Tomatoes, also known as tomatoes and persimmons, are attractive in shape, bright in color, sweet and sour in juice and rich in nutrition. They can not only be eaten raw to feed people, but also be cooked into various dishes, so they are called "wonderful flowers for both fruits and vegetables". Chinese medicine believes that tomatoes enter the liver and stomach meridians and are suitable for fundus hemorrhage, hepatitis, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and hypertension. According to the research of medical nutrition, tomatoes are rich in nutrition and high in content. It contains mineral elements such as protein, fat, sugar, vitamins (B 1, B2, C, PP), carotene, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, etc. It is also rich in pectin and cellulose. Pharmacological research shows that tomato has a good hypolipidemic effect, which is related to pectin, cellulose, vitamins (C, PP) and carotene. Animal experiments show that feeding tomato pectin can reduce the cholesterol content in serum and liver of rats fed with high cholesterol. It is also reported that because tomatoes are rich in cellulose, if tomatoes are eaten together with skin, they will consume more cellulose. Tomato cellulose can be excreted from the digestive tract after it is combined with biological salts in the body. Because biological salts in the body need cholesterol to supplement, with the excretion of biological salts in the body, cholesterol (TC) in the blood will decrease. Tomato has antihypertensive effect, which is related to potassium, vitamins (C, PP), lycopene and flavonoids. Tomatoes are rich in potassium. Every 100g of edible part contains potassium163mg and sodium only 5mg, and its K factor (potassium/sodium ratio) is 32.6, which greatly exceeds the effective value of antihypertensive value10. So tomatoes are high-quality and high-potassium antihypertensive foods. In application, it should be noted that because tomatoes are slightly cold, people with weak spleen and stomach and diarrhea in loose stool should not eat more; Because immature tomatoes contain a lot of lycopene, if eaten in excess in a short time, there will be adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness and salivation, so immature tomatoes should not be eaten raw.
☆ celery tastes sweet and bitter. Has the effects of calming liver, clearing away heat, expelling pathogenic wind, promoting diuresis, refreshing brain, moistening lung and relieving cough.
Celery, also known as "medicinal celery" and "Puqin", is the stem, leaves and whole grass of celery, a biennial herb in Umbelliferae/kloc-0. Celery has been cultivated in China for more than 2000 years, with high yield, easy planting and rich nutrition. It is deeply loved by people for its fragrant and spicy taste. Celery can not only be eaten, but also used as medicine. It used to be known as "medicinal celery". The medical and health care value of celery has been brilliantly discussed and recorded by China doctors in past dynasties. Chinese medicine believes that the stomach and liver enter the two meridians.
Modern nutrition research shows that celery is rich in nutrition, and the contents of protein, calcium and iron are 2 times, 20 times and 10 times higher than those of tomato, respectively. Moreover, the nutrients in celery leaves are higher than those in petioles 1 1, so even the tender leaves of celery should not be discarded. Celery contains apigenin, propyl bergamot, organic acids and volatile oil. Modern medical research shows that celery can reduce serum total cholesterol and blood pressure. Some people remove the roots of raw celery, wash it with cold water and juice it, and add the same amount of honey or syrup, 90 ml each time, three times a day, to treat hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Treatment 16 cases, effective 14 cases, the effective rate was 88%. In addition, 10 celery root was washed and mashed, and 10 jujube water was added for decoction, twice a day, for 15 ~ 20 days, to treat hypertension, coronary heart disease and cholesterol >: 2 1 case, 5.18 mmol. Some studies show that the hypotensive mechanism is mainly caused by chemoreceptors in aorta.
Cold celery has the functions of dredging blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, expelling wind and improving eyesight, refreshing the brain and promoting diuresis, and protecting capillaries. It is the best vegetable for adjuvant treatment of patients with hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and hypertension. Celery can be stir-fried or made into porridge, soup, stuffing, drinks and so on. , all have different tastes.
