In her later years Tram ate dishes made from mugwort which boosted blood flow to her brain and she lived a very long life
In macrobiotic terms mugwort is one of the most yang among leafy greens
Its leaves are needle-shaped bitter in taste and its stem is firm
When stored in the refrigerator it stays fresh for a remarkably long time and resists spoilage much longer than other herbs
In traditional Chinese medicine mugwort is widely used
It truly is a life-saving herb rescuing people from illness
and death Mugwort is used to make moxa sticks and moxa cones
To expel cold and dampness as mugwort has exceptional ability to draw out these elements
In feng shui dried mugwort is also used to dispel heavy negative energy from land or homes
When experiencing back pain people often apply fresh mugwort stir-fried with vinegar to the affected area
It has the ability to dispel stagnation and promote the circulation of qi and blood
Particularly it is one of the plants rich in flavonoids and various amino acids
It has the potential to support the treatment of various ailments in medicine
So exactly how should mugwort be used for optimal and most beneficial health outcomes
So please join me in watching today's video
The first benefit of mugwort is to promote blood circulation
Frequent dizziness headaches blurred vision and excessive
sleepiness may be signs of poor blood circulation
You can remedy this by adding mugwort to your daily
meals as mugwort leaves contain the compound alpha-thion
Stimulating the nervous system it simultaneously helps significantly reduce pain episodes
You'll want to rinse this mugwort thoroughly
The second benefit provided by mugwort is its ability to treat vestibular
disorders enhancing brain function through its antioxidant compounds
supporting nerve relaxation improving memory preventing certain conditions
such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
while also restoring vestibular function
Boosting immune system health and effectively preventing illness
Mugwort contains chamazulene which functions similarly to antioxidants
Combat stress and prevent causes of cardiovascular disease cancer and Alzheimer's
Mugwort contains the compound erteminicin
with the ability to inhibit the formation of cytokines that counteract inflammatory processes
Now please finely chop this mugwort
Angelica root is mentioned for its benefit in promoting strong bones
Statistics show the rate of people suffering from joint and bone disorders
The trend is growing exponentially and becoming increasingly younger
We often have the habit of taking painkillers in situations like this
However this habit is extremely harmful to health in the long run
In traditional medicine mugwort has a bitter pungent taste and warm nature helping
to promote blood and qi circulation and is commonly used to treat arthritis
In addition mugwort contains various essential oils and snail extract both of which possess
antibacterial anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties for joint and muscle discomfort
and effectively supports relieving stiffness It helps
alleviate pain in the spine bones muscles and joints
caused by illnesses and changes in weather
Mugwort is also known for its ability to help your body eliminate toxins
plays a crucial role as a diuretic helping
to eliminate the buildup of harmful substances
such as urea uric acid fats excess salts and water
This allows your body to eliminate harmful toxins
and support better liver and kidney function
In cases of overweight high blood pressure arthritis or gout
related to the accumulation of toxins in the body
That's why using this knife will benefit your health
It has been significantly improved
And it is also known for its effectiveness in treating insomnia
In ancient China mugwort leaves were commonly used as a natural sleep aid
credibly valuable and possessing a very delicate fragrance highly favored by the Lord
Although many people find mugwort quite
bitter and unpleasant to eat making
them unlikely to choose this type of knife sleep is of utmost importance
It occupies a significant portion of each person's life
That's why you should start making the most of this incredible knife as soon as possible
It warms the meridians regulates qi and blood calms the spirit soothes the mind unblocks the channels and promotes circulation
used for acupuncture and boiling water to
drink or for preparing soups and egg dishes
It has a gentle refreshing aroma that warms the body and
soothes the mind especially beneficial for elderly women and men
Lying awake at night unable to fall asleep as darkness settles
in—this is one of the most effective methods you should try
And here's all the mugwort I have I'll set it aside for now
Next I'll need to prepare two more eggs for this recipe
