Compared with the white flour and rice we usually eat, coarse grains mainly include corn, millet, purple rice, sorghum, oats, buckwheat, wheat bran and various dried beans, such as soybeans, mung beans, red beans and mung beans.

Coarse grains are rich in insoluble cellulose, which is beneficial to ensure the normal operation of digestive system. Together with soluble fiber, it reduces the concentration of low-density cholesterol and triglyceride in blood; Increase the residence time of food in the stomach, delay the speed of glucose absorption after meals, and reduce the risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Medical research also shows that cellulose helps to resist many diseases such as gastric cancer, intestinal cancer, breast cancer and ulcerative enteritis. But for coarse grains, we should not eat too much, because excessive consumption of coarse grains also has disadvantages.

Take people aged 25-35 as an example. If you eat too much "coarse grains", it will affect the absorption of protein, inorganic salts and some trace elements by human body functions, and even affect the reproductive capacity of human body.

The disadvantages of excessive consumption of coarse grains

1. Eating too much coarse grains will affect digestion. Excessive cellulose can lead to acute symptoms such as intestinal obstruction and dehydration.

2. Eating coarse grains for a long time will also affect absorption, so that the human body lacks many basic nutrients. The so-called "delicious face" is a typical manifestation of malnutrition caused by eating too much cellulose.

3. For those "special" people who need a lot of nutrition, the harm caused by excessive consumption of coarse grains is the most obvious, including pregnant and lactating women and growing teenagers.

4. Cellulose can also interfere with drug absorption. It can reduce the efficacy of some hypolipidemic drugs and antipsychotic drugs.

Three ways to eat coarse grains correctly

1. Eat coarse grains and drink plenty of water in time. The cellulose in coarse grains needs sufficient water as the backing to ensure the normal operation of the intestine. Generally, if you eat 1 times cellulose, you should drink 1 times more water.

2. Eating coarse grains step by step and suddenly increasing or decreasing the consumption of coarse grains will cause intestinal reaction. For people who usually focus on meat, in order to help the intestines adapt and increase the intake of coarse grains, it is necessary to step by step and not rush.

3. Eat coarse grains with meat dishes. When we make food every day, we should not only consider our own tastes and hobbies, but also consider the combination of meat and vegetables and a balanced diet. The daily intake of coarse grains should be 30 ~ 60 grams, but it should also be adjusted according to personal conditions.

There is no doubt that coarse grains usually taste worse than flour and rice, which is one of the main reasons why people avoid roughness and strive for perfection. In addition, coarse grains with poor taste remind many people of that time of poverty and even hunger, and the unpleasant experiences in those years. So it is not surprising that few people really like to eat coarse grains. Nutrition and health care are the main driving forces for people to choose and pay attention to coarse grains.

Do people who eat white rice, delicacies, meat and fish need to clean their stomachs every day? Eating coarse grains can make your stomach healthier and your appetite stronger. There is an old saying that "five grains are abundant", which means that coarse grains and flour and rice are rich in nutrition, and eating them together is beneficial to health. We know that different kinds of cereals have different nutritional values. Oats are rich in protein. Millet is rich in tryptophan and carotene; Beans are rich in high-quality protein; Sorghum is rich in fatty acids and iron; Potatoes contain carotene and vitamin C.

★ Disease prevention: At the same time, many coarse grains also have medicinal value. For example, corn is recognized as the "golden crop" in the world, and its cellulose is 4- 10 times higher than that of polished rice and refined flour. Cellulose can accelerate intestinal peristalsis, eliminate the factors of colorectal cancer, reduce cholesterol absorption and prevent coronary heart disease. Mung beans are sweet and cold, and have the functions of diuresis, detumescence, neutralization and detoxification, cooling and quenching thirst; Buckwheat contains chlorophyll and rutin that other grains do not have. The vitamin B 1 and B2 in buckwheat are twice as high as those in wheat, and niacin is 3-4 times as high. Nicotinic acid and rutin contained in buckwheat are drugs for treating hypertension. Regular consumption of buckwheat also has a certain effect on diabetes.

Fresh brown rice is more beneficial to health than polished rice, because the more refined the grain, the more vitamins, protein and cellulose are lost. Although dietary fiber in coarse grains can not be digested and utilized by human body, it can ventilate and moisten intestines, clean up waste and promote food residues to be excreted as soon as possible.

★ Weight loss: Coarse grains also have the function of weight loss, just like corn, which also contains a lot of magnesium. Magnesium can strengthen the peristalsis of intestinal wall and promote the excretion of waste in the body, which is very beneficial to lose weight. When the corn is ripe, the tassel on the ear has diuretic effect, which is also beneficial to lose weight. We can make corn soup into tea, or corn into tortillas, tortillas and so on. Puffed popcorn has a large volume, which can eliminate people's hunger after eating, but its calorie content is very low after eating, so it is a green food to lose weight.
