Is Cabbage Alkaline
On the nature of cabbage
Or ask: "What is the nature of cabbage?" The opposite said: "The world's theory of physical properties, there is a saying of acid and alkali. However, in ancient times, I have never heard of this name. From the perspective of yin and yang and five elements, cabbage was born in the soil, grew longer than it was in the past, its color was green, it should be eastern wood, and its nature was calm but cooler."
Today it is called acid and alkali, and it is mostly based on the metabolism of the body after eating. After eating cabbage, the metabolism of the body is alkaline, so it is said that cabbage is alkaline. However, it is said that viewing the nature of matter from the scientific perspective of today is different from the rational interest of the past.
The ancients observed things, focusing on their qi, taste and shape. Cabbage is clear in qi, with a sweet and light taste, hugging each other in the shape of leaves, and has the appearance of convergence. According to the theory of the "Nei Jing", the sweet and light taste more enters the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach belong to the soil, and cabbage is cold in nature, which can slightly control the heat of the spleen and stomach.
Although it is called acid and alkali today, its physical properties are complex, not only acid and alkali. Cabbage, a daily vegetable, is not only based on acid and alkali. When people eat it, it can be combined with the spleen and stomach, and moisturize the organs. This is the work of cabbage, not limited to the nature of acid and alkali. Therefore, when it comes to the nature of cabbage, it should be in line with the principles of ancient and modern times, and it should be explained in detail.