☆ shepherd's purse shepherd's purse is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and has the effects of harmonizing spleen and promoting diuresis, stopping bleeding and improving eyesight, dispersing lung qi and resolving phlegm, warming middle warmer and promoting qi circulation.
Shepherd's shepherd's purse, also known as fragrant shepherd's purse, has the reputation of picking and protecting lettuce in Qingming, and is the whole grass with roots of shepherd's purse, an annual or biennial herb in Cruciferae. Shepherd's purse originated in China, and later spread all over the temperate regions of the world. Shepherd's purse Shepherd's purse blooms in spring with small white flowers, short pods and inverted triangles, and many seeds. The tender branches of shepherd's purse are used as vegetables, and the whole grass with flowers and fruits can be used as medicine, which has high medicinal and health care value. Chinese medicine believes that shepherd's purse enters the lung, heart, liver and kidney meridians, which is a good product for adjuvant treatment of many diseases. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, there is a folk custom of "boiled eggs with shepherd's purse on March 3". It is said that the washed shepherd's purse and the eggs are cooked together, and the eggshells are crushed after the eggs are cooked, and then the soup is browned with low heat, and a little refined salt is added to mix well to clear the head and prevent colds and boils in summer. So someone made up the jingle "March 3rd, shepherd's purse wins the pill".
Modern medical research shows that shepherd's purse contains many nutrients, many of which are higher than carrots, Chinese cabbage and kidney beans. Shepherd's purse is also rich in dietary fiber, and contains vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin E, nicotinic acid, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium and other nutrients. Among them, the calcium content is very high, and the calcium content per100g of fresh shepherd's purse can be as high as 294mg. Coupled with rich cellulose, it not only has a good therapeutic effect on hypertension, but also has a gratifying effect on hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.
With the improvement of cultivation techniques, people can eat not only wild shepherd's purse, but also shepherd's purse in autumn and winter. There are many ways to eat shepherd's purse, such as cooking, soup, cold salad, soup, stuffing and so on. It tastes soft and comfortable, tastes delicious, and has an unusual fragrance, making it a good vegetable for urban and rural residents. If it can be eaten all year round, it plays an important role in preventing and treating "rich diseases" such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
☆ Purslane is shabby, which has the functions of clearing away heat, preventing mildew, dispersing blood, reducing swelling, removing fat and lowering blood pressure.
Portulaca oleracea, also known as Equisetum, Elegance, etc. It is a kind of wild vegetable and a good medicinal health care product. Chinese medicine believes that Portulaca oleracea belongs to the large intestine and liver meridian, and is suitable for night blindness, gastrointestinal infection, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and so on. Modern nutritional research shows that Portulaca oleracea contains a lot of active substances such as norepinephrine and dopamine, a variety of amino acids, protein and a small amount of fat, as well as a variety of potassium salts, vitamins and inorganic elements. Epidemiological investigation shows that the incidence of hyperlipidemia, heart disease and cancer in Mediterranean residents is significantly lower than that in other regions because they often eat purslane. The low incidence of various heart diseases in France is also related to their love to mix wild purslane and its products in salads. In our country, it has been said for thousands of years that purslane is an "everlasting grass", which is also very reasonable. American scientists have found that purslane is rich in ω-3 fatty acids (ω-fatty acids), which may inhibit the production of serum cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG), which is of great significance for maintaining the heart, improving the disorder of arterial lipid metabolism and preventing fibrous changes. It has also been pointed out that eating Portulaca oleracea regularly and taking omega-3 fatty acids from it can prevent platelet aggregation, coronary artery spasm and thrombosis, so it can effectively prevent and treat atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.
☆ Alfalfa tastes bitter and flat, and has the effects of clearing heat and promoting diuresis, nourishing blood and relieving asthma, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals.
