2. Clear the throat

The Chinese Pharmacopoeia records that Luo Han Guo "clears the throat and improves voice", and is especially suitable for people who talk a lot, such as teachers, actors, announcers, singers, and salespeople. If you have symptoms such as dry and itchy throat, or throat inflammation, drink about one-third of a monk fruit mixed with boiling water every day. If you persist for about 10 days, your throat will be in good condition. Patients with chronic pharyngitis can also drink 1/10 of a monk fruit tea every day to maintain their throat.

3. Clear the lungs and protect the liver

Monk fruit belongs to the lung and large intestine meridians. People who smoke for a long time, drink frequently, or stay indoors for a long time without breathing fresh air outside can drink Monk fruit tea to clean and maintain the lungs.

4. Fat loss and weight loss

Monk fruit is rich in crude fiber. Drinking monk fruit tea can stimulate gastrointestinal motility, promote digestion, speed up the excretion of waste in the body, avoid constipation and subcutaneous fat accumulation, and help lose weight.

5. Lowers blood sugar

The sweetness of the sweet substances in monk fruit is about 300 times that of sucrose, but it does not produce calories. Therefore, it is very suitable for people with diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, etc. who should not eat sugar. This sweet substance is a triterpene compound and also has certain anti-cancer effects. In addition, the glycosides in monk fruit also have the effect of lowering blood sugar. At the same time, the dietary fiber contained in monk fruit can improve carbohydrate metabolism and is beneficial for diabetic patients to control blood sugar.

No kind of food can be perfect, and monk fruit is no exception. Therefore, monk fruit soaked in water cannot be drunk casually. Drinking it incorrectly will not only have no benefits, but may also cause harm to the body.