Eggs contain abundant amounts of vitamins A D E B1 B6 and B12
and some minerals such as magnesium calcium selenium and zinc
It is also a rich source of protein and contains certain acids beneficial to the immune system
Especially for women egg yolk is truly a miracle
remedy for effectively combating skin aging
Proteins in eggs also play a vital role in
repairing tissues and tightening the skin
And did you know that the vitamin D content in
chicken eggs helps absorb calcium strengthening bones
Therefore those suffering from osteoporosis
should include eggs in their daily diet
Now please stir this egg mixture well
Now I'll need to prepare a few more red apples
You can use whatever amount you prefer
Red dates also known as Chinese dates have long been used as a medicinal herb in
traditional medicine and are renowned for their
ability to improve blood flow to the brain
Clinical studies show that extract from Chinese red
dates can improve memory and help protect brain cells
And in red dates it is believed they can enhance memory Red
dates contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds
protect against harmful oxidative stress in the brain
Please rinse this red date part thoroughly
When you have cerebral anemia it's unavoidable
That is the condition of insomnia
And red dates will be one of the most excellent solutions
to help improve chronic insomnia
Animal studies show that ferulic acid and flavonoids
in red dates have a calming
effect on the nervous system
Saponins flavonoids and polysaccharides found in red
dates have also been proven to have sedative effects
And here's my entire apple portion I 'll
put it into a pot along with that
Boil the water for about 10 minutes
You can use this water as
needed for your household
Here I use 500 ml of water
After simmering the goji berries for 10 minutes
I'll add all the mugwort leaves now
After cooking for 1 to 2 minutes you can add the eggs
This dish is highly beneficial for heart health because it contains
numerous nutrients that support the
well-being of the heart and blood vessels
And after cooking the mugwort for 3
minutes like this I 'll
now add the eggs
Pour slowly so the egg blends smoothly and dissolves beautifully
When you add the egg like this
Then cooking for one more minute will fully set the egg
When using red date mugwort and egg
It will help strengthen your gut health and improve
the environment for beneficial bacteria in your gut
and the exposure of the inner lining to harmful ammonia
Now turn off the heat and serve it onto a plate
then enjoy it
This is more than just a dish—it 's
a natural
approach that helps you stay healthy boosts your immunity and guards against illness
Although mugwort offers many health benefits it
should not be used regularly
in the following cases
First individuals with a history of
hepatitis should limit their use of this
herb Second pregnant women in their first three months should also avoid it
and therefore should not use mugwort
The third group includes individuals with acute gastrointestinal disorders
or arterial sclerosis kidney stones
It is also advised not to consume mugwort in excess

Dear respected guests
When it comes to health care
Many of us immediately
think of medicine dietary
supplements or expensive treatment methods
However in clinical practice I'
ve observed that the most crucial
foundation for long-term health
actually begins with simple things
very close and familiar
in daily life especially
in terms of diet In today 's
video I'd like to share
from a scientific modern
medical perspective
and practical
applications in daily life
The entire content is presented
a clear age-appropriate manner for
middle-aged and elderly individuals
designed to help them easily adopt and
safely maintain the practice long-term
and effectiveness Today's video consists of
three main parts In the
first part I will share
on the scientific and medical foundation
of garlic including its history of use
active constituents and biological mechanisms
that enable garlic to exert its effects
o the human body
In the second part we will explore
the actual effects of garlic
on vital organ systems
such as immunity cardiovascular
neurological digestive and liver health while
clarifying the principles of using
garlic correctly and in appropriate doses
and safe
In the third part I will share
a very specific and easy-to-implement
application at home which is the way to
Use garlic soaked in warm water
to support joint and cardiovascular
health especially suitable for
middle-aged and elderly individuals
Part one the scientific and
medical foundation of garlic Dear
friends there are certain foods
that not only provide energy
but also carry clear medicinal
value that humans have utilized for
thousands of years and that modern