Alfalfa, also known as grass head and cauliflower, is a leguminous plant, which is divided into purple alfalfa and south alfalfa. It is 1 annual or perennial herb. Alfalfa can not only be eaten, but also used as medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that alfalfa, the meridian of spleen and stomach, has been attached great importance to the medicinal and health care value of alfalfa in all dynasties in China. Meng Wei, a famous dietotherapy scientist in the Tang Dynasty, thought that "alfalfa benefits the five internal organs and washes away the evil between the spleen and stomach, and all evils are hot and toxic." "Rihuazi Materia Medica" also records that alfalfa can "remove abdominal evil, warm the spleen and stomach, and open the small intestine". Modern nutrition research shows that alfalfa contains more comprehensive nutrients, such as protein, vitamins (vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin B 12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, vitamin E, etc. ) and carotene. Alfalfa contains saponins, daidzein and other biochemical substances, and its stems and leaves are rich in pectin acid. Southern alfalfa is rich in nutrients, including carotene, vitamin C, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and so on. For example, every 100g alfalfa contains 2.64mg of carotene, 497mg of potassium, 5.8mg of sodium, 7 13mg of calcium, 9.7mg of iron, 2.0 1mg of zinc and 8.53mg of selenium, and is rich in plant fiber and pectin. The content of these nutrients is unmatched by other vegetables.
Alfalfa is not only nutritious, but also has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on hyperlipidemia, hypertension and coronary heart disease. A large number of animal experiments have proved that alfalfa has a good preventive effect on hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis caused by animal feed with high fat and cholesterol. Clinically, some patients with hypercholesterolemia can significantly lower their cholesterol after taking processed alfalfa seeds. Its lipid-lowering mechanism may be related to the fact that alfalfa contains more cellulose, especially a substance called saponin. Modern medical research has also confirmed that saponins can combine with cholic acid, a metabolite of cholesterol, which is beneficial to the excretion of cholesterol.
☆ The role of cucumber in reducing weight and regulating lipid metabolism.
Cucumber is a vegetable that people like to eat all year round because it tastes crisp and delicious. Cucumber contains a lot of protein, vitamin B, vitamin C, various trace elements and a lot of cellulose. Because cellulose can promote the discharge of food residues from the intestine and reduce the absorption of cholesterol. In addition, cucumber also contains a chemical called propanol diacid, which can inhibit the conversion of sugar into fat in the body. It is especially suitable for obese and overweight patients with hyperlipidemia. Therefore, eating cucumbers often, especially raw cucumbers, is good for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease.
☆ Mushrooms are sweet and cool, benefiting the stomach, resolving phlegm and regulating qi.
Mushroom is a large fungus, which is the fruiting body, cap and stalk of Agaricus bisporus, also known as meat mushroom. Originally wild, it is now widely planted. Mushrooms have been eaten in China 1400 years. Mushrooms are plump, tender and delicious, and they are all delicious when fried or boiled in soup. They are known as "natural plant meat".
There are more than 600 kinds of mushrooms in the world, of which China accounts for more than half. The famous mushrooms at home and abroad are Tricholoma, Tricholoma, White Mushroom, Tricholoma, and Fungal Mushroom. Physicians in past dynasties in China have attached great importance to the medical and health care value of mushrooms. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mushrooms enter the stomach meridian and lung meridian, and modern nutrition research also proves that mushrooms are rich in nutrition. Take the Lentinus edodes in Gannan, Gansu as an example (dry product). Every100g contains protein 2 1 g, dietary fiber 2 1 g, carotene 1640 μ g and nicotinic acid 30.7 mg, with high potassium content. The fat content is only 4.6 grams, and the main component is linoleic acid. Therefore, mushrooms have good lipid-lowering and health-care effects. According to Dr. Suzuki of Japan, letting the elderly eat 90 grams of fresh mushrooms or 9 grams of dried mushrooms for 7 consecutive days can reduce serum cholesterol by 6% ~ 12% on average. Modern research shows that dietary fiber has a good lipid-lowering effect, and the proportion of pure natural lignin in dietary fiber contained in mushrooms is very high. In addition, mushrooms are famous high-potassium foods, so mushrooms can not only reduce blood fat, but also have special functions of lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar and losing weight. Therefore, mushrooms are indispensable vegetables for hyperlipidemia in the diet. But it must be remembered that poisonous mushrooms and rotten mushrooms must not be eaten, because poisonous mushroom poisoning can be fatal.
