Eating more stalks helps to lose weight? Nutritionist: The key is that crude fiber can increase satiety and relieve constipation!
For Asians who love food, are very particular about the taste of food and always spend a lot of time picking off the hard stems of vegetables when cooking, the diet of "eating vegetables without eating leaves but eating stems" will really surprise people at first glance. However, nutritionist Zhao said that from a nutritional point of view, eating vegetable stems can be said to have many benefits for modern people's health. Especially those who want to lose weight and improve the problem of poor defecation, it is recommended to eat more.
In fact, dietary fiber can be divided into water-soluble dietary fiber and water-insoluble dietary fiber (crude fiber) according to different functions. Generally speaking, leafy vegetables with soft taste are mainly rich in water-soluble dietary fiber. Proper intake helps to stabilize blood sugar and promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. As for vegetable stems, they are rich in crude fiber that will not be absorbed by the human body. Proper intake is helpful to increase satiety, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, increase the amount of feces and improve constipation.
Therefore, for people who need to lose weight, when supplementing vegetables in their daily diet, they should not only eat soft leaves, but also eat stalks together, which is really one of the slimming diet tips to effectively improve satiety! Among many vegetables, vegetables such as kale, sweet potato leaves, spinach, cauliflower and so on. The crude fiber content per100g is 0.8 ~ 1 g, which is a good source of intake.