science increasingly validates
a prime example
of such a case
This is not an old wives' tale
passed down orally but rather
a serious subject of medical
research supported by specific
biochemical and clinical evidence
Therefore in this sharing section
I would like to sequentially present the most essential
content to help you understand
the scientific essence of garlic
ow garlic affects human
health and how to properly
apply garlic in daily life
to support disease preventio
and improve long-term quality
of life before delving into
the specific benefits of garlic
The key is understanding why
A familiar food like garlic has
long attracted medical attention over
thousands of years with its repeated
appearance throughout history
In ancient medical systems
this was no mere coincidence but
reflected long-term practical
observations of its effects
with regard to human health
When we examine these experiences
through the lens of modern science
we find numerous parallels
Notably garlic has been used as
medicine for thousands of years
Historical records show that
ancient Egyptians used garlic
To enhance physical endurance in laborers the
ancient Greeks used garlic soldiers consumed it
before battle and in traditional Eastern medicine
it has long been valued for its health benefits
ai is considered a warming herb
with a pungent taste affecting
the spleen stomach and lungs These
are the accumulated experiences
It is in no way contradictory
to modern science but rather
increasingly supported by
biochemical and clinical research
What is particularly important to
emphasize is that allicin does not exist in
its ready form within intact garlic
cloves In the natural structure of garlic
Allicin precursors and the
enzyme allinase are separated
from each other until garlic
is crushed ground or chopped
These two components only interact
when garlic is heated producing
alisin—a highly temperature-
sensitive biochemical reaction
It is immediately
heated the enzyme
is destroyed before allicin has
a chance to form significantly
reducing garlic's medicinal value
That is why preparation methods
largely determine garlic 's
effectiveness for health
Second practical benefits
and the principles of garlic usage
Regarding immunity
allicin and sulfur-containing compounds
in garlic are capable of inhibiting
e development
of various types of bacteria viruses and fungi The mechanism of garlic's
action differs from that
of synthetic antibiotics
Unlike antibiotics garlic not only targets
A single metabolic pathway
that simultaneously affects multiple structures
of microorganisms
This helps limit the development of drug resistance
Studies show that regular
garlic consumption may reduce
the frequency of colds and
shorten the duration of recovery
and help the body resist respiratory infections especially
in older adults whose immune
systems have weakened with age
For cardiovascular health garlic has
been proven to support the management
of blood lipids and
blood pressure with
its active compounds helping to reduce
otal cholesterol and bad
cholesterol
while simultaneously limiting
lipid oxidation a key factor in
the development of arterial plaques
Moreover garlic also stimulates the
production of nitric oxide a substance
that helps dilate blood vessels
thereby improving blood circulation
and reduce vascular pressure in
middle-aged and elderly individuals
This factor is crucial in
preventing cardiovascular events
such as heart attacks and strokes
Not limited to cardiovascular
health garlic also plays a
role in protecting nerve cells
brain aging is closely
linked to oxidative stress and
chronic inflammation the
antioxidants found in garlic
elp neutralize free
radicals slow neuronal damage
and support the maintenance
of cognitive function
For the digestive system and liver garlic
helps balance gut microbiota through
its targeted antibacterial properties
when microbial balance is stabilized
symptoms such as bloating abdominal
distension and digestive discomfort
will subside Meanwhile the sulfur
-containing compounds in garlic
It also supports
the function of detoxifying enzymes in the liver helping the
liver process toxins from alcohol beer
and fatty oily foods more effectively
Any herbal remedy
including natural ones can
cause unwanted side effects
if not used properly
Therefore in addition to
understanding the benefits we must
clearly grasp the important principles related to dosage
Usage and target users
Garlic is a medicinal herb with a warm
nature and strong biological activity Excessive
use can lead to adverse effects
may cause severe irritation to the stomach
lining internal heat eye irritation
and increase the risk of bleeding
individuals taking blood-thinning medications
The recommended appropriate dosage
is only 1 to 2 slices per day