☆ Lentinus edodes is flat and sweet, and has the functions of invigorating qi, tonifying deficiency, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach, strengthening body, resisting cancer, reducing blood fat and weight, lowering blood pressure and blood sugar.
Lentinus edodes, also known as Xinxiang, Xiang Jun, Xiangzi and Lentinus edodes. It is rich in nutrition, delicious in taste and has high health care value, so it has the reputation of "queen of mushrooms", "queen of plants" and "king of dried vegetables", and its dietotherapy and health care function has always been valued by doctors in past dynasties. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mushrooms entering the stomach and liver meridian are suitable for the elderly, the weak, anemia, leukopenia, acute and chronic hepatitis, fatty liver, cancer, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, obesity and diabetes. According to the research of modern medical nutrition, Lentinus edodes contains many kinds and high contents of nutrients, including protein (containing many amino acids, but 7 of them are essential for human body), sugar, cellulose, fat (more than 80% of fatty acids are linoleic acid), vitamins (A 1, B 1, B2, D), nicotinic acid, choline and minerals. The lipid-lowering and cholesterol-lowering effects of Lentinus edodes are not only related to its vitamin A, nicotinic acid, linoleic acid and various amino acids, but also related to its rich nucleic acids such as cellulose, Lentinus edodes peptide, 2R- hydroxy -4- butyric acid and Lentinus edodes purine. Mushrooms are rich in cellulose, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, not only reduce the absorption of cholesterol (Tc) in the intestine, but also prevent constipation. Clinical observation shows that after taking mushroom peptide 130 ~ 150 mg and 15 weeks daily, the triglyceride (TG), phospholipid, total lipid and non-fat fatty acid all decreased, although the blood lipid increased slightly after stopping the drug. Lentinus edodes contains nucleic acid substances such as Lentinus edodes purine, which can dissolve cholesterol and effectively promote the dissolution and excretion of excess cholesterol in the body. According to domestic scholars, shiitake mushrooms contain some lipid-lowering components with special therapeutic effects, which may belong to nucleic acids, which can reduce the cholesterol content in serum and liver of experimental animals and prevent lipid deposition on arterial wall and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. The cholesterol-lowering effect of individual components is ten times stronger than that of the effective lipid-lowering drug "Antoine". Lentinus edodes is rich in potassium, with 464 mg of potassium per 100g edible part, but only 1 1.2 mg of sodium, and its K factor (ratio of potassium to sodium) is greater than 4 1, which greatly exceeds the effective antihypertensive threshold of10. Therefore, Lentinus edodes is a kind of high-quality antihypertensive food with high potassium content. However, shiitake mushrooms are sticky, and should be used with caution if the spleen and stomach are deficient in cold and the middle energizer is damp. And because mushrooms are moving things, people with intractable skin itching should not use them.
☆ Auricularia auricula is flat and sweet, and has the effects of invigorating qi, improving intelligence, nourishing and strengthening, enriching blood, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, nourishing stomach and moistening intestines.
Auricularia auricula, commonly known as Auricularia auricula, is the fruiting body of auriculariaceae plants. Most of them are born on rotten wood of broad-leaved trees such as oak, elm, alder, willow, poplar and mulberry. It can also be used for artificial cultivation of hardwood and sawdust. Auricularia auricula likes warm and humid, and it is produced all over China.
