Spring is here, has the 'retention' of a whole winter added a lot of weight to you? How to occasionally 'clean' your body? Among the vegetarian dishes commonly eaten by people, there are 12 kinds that can reduce blood fat and clear the intestines. Their effects are as follows:
1. Oatmeal:
It has the effects of lowering cholesterol and blood lipids due to the rich dietary fiber in oatmeal. This soluble oat fiber, which cannot be found in other grains, is easily absorbed by the human body and, due to its low calorie content, is beneficial for weight loss and more suitable for the dietary needs of patients with heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
2. Corn:
It contains abundant calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, selenium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, E, and carotene, as well as fiber. Regularly consuming corn oil can lower blood cholesterol and soften blood vessels. Corn has auxiliary therapeutic effects on diseases such as cholecystitis, gallstones, jaundice hepatitis, and diabetes.
3. Garlic and scallions:
Onions contain compounds such as alliin and methionine, which help in the dissolution of thrombi. Onions almost contain no fat, so they can inhibit the increase in blood cholesterol caused by high-fat diet and help improve atherosclerosis. A substance extracted from scallions, called allin, can treat cardiovascular sclerosis. Garlic can reduce the content of total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and β-lipoprotein. The secondary metabolite of allicin, methyl丙烯三硫, has the effect of inhibiting the synthesis of thromboxane A2, thus preventing thrombosis. Garlic can also treat obesity.
4. Yam:
Its mucopolysaccharide can prevent fat deposition in the cardiovascular system, maintain vascular elasticity, prevent arteriosclerosis; reduce subcutaneous fat deposition, avoid obesity. Dopamine in yam has the function of dilating blood vessels and improving blood circulation. In addition, yam can also improve human digestive function and enhance physical fitness. During the Spring Festival, if there is indigestion, yam, lotus seeds, and Job's tears can be cooked with a little black sugar.
5. Seaweed:
It is known as the 'sea vegetable'. Seaweed, with its low calorie and low fat, is remarkable. Some seaweed has the effect of lowering blood lipids. Seaweed such as kelp, which is rich in colloidal fiber, can significantly reduce serum cholesterol. Seaweed also contains many unique active substances with effects such as lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood sugar, and anti-cancer.
6. Tremella:
Tremella and tremella polysaccharides can reduce the serum cholesterol level of hyperlipidemic rats and have a significant antithrombotic effect.
7. Sweet potato:
It has a strong effect of lowering cholesterol in the blood, maintaining the acid-base balance of blood, delaying aging, and preventing cancer and anti-cancer. Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber and gelatinous substances that facilitate defecation, known as the 'intestinal scavenger'.
8. Celery:
It contains a lot of dietary fiber, especially containing hypotensive components, and also has the effects of lowering blood lipids and blood sugar.
9. Red dates:
Eating more can improve the body's antioxidant capacity and immunity. Red dates are also very effective in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
10. Hawthorn:
It can strengthen and regulate the myocardium, increase the amplitude of ventricular and atrial movement, and coronary blood flow, and can also lower blood cholesterol and promote fat metabolism.
11. Chrysanthemum:
It has the effect of lowering blood lipids and has a stable blood pressure-lowering effect. Adding a little chrysanthemum to green tea has a good health-preserving effect on the cardiovascular system.
12. Apple:
Its pectin has the effect of lowering cholesterol in the blood. Apples are rich in potassium and can eliminate excess sodium salts in the body. Eating three apples a day is beneficial for maintaining blood pressure and blood lipids.
