Is it suitable for women to drink brown sugar or white sugar?

BY Berton Gladstone 2020-04-27

  Chinese people believe that brown sugar has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, dispelling wind and dispelling cold, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Many women drink brown sugar and ginger water when menstruation is coming. Therefore, the market has appeared to add ginger extract and black tea. Extracts and products with motherwort extract can be drunk with hot water, which is very convenient. In addition, brown sugar is also suitable for use in some darker and thicker sweets or snacks, such as coffee milk, red date soy milk, jujube cake, millet hair cake and purple rice cake, coffee cake, etc.

  White sugar contains almost no sugar except sucrose Other ingredients have low nutritional value; brown sugar is unpurified raw sugar, containing various minerals from sugar cane, such as calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, etc. The nutritional value is significantly higher than white sugar. A tablespoon (15 grams) of brown sugar contains 70 milligrams of calcium, which is equivalent to half a piece of tofu; iron contains more than half of the recommended daily intake. Chinese medicine health experts believe that brown sugar is beneficial to women''s physiological health, can improve the symptoms of amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea, and relieve the fatigue caused by the lack of iron in the body. It is a wise choice to use it instead of sugar. However, it is sugar after all, and it also quickly raises blood sugar, so people who need to control their weight, and those who already need to control blood sugar, still have strict limits.