Traditional Chinese medicine attached great importance to the medicinal and health care value of auricularia auricula. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that auricularia auricula is often used in the adjuvant treatment of syndromes such as deficiency of both qi and yin and dryness and heat of lung. Modern nutritional research also shows that Auricularia auricula is rich in protein, fat, sugar, carotene, vitamin B 1-, vitamin B2, vitamin E, nicotinic acid, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, selenium and other nutrients. In particular, Auricularia auricula contains high dietary fiber, which can reach 29.9 grams per 100 gram of Auricularia auricula (dried product). In addition, Auricularia auricula contains a high amount of potassium, which can be as high as 757 mg per 100 g dry product, so it is a high-quality and high-potassium food. High cellulose can promote the excretion of intestinal cholesterol, and rich vitamins, trace elements and high potassium have a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease. Therefore, regular consumption of auricularia auricula has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on patients with hyperlipidemia complicated with coronary heart disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis.
It is reported that some people's blood coagulability decreased obviously after eating Mapo Tofu, a famous China dish containing auricularia auricula. According to the analysis, it may be related to the inhibition of platelet aggregation by a water-soluble low molecular substance contained in auricularia auricula. Therefore, it has been suggested that patients with hemoptysis, hematemesis, hematochezia and large-scale injury and menstruating women should not eat auricularia for the time being.
☆ Onions are flat and sweet. Has the effects of clearing away heat, removing blood stasis, refreshing, reducing blood fat, blood pressure and blood sugar.
Onion, also known as onion, red onion, jade onion, onion, onion and so on. There are three varieties of red skin, white skin and yellow skin, which are both edible and medicinal. European and American countries regard it as "the queen of vegetables" and think it is a good health care and anti-aging vegetable, and it is deeply loved by people because of its rich and tangy aroma, which makes the ingredients of cooking dishes unique. Chinese medicine believes that onion, lung and stomach meridian, is suitable for abdominal pain, dyspepsia, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and so on. Modern medical nutrition research holds that onion is rich in nutrition, including protein, sugar and a little fat, vitamins (B 1, B2, c), carotene and nicotinic acid, mineral elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese and copper, volatile oil and other odorous substances such as mercaptan, dimethyl disulfide, diallyl sulfur and allyl. Medical pharmacology and clinical research have proved that 60 grams of fried onion can inhibit the increase of plasma cholesterol (TC) caused by high-fat diet in healthy men. Onion oil can reduce cholesterol in patients with hyperlipidemia and is beneficial to improve arteriosclerosis; Clinically, onion and its preparation are superior to antihyperlipidemic drug antisense amine in preventing and treating hyperlipidemia. Therefore, onion and its preparation are good medicines for treating hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and hypertension. The lipid-lowering and cholesterol-lowering effects of onion are closely related to its sulfur-containing substances diallyl sulfide, allyl disulfide, sulfur-containing amino acids, alliin, onion oil and prostaglandin A. However, onion contains almost no fat, carotene and vitamin C. The antihypertensive effect of onion is related to its prostaglandin A 1 and rich mineral elements such as potassium, calcium and zinc, among which the K factor (potassium/sodium ratio) is greater than 33, so onion. The hypoglycemic effect of onion is related to its thiourea substances.
☆ Garlic is pungent and warm, and has the effects of warming and resolving stagnation, detoxifying and killing insects.
Garlic, also known as Hu garlic and garlic head, is the bulb of garlic, a perennial herb in Liliaceae. Chinese medicine believes that garlic enters the spleen, stomach and lungs.
According to modern scientific research data, garlic is rich in nutrients, of which protein and volatile oil account for about 0.2%. Volatile oil contains a variety of thioether compounds, organic compounds such as allicin, allicin and allithiamine, and a variety of γ -glutamyl peptides, which are indispensable substances for human physiological metabolism. In addition, garlic is low in fat but high in potassium, which is a high-potassium food and rich in trace elements such as selenium.
