The method of juicing bitter melon is relatively simple. As long as we have a juicer, we can make it. Before making it, we cut the bitter melon into pieces, then put the bitter melon into the juicer, add a small amount of water and start juicing. Bitter melon juice is relatively bitter, so we can add some sugar to neutralize it. Drinking bitter melon juice properly can clear away heat, detoxify, and nourish the skin.

Effects of Bitter Melon

Clearing away heat and detoxifying

Bitter melon can relieve the heat in your heart and eliminate toxins from the body. The best way to eat bitter melon is to eat it cold. Eating bitter melon cold can preserve the vitamins contained in it very well. If stir-frying is used, these vitamins will be lost in large quantities during the process, and the oil content after stir-frying is relatively high. People will ingest more fat after eating it, and it will not have the effect of cooling down and reducing heat.

Skin care

Eating bitter melon regularly can enhance the vitality of the skin and make it tender and healthy. Mashing fresh bitter melon into juice or boiling it into a soup is a good auxiliary food therapy for liver fire, red eyes, stomach pain, and damp-heat dysentery. Mashing fresh bitter melon and applying it externally can treat carbuncles and furuncles. Children are prone to prickly heat in summer, so cut bitter melon into slices and rub it on the prickly heat on your body to help it heal soon. Boiling bitter melon in water or cooking it as a delicacy can dissipate heat and relieve summer heat.

Lowers blood sugar

Clam meat and bitter melon soup is an excellent product for lowering blood sugar. The crude extract of bitter melon contains insulin-like substances and has a significant blood sugar-lowering effect. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bitter melon is sweet, bitter and cold in nature, and can clear away heat, relieve restlessness and quench thirst; clam meat is sweet, salty and cold, and can clear away heat, nourish yin, quench thirst and promote diuresis. The combination of the two can clear away heat and nourish yin, and is suitable for patients with diabetes who have stomach yin deficiency and heat.

Nourishes blood and liver

Bitter melon tastes bitter, and is cold when raw, but warm when cooked. Eating it raw can clear away heat and reduce fire, relieve fever and relieve restlessness; eating it cooked can nourish blood and liver, moisten the spleen and tonify the kidneys, eliminate evil heat, relieve fatigue, clear the heart and improve eyesight, and replenish qi and strengthen yang. However, when eating bitter melon, you should also be careful not to damage the spleen and lung qi. Although the weather is hot in summer, people should not eat too much bitter food, and it is best to pair it with spicy food (such as chili, pepper, onion, garlic). This can avoid the bitterness entering the heart and help replenish the lung qi.