equivalent to about 3 to 5 grams For
individuals with sensitive stomachs
or elderly individuals should
avoid eating raw garlic and instead
opt for processed forms such as
minced garlic left to sit in the air
en mix into slightly cooled
food or pickled garlic or honey
-pickled garlic finally what I want to emphasize most is
It's not about using garlic to treat
a specific illness but rather how
we perceive garlic within the broader
context of preventive medicine
Food is not just for filling the stomach
but also the foundation of disease
prevention Garlic is not a miracle cure
and cannot heal illness with a single dose
But when used regularly appropriately
and in accordance with
one's physical condition it can become an
important part of a
protective strategy
Long-term health
Sustainable health doesn't come from quick fixes
but from understanding
discipline and habits
doing the right thing every day
Part 3 Garlic soaked in warm water
Dear respected seniors
I’d like to share a practical application
very simple—just soak
garlic in warm water —a gentle
easy-to-apply way to use garlic
and particularly suitable for middle-aged and elderly individuals
The ingredients needed are
3 fresh cloves of garlic
About 200ml warm water and
a few grains of clean salt
Here's how to do it: peel the garlic then lightly crush it
or coarsely chopped
place into a cup add a
few grains of salt
then pour in warm water
So that the water is lukewarm not hot
Soak this mixture
for about 30 minutes
then the garlic water can be used
Drink the water while it's slightly warm
The garlic pulp can be eaten or discarded
depending on individual digestive tolerance
As I've analyzed
The most important active compound in garlic is allicin but allicin does not naturally
exist intact garlic cloves
Only when garlic is crushed
and exposed to air does
allicin form However
allicin is highly sensitive
at high temperatures if exposed
to boiling water or excessively hot
heat the biological structure of
alisin will be rapidly destroyed
That is why using warm
water rather than boiling
water is the key factor
warm water helps dissolve
and release the beneficial compounds
in garlic without diminishing
their biological activity This
is the fundamental difference
between soaking garlic in warm water and putting
garlic into hot water or cooking it thoroughly there
is a complete difference For joint and bone health
soaking garlic in warm water proves effective
The primary effects occur through two
mechanisms: first by reducing chronic low
-grade inflammation a factor commonly
found in chronic musculoskeletal disorders
such as joint degeneration
and joint or back pain The
sulfur compounds in garlic
have the ability to inhib
Some inflammatory intermediates
thereby helping to alleviate lingering pain
and morning joint stiffness
Secondly it enhances
microcirculation promoting blood supply to
between joints it provides better support
and promotes the natural healing process
of cartilage and connective tissue However
it is essential to understand clearly tha
This is merely a long-term supportive measure
not a substitute treatment For cardiovascular
health garlic soaked in warm water offers
benefits in supporting overall function
regulate blood lipids and
improve vascular elasticity When
allicin and antioxidant compounds
are absorbed in moderate amounts
They help limit the oxidation of
bad cholesterol a crucial step in
plaque formation particularly
important for middle-aged individuals
and for the elderly this serves as a
crucial foundation in preventing long-
term cardiovascular events Regarding the
timing of use warm water-soaked garlic
Avoid drinking on a completely empty
stomach especially for those with
a history of gastritis the optimal
time is about an hour after eating
Thirty minutes or in the late
morning use only once daily
equivalent to 1 to 2 garlic
cloves excessive use is discouraged
Thinking too much is a mistake
and can backfire certain
individuals must exercise
particular caution when using it
cluding those taking blood thinners
those preparing for surgery individuals
with severe liver disease or those
with an overly hot constitutio
易上火 In such cases
medical advice
is essential
to ensure safety
Thank you so much to you
both for your trust support
and for taking the time to watch today's video
Wishing you both continued
health and peace Dear friends every day I have coffee
sometimes one cup sometimes two
Some drink it to stay
alert others out of habit
and some simply because they enjoy its aroma
and the warm comforting sensation it leaves
in their mouth Yet when coffee is mentioned
I notice around me people often hear more
about things that aren't pleasant than
about good things—some say coffee harms
the heart others say it causes insomnia
