao†performance. Dry skin, dry itchy throat, nosebleeds, coughing, etc., then you can properly eat some candy and lungs. lung. Such as rock candy, stewed pear or stewed white fungus, must put sugar, white fungus lungs, it and rock sugar together have a "1 1> 2" role, if you put other sugar, not such a good effect.

In clinical practice, Chinese medicine will use white sugar as a role in promoting wound healing, and it is used to treat wounds that have become unrecoverable.

Just different composition
Dr. Zhao Yongyi, deputy chief physician of the Clinical Nutrition Division of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, said that brown sugar, white sugar, and rock sugar are made from sugar beets and sugar cane as raw materials. Brown sugar is the roughest sugar extracted directly from plants. White sugar is processed from brown sugar. In the process of refining, the color and impurities are removed, and it becomes pure and pure, but it also discards some of the rich nutrients in brown sugar. Rock sugar is made from white sugar as raw material, dissolved in water, mixed with impurities, clear juice, evaporated and concentrated, and then cooled and crystallized. It is divided into polycrystalline rock sugar and single crystal rock sugar.
Therefore, from a nutritional point of view, whether white sugar or rock sugar, the main ingredient is sucrose, which can provide heat to the body, but the brown sugar contains more beneficial minerals and vitamins to the body.
Don't know about these sugars
Sugar substitute
Many parents would relax their guard when they see a “zero-energy†or snack snack in their bags saying “Without sucroseâ€. In fact, these drinks or snacks are often added Abscis sweet, cyclamate and other sugar substitutes.
Zhao Yongyi said that sugar substitute is actually a kind of sweetener. Sweeteners effectively solve the problem of high cost and high energy of sucrose, and its sweetness is only lower than that of sucrose. At present, there is still much controversy about the safety of sugar substitutes in the academic community. However, the addition of sugar substitutes by merchants is within the scope of national security. Parents should pay attention to the fact that if children eat a variety of snacks, if they all contain some sugar substitutes, then there may be a superimposed effect, resulting in excessive intake. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the ingredient list when buying snacks and drinks. The best way is to control the amount of snacks children eat.
Brown sugar
Recently, it is very popular on the Internet to buy “brown sugar†from Taiwan. It is believed that brown sugar has a deeper color, contains more minerals and vitamins than brown sugar, and has a stronger tonic effect. Maternal or patient eating results are more effective. Zhao Yongyi explained that brown sugar also belongs to brown sugar, and its color is deeper. Just because the temperature and time are different in the refining process, it does not mean that it has more beneficial ingredients, so it should not be too superstitious about brown sugar.
Low sugar
Sugar can cause fluctuations in blood sugar for the elderly, especially for elderly people with diabetes. As a result, there are many foods that are nominally "sugar-free" and "low-sugar". Then these foods, diabetic elderly really can rest assured that the food. Zhao Yongyi said that most of the major sugar-free food products on the market today (most of which use sugar to increase sweetness or use other flavors) are mostly made of refined rice and noodles. For example, sugar-free cookies, sugar-free bread, etc.
The other nutrients in refined rice are almost gone, leaving only the empty heat of starch. Therefore, eating refined rice is equivalent to eating refined sugar. The starch that is eaten into the body can be rapidly decomposed into glucose and quickly absorbed by the body under the action of amylase. Therefore, it can be said that many sugar-free foods are foods with a very high glycemic index and are not suitable for a large number of diabetic patients.
