What are the effects and functions of millet?
Tanida Meng (advocate of natural cereal food) replied:

Millet is a common food crop, mainly planted in Asia and Africa. It is rich in nutrients, protein, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients. It is known as the "Queen of Oriental Grains" and has many functions in daily diet.

Lower cholesterol. Millet contains a steroid substance, which can effectively reduce the cholesterol level in the human body and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

Promote digestion. Millet contains high cellulose, which can absorb the residual water in the intestine and increase the volume of feces, thus softening feces and helping digestion and excretion.

Improve immunity. Millet contains calcium, magnesium, zinc and other trace elements and minerals, which can effectively improve human immunity and prevent infectious diseases and cancer.

Regulate blood sugar. Millet has low starch content, which can delay the absorption of sugar by human body, so it is more suitable for diabetic patients than other cereals.

Assist in losing weight. Millet is a low-calorie and high-fiber food, which can increase satiety, reduce the intake of high-calorie food, and help to lose weight and control weight.

Prevent anemia. Millet is rich in catechol, iron, potassium and other nutrients, especially vitamin B 1, which can help the human body promote blood circulation and prevent anemia.

Improve sleep. Millet contains a variety of amino acids, including tryptophan, which is a precursor of serotonin and helps to improve sleep quality.

In addition, millet can also regulate the stomach, remove bad breath and prevent oral ulcers. From the above aspects, millet, as a very healthy food, should be properly eaten in our daily diet in order to keep healthy and keep fit.