Some say it's bad for
the spleen others claim
it harms the bones and kidneys—after hearing
so much I've started to worry but giving it
up completely is hard Many older relatives
and jokingly say that
without a cup of coffee they couldn't even open their eyes in the morning
I think what makes us most
delusional is how overwhelming
the amount of information has become nowadays
Sometimes the same matter is described one way
by one person another way by another each seeming
reasonable in their own
right in truth whether the
image is good or bad often depends on perspective
s something created depending
on which direction you choose
to believe in nowadays what
we decide to read or listen to
It's so easy really That's why sometimes we
only see one side of things and the more
time passes the more afraid we become So
today I don't want to
talk in that way anymore
Good coffee or bad coffee — I
just want to share
a lighter perspective —
nothing is entirely
good nor is anything entirely bad
It's completely wrong What matters is
how you drink in a way that suits your
body your age and your health condition
Please listen carefully
Auntie and Uncle
Choose whatever feels right
keep what suits skip what
doesn't no need for anything
else—today's video conte
cluding the following main contents:
Part 1 looking back
on coffee-drinking habits
Part 2 ways of drinking coffee
lighter Part 3
cold brew coffee and brewing methods
Part 4 perspective
coffee as a wellness practice and its impact on health
Part 1
Looking back on coffee-drinking habits
First of all
let's be honest with each other
coffee is neither entirely
inconvenient nor entirely convenient
The inconvenient aspects are the most obvious
It's a stimulant—drinking it makes you
alert but being too
alert makes it hard to
sleep drink too much and your heart races
you feel nauseous and your hands shake
A gnawing discomfort
Not to mention some people experience
stomach heat acid reflux
and general unease
This is indeed true
especially for your aunt and uncle who are over fifty
But saying that doesn't mean coffee is
purely harmful—coffee
also has its benefits
There are days when you're so tired so sleepy that a cup makes all the difference
Drinking a small
amount at the right
time boosts mental clarity eases
work and helps
those with slightly
low blood pressure feel less weak
Someone feels a little down sips
a cup of sweetened coffee and
suddenly feels a bit better—like
giving themselves a
small treat of joy
Sometimes it's just a cheap
cup of coffee from a street
corner that soothes the soul filled
with antioxidants
It can support heart health and the
body but we should
also understand this
in moderation—don't just because it's
beneficial drink as much as possible
Too much of
anything becomes
harmful I'd like to share
a
few simple easy-to-apply tips
for daily life Part 2
Lighter ways to drink coffee
If you usually drink strong coffee
try diluting it slightly
meaning you add more water
o reduce the amount of coffee in a cup
Some people say
diluting it makes it weak and unpleasant to drink
True it may initially taste weak
But if I'm drinking it out of habit
for alertness for the aroma for the
comforting warmth then diluting it
still lets me enjoy that pleasure
but less prone to excessive stimulation
Many seniors tried it
after a while they found it easier to fall asleep
and their heart palpitations decreased
The stomach feels less irritated too
Then comes the main part
which many people are curious about
can you add anything to coffee
to make it more enjoyable to drink
Yes and often things very familiar
in our own kitchen The first
method is adding ginger a warming
and readily available ingredient
And many older people are also accustomed to using
these terms for a long time—some often feel cold
in their stomachs others get bloated and drinking black coffee quickly sets their stomach on fire
Yet a little ginger makes it feel much
more soothing Coffee sometimes leaves
me with a cold stomach or restless nerves but ginger has a warming nature
Help soothe and warm your stomach
It's very simple to prepare
Drink more black coffee
you can add a pinch of ginger powder to your cup
Stir well
If you prefer it sweeter add a bit of honey
But I’d just like to gently remind you
If you have high blood sugar
then please think twice before adding too much
And if you happen to have
traditional ginger honey or
warm ginger on hand just add a little ginger water to it
As long as it's to your taste no need to go overboard
If you're drinking packaged coffee with milk some people
might hesitate due to the ginger scent worried it'll be hard to drink But in reality
just a little goes a long way
Very little of it
produces a unique aroma
drink it warm start with a small amount increase if it suits you stop if not