Medical research has found that garlic and garlic preparations can effectively reduce serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and are one of the important foods to prevent and treat atherosclerosis. It has been observed that taking fresh garlic juice or essential oil equivalent to 50 grams of garlic every day can prevent the increase of serum total cholesterol level caused by diet. Animal experiments also suggest that garlic oil can effectively resist the increase of blood lipid and keep cholesterol, triglyceride and total liver fat in serum, liver and kidney within normal range. Another study shows that the water-soluble extract of garlic can significantly reduce the total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in high-fat experimental animals. Old garlic can effectively prevent the increase of serum total cholesterol level in rabbits caused by high cholesterol diet, and new garlic can delay the occurrence of fatty liver.
It has been reported that garlic juice or garlic oil can not only increase high density lipoprotein (HDL), but also decrease low density lipoprotein (LDL). It has been pointed out that eating some raw garlic while eating high-fat food can not only relieve boredom, but also help prevent the sudden rise of blood lipids. A professor in Germany asked patients with hyperlipidemia to take orally capsules containing 5 grams of garlic oil. As a result, the serum total cholesterol content of the subjects decreased significantly. According to the recent medical research data, a 124 allyl methyl trisulfide compound can be isolated from garlic essential oil, which has a strong platelet inhibitory effect and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of hypertension and coronary heart disease with hyperlipidemia.
☆ Kelp is cold, which has the effects of eliminating phlegm, softening and hardening, promoting diuresis to reduce swelling, prolonging cancer life, removing fat and lowering blood pressure.
Kelp, a kind of Chinese medicine called kelp, is both edible and medicinal. It has the reputation of "exotic dishes on the sea", "longevity dishes" and "iodine-containing champion", which has been valued by doctors in past dynasties. Chinese medicine believes that kelp, the meridian of human liver and kidney, is suitable for goiter, night blindness, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension and obesity. Modern medical nutrition research believes that kelp is rich in nutrition, mainly including crude fiber, crude protein, polysaccharide, vitamins and mineral elements, among which kelp polysaccharide contains alginic acid, kelp polysaccharide, mannitol, fucosterol, ryegrass lactone, pentosan, galactose, galacturonic acid, arabinose, xylose and so on. Among them, kelp vitamins include carotene (provitamin A), nicotinic acid and vitamin B6544.
Modern medical pharmacology research believes that taurine rich in kelp can reduce blood lipid and blood pressure, enhance the toughness of microvessels and inhibit atherosclerosis, so it has a protective effect on arterial blood vessels; Kelp contains no fat, but cellulose, alginic acid, alginic acid and laminin can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol and promote its excretion. It has been reported that laminin, brown algae starch and laminin polysaccharide have good lipid-lowering and anticoagulant effects after sulfonation, which have been used in the clinical treatment of hyperlipidemia and achieved certain results. Some scholars believe that if people often mix some kelp in their diet, the accumulation of fat in the body tends to subcutaneous and muscle tissues, but rarely accumulates in the heart, blood vessels and intestinal mucosa, and the cholesterol (TC) content in the blood is also significantly reduced, so it is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. It can be seen that people with hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease will benefit greatly from eating fungus foods such as kelp, brown algae and laver. However, kelp is cold, and people with spleen and stomach deficiency and damp heat should use it with caution.
☆ Porphyra is cold, sweet and salty, and has the functions of clearing heat and promoting diuresis, resolving phlegm and softening hardness, tonifying kidney and nourishing heart, eliminating fat and lowering blood pressure.
Porphyra, also known as paper dish, sokkai dish, lighthouse dish, etc. There are many species, including Porphyra longissima, Porphyra rotundifolia, Porphyra haitanensis, Porphyra marginal, Porphyra green and Porphyra striata. Porphyra is called "the pride of rocks", which is both food and medicine. Because of its delicious, refreshing and healthy value, it has always been respected and favored by people and is known as "one of the precious seafood". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that laver enters the kidney and bladder meridian and is suitable for scrofula, goiter, lymphadenopathy, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, lobular hyperplasia of breast, cancer and so on. Modern medical nutrition research believes that laver is rich in nutrients, including protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and mineral elements, among which protein is high, close to soybean, and easy to be digested and absorbed by human body. Its fat content is not high, and it mainly contains unsaturated fatty acids and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), so it has the functions of lowering cholesterol and preventing thrombosis, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and obesity. It contains carotene, nicotinic acid, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin C and so on. Among them, the carotene content is as high as per 100 g laver 1370 mg, which can protect blood vessels well. Porphyra is rich in iodine, calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. In particular, zinc supplementation with laver can change and improve the ratio of zinc to cadmium, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of hypertension. However, laver is cold and the spleen and stomach are weak, so it should be used with caution or less.
