Eating sweet potato leaves often has the functions of expelling toxins from the body, improving immunity, preventing anemia and enhancing vision. In addition, sweet potato leaves are also rich in potassium, which helps to control blood pressure and prevent hypertension.
Sweet potato leaves are best not to be eaten with eggs, green peppers and persimmons.
Frozen tofu: Fresh tofu contains a lot of water, in which water-soluble nutrients, such as minerals and vitamins, are easily lost with the exudation of juice. Frozen tofu can "lock" juice in fresh tofu and retain water-soluble nutrients. There is no need to worry about the loss of nutrients during thawing. We only need to stew tofu and vegetables together before thawing, which can prevent nutrients from oozing out with the juice. There are also nutrients such as flavonoids and lecithin contained in fresh tofu that will not be reduced due to freezing. More importantly, frozen tofu will produce an acidic substance that dissolves fat. Eating frozen tofu regularly can achieve the effect of eliminating fat and excreting weight.
Tofu is best not to be eaten with foods with particularly high oxalic acid content, such as spinach, bamboo shoots, amaranth and water bamboo. Tofu should not be eaten with honey or citrus fruits.