the second cup is
enhanced with cinnamon
Cinnamon is fragrant and warm and when
mixed with coffee it produces a very
pleasant aroma some older relatives
have tried cinnamon coffee at a café
It's likely to understand why
cinnamon is so popular as it's believed
to aid in blood sugar metabolism
and support healthy blood fat levels
Helps keep the body warm and improves
circulation The preparation is
simple—just sprinkle
a little
cinnamon into your coffee cup and stir well
or if you have a cinnamon stick just
drop it into the cup and give it a
gentle stir to gradually release its
aroma—the amount is up to your taste
but I think we should start with a little bit
because too much can easily cause a burning sensation
The third method
is adding turmeric
Many people here enjoy drinking it
lightly golden coffee that’s
pleasing to the eye turmeric
naturally has a warming quality
commonly used to support the body
When feeling cold or wanting internal care
some say drinking
turmeric helps ease joint
discomfort and soothe
the stomach while others
claim it helps reduce bodily inflammation
I'm not confident about anything big
but I do notice that tea is the most
familiar and widely accepted drink
especially when consumed in moderate amounts
Follow this simple
method: after brewing
black coffee add a pinch of
turmeric stir well and if you can tolerate milk
add a little to make
it easier to drink
Turmeric has a distinct aroma and drinking
it plain can sometimes taste unusual The key
is to use just a little—enough to add
fragrance not overpowering
strength Method four
add conut oil or avocado
like oil coffee some
people
call this butter coffee oil
coffee consumed for energy
This approach works well for
some people especially those who
often skip breakfast or need
energy without wanting to eat much
Adding a little healthy fat
to your coffee makes it last
longer reduces hunger pangs
and prevents energy crashes
But I must be honest—this isn't
suitable for everyone Some people
feel bloated or nauseous after
drinking it So if
you'd like to try it
I'll try just a small amount stir it
well until dissolved
and drink slowly
And there's one
very important thing: if
I've had coffee with oil or butter
eating too many sweet starches is
limited because they bring both fat and
excessive sugar and flour making you
feel heavy and no
longer light and agile
By now you're probably wondering
which of these four methods should you choose
If you tend to have a sensitive
stomach or get bloated easily
avoid coffee or alcohol that irritates your gut
If you're in the mood for something warming try ginger—delicious and gently flavored perfect
for a change of pace while
still keeping you cozy
If you'd like to add a touch more try cinnamon
A little warmth and golden richness — if
it tastes unusual try
turmeric — ideal for
those who get hungry quickly want to stay
full longer or need a morning energy boost
Try adding a little conut oil or
butter but start with a small amount and
monitor how your body reacts And I’d
like to emphasize one
very important point
especially for relatives with high blood
sugar the thing that most undermines
coffee's benefits is
sugar many people say
coffee helps the body metabolize better
but if I add more sugar more condensed
milk and more sweet cream the benefit
also diminishes for
those with diabetes
or concerned about blood sugar levels
so it's best to limit sugary treats in
your coffee if you
crave sweetness just
a light touch will do or opt for the aromatic flavors of cinnamon and ginger
To curb the craving for sweetness
There's also another thing
the timing of drinking
Some elders drink coffee
after meals to aid digestion
but I've shared this before
the previous article it was mentioned that drinking coffee close to mealtime can make it harder for the body to absorb
certain nutrients so if you or
your loved ones need to drink
coffee while still wanting to
maintain proper nutrient absorption
To ease the burden on your body
space out your meals by about
thirty minutes to an hour—this
usually feels much
more comfortable
As for those with high blood sugar some
find drinking unsweetened coffee on an
empty stomach more comfortable than having
it after a meal but on an empty stomach
A weak stomach isn't suitable either
so I still come back to my original
point—what matters most is your own
body you try it you observe how it reacts
After drinking do you feel
palpitations nausea
stomach pain or
trouble sleeping If so reduce the amount
or change how you take it
Sometimes you don't need to quit entirely
—just reduce the intensity cut down on the
amount slow down your pace and try adding
something soothing like ginger or cinnamon
That's much better already
Dear friends
many of you still enjoy drinking coffee