☆ Bamboo shoots are slightly cold and sweet, and have the functions of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, resolving phlegm and reducing fat, and resisting cancer.
Bamboo shoots are divided into winter bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots (hairy bamboo shoots), whip bamboo shoots, insect bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots. They are delicious and nutritious, and have been regarded as "treasures in vegetables" since ancient times. Chinese medicine believes that bamboo shoots enter the lung and kidney meridians and are suitable for cough and asthma, edema, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and obesity. Modern medical nutrition research holds that bamboo shoots are rich in carotene, vitamins (B 1, B2, C), calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and other mineral elements besides plant protein (including 16 amino acids), fat and sugar, and bamboo shoots are also rich in cellulose. Because bamboo shoots are low-fat, low-sugar and high-cellulose foods, they can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, reduce fat and weight, and prevent constipation. However, due to the slight cold of bamboo shoots, spleen and stomach weakness, diarrhea and loose stool should not be used; Because of the high content of crude fiber and insoluble calcium oxalate in bamboo shoots, it is forbidden for patients with severe digestive tract ulcer, esophageal varices, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and urinary calculi.
☆ Wax gourd is cool, sweet, light, diuretic, expectorant, heat-clearing and detoxicating.
Winter melon is also known as white melon, white melon, pillow melon, east melon, watermelon and so on. Enter lung, large intestine and bladder meridian. It is suitable for edema, fullness, beriberi, cough and asthma, summer heat, boredom and diarrhea. It can be decocted, simmered or mashed, and can also be made into medicated diet. Wax gourd contains sugar, crude fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins. Every100g of wax gourd contains 46 kilojoules (1 1 kcal), 0.4g of protein, 0.2g of fat and 0.9g of sugar. Because of its high water content and low calorie, wax gourd can not only lose weight, but also reduce blood cholesterol and promote body fat consumption. Because of the diuretic effect of wax gourd, it can also eliminate excessive water accumulated in the body, so wax gourd is especially beneficial to middle-aged and elderly people and obese people.
☆ Amorphophallus konjac is cold and pungent. Has repercussive, detoxicating, fat removing, weight reducing, appetizing, and anticancer effects.
Amorphophallus konjac, also known as Amorphophallus konjac, ghost head, snake grass, flower connecting rod, etc. , is a kind of medicine and food. Chinese medicine believes that entering the spleen and stomach and liver meridian is suitable for cancer, scabies, hyperlipidemia, obesity, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and so on. Modern nutrition research has proved that it contains 55% ~ 60% glucomannan (glucomannan for short), 35% starch and 2% ~ 4% protein. Its crude protein contains 17 amino acids (almost all amino acids necessary for human body), and 49.8% of its fat is linoleic acid, which is rich in cellulose. Therefore, konjac is a kind of natural health food with high fiber, low fat and low heat energy, which is favored by people at home and abroad. It is pointed out that glucomannan contained in konjac can not be digested and absorbed by amylase in human saliva and pancreatic juice, so konjac food not only has satiety, but also does not produce too much calories, which is especially helpful for reducing fat, losing weight and bodybuilding. The gel contained in konjac is a special dietary fiber. After it enters the human intestine, it can form semi-permeable membranes with different sizes and calibers and adhere to the intestinal wall, thus preventing harmful substances, especially carcinogens, from invading from the intestinal wall and preventing lipids such as cholesterol from being absorbed from the intestinal wall, so it has the functions of resisting cancer and reducing blood fat.
