Konjac with low calorie and high fiber can increase satiety and promote defecation.
Wang Jinkun, president of the International Society of Health and Nutrition and professor of the Department of Nutrition at Sun Yat-sen Medical University, said that konjac which tastes like a Q-bomb actually comes from Araceae. Amorphophallus konjac bulbs are generally ground into powder, heated and solidified with alkali, and then dealkalized with a lot of water.
From the point of view of nutrition, every 100 gram of konjac contains 97 grams of water, and the remaining 3 grams are dietary fiber, with only 20 calories. Moreover, glucomannan, the main component of konjac, is a polysaccharide combined with glucose and mannose, which belongs to water-soluble dietary fiber and has the characteristics of being difficult to be absorbed and utilized by human body.
In addition, its water absorption is strong, which can be faster than intestinal expansion. Proper intake is really helpful to improve satiety, intestinal peristalsis and promote defecation. For friends who need to lose weight, but can't help but want to eat, it is really a pretty good low-calorie ingredient.
Replace rice with rice? Beware that insufficient sugar intake affects health.
Although eating konjac in moderation helps to improve satiety and reduce calorie intake. However, it is worth noting that if the people are too extreme, they will completely replace the staple foods such as white rice, noodles and bread; I don't eat potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other whole grain root foods in moderation, for fear that my sugar (carbohydrate) intake is insufficient.
For a long time, fear will affect the hematopoietic function of human blood cells, make brain cells and optic nerve unable to function normally under the condition of insufficient energy, and further cause dizziness, mental fatigue, inattention, blurred vision and other uncomfortable reactions, and its seriousness cannot be underestimated.
Don't eat wrong with konjac. Expert: Replace two staple foods at most.
Professor Wang Jinkun suggested that if people want to improve satiety and reduce calorie intake by eating konjac, they should not only remember the new version of the fan-shaped daily dietary guide, but also fully consume six kinds of foods to maintain a balanced nutrition. More importantly, the maximum three meals a day can only be 1 ~ 2 meals. Konjac can replace staple food, and at least one meal can fully absorb natural whole grain root foods rich in minerals and essential vitamins, such as brown rice, purple rice, white rice, sweet potato, corn, etc., which is the only way to successfully lose weight and consolidate health.
In addition, Professor Wang Jinkun also reminded that if you want to lose weight successfully, you can't just diet or eat a single food in diet adjustment. For example, the protein slimming method, which is popular among the people, does not eat starch, but only eats meat. Although I did lose weight quickly in a short time, it was quite effective. However, in the case of unbalanced nutrition, it may lead to long-term problems in the body's metabolism and faster weight gain. The burning of human body fat needs the assistance of starch (sugar). If the sugar intake is insufficient, it will not only help to reduce body fat, but also make you feel tired and weak in the process of losing weight. Don't be careless
If people really want to improve satiety and reduce calorie intake by eating konjac, it should be noted that they can only eat 1 ~ 2 meals a day at most, and use konjac instead of staple food.