every day but worry
Strong hot coffee that easily irritates the stomach
rapid heartbeat or loss of vitality
quitting altogether feels like a waste
but drinking it brings no peace of mind
In that case I'd like to share
a very gentle coffee brewing
method—less harshly bitter easier
to drink and lighter on the body
It's cold brew coffee also known as
cold brew
and the key advantage of cold brew
is that it doesn't use hot water
which means the coffee is less bitter
milder smoother in taste and
many people find it doesn't cause
stomach irritation or jitters
like hot-brewed coffee does
Part 3 cold brew coffee and
the proper brewing method
preparing the ingredients
you'll need strong Robusta
beans or Arabica coffee
coarse grind about the size
of sea salt common ratio
is 1 part coffee to 8–10
parts cold water for example
About 50g of coffee requires roughly
500ml of cold water the brewing
and steeping process
begins by adding
the ground coffee to the container
or rinse the jar clean then pour in cold water stir gently with a spoon
to evenly saturate the coffee grounds
and seal the container tightly
Cover with a clean
lid or cloth and place
in the refrigerator for fermentation
which should last between 12 and
24 hours if fermenting for less time
light and easy to drink if steeped
longer the coffee becomes richer in
flavor yet remains smooth never harsh
like hot-brewed
coffee filtered coffee
After the steeping process pour the coffee through a coffee filter or food-grade
paper filter to remove the grounds being
careful not to press down on the grounds
Don't press too hard as this can easily make the coffee bitter the filtered portion
is precisely the cold-brewed coffee
concentrate and this
is how it's best enjoyed
You can drink it straight add ice for a
cooler taste or mix with milk according
to your preference
if you have high blood
sugar I recommend limiting sugar intake
Can be drunk straight or with a splash of milk for easier consumption a few
small tips for delicious and enjoyable
coffee the grind
size is very important
If the grind is too fine the coffee
tends to be bitter if too coarse it
becomes weak Cold brew coffee concentrate
can be stored in the refrigerator
about 3 to 5 days
just pour out a small amount each time
from a natural perspective
cold brew coffee is lighter
less likely to cause discomfort
suitable for elderly relatives those with
sensitive stomachs or
prone to insomnia enjoyed
in moderation and sipped slowly for pleasure
coffee can still be a delightful part of life
A small daily pleasure not a
burden on health—grandchild hopes
this brewing method brings you
peace of mind when enjoying coffee
Maintaining
familiar habits while
gently and sustainably caring for
the body—Part 4: A macrobiotic
perspective on
coffee and health now
I’d like to respectfully add another
perspective on holistic health so that you
both can gain a more natural and sustainable
approach especially for kidney health
Kidney health thrives on
warmth consistency
and gentle
care it dislikes staying
up late and hates stress
and also dislike things that cause
the body to constantly
spike and crash
such as coffee consumed too strong in
excessive amounts or at the wrong time
can cause the body to enter a state of prolonged
excitement followed by
fatigue gradually disrupting
the normal rhythm leading to irregular heartbeats
making one prone to tiredness and coldness
Sleep is also restless and
when sleep is restless the
kidneys find it hard to recover
properly so if you dear ones
Still drinking coffee
I suggest doing so
in the spirit of macrobiotic living—only
in small amounts always warm sipped
slowly and with a
consistent daily routine
Drink only when
your body feels
alert not when you're utterly
exhausted and trying to force
yourself up through stimulation
The usual price is fatigue
afterward and to support your
kidneys naturally just remember
these three simple things
Keep your belly back and feet warm
eat in moderation avoid excessive
salt and sweetness and try to go
to bed a little
earlier if possible
coffee if it keeps your relatives awake
no matter how good it tastes you should cut back
because sleep is a crucial foundation
for allowing the kidneys to rest
In the end I just
want to gently remind you—coffee isn't the enemy it's simply
about not letting
your cup pull you
along but rather you staying in control of it
I drink in moderation and choose
a method that suits me sometimes
just adding a little ginger a
little cinnamon
a little turmeric
or diluted further reducing the sugar
that's already a difference—hope this
sharing helps ease your worries and
finds a way for you to enjoy coffee again
so deliciously tasty
light on the stomach
yet still sustaining long-term health
especially preserving warmth and endurance
