Eating starch properly can reduce the risk of intestinal cancer ~ ~
The study found that China's starch consumption is the highest in the world, more than twice that of Britain, while the incidence of colon cancer in China is half less than that in Britain.
So, how can starchy foods prevent colon cancer? When starch enters the colon, bacteria in the colon break it down. In the process of starch decomposition, it accelerates the excretion of wastes that may cause intestinal cancer from the digestive tract.
Foods rich in starch are often rich in potassium, which plays a vital role in maintaining the excitability of intestinal neuromuscular, promoting defecation and preventing and treating colon cancer.
Secondly, some foods rich in starch, such as vinegar, lobster sauce, yeast steamed bread and so on. Increasing the content of immune active substances such as B vitamins is beneficial to maintain the balance of intestinal flora and eliminate carcinogens. Moreover, starch will produce a large number of butyrate through the action of intestinal fermentation enzymes. Experiments show that butyrate is an effective cancer cell growth inhibitor, which can directly inhibit the proliferation of bacteria in the large intestine and prevent the generation of cancer-causing cells on the inner wall of the large intestine.
Therefore, in the daily diet, people should pay more attention to the intake of starch-rich foods, and should ensure that there are starch foods in every meal of three meals a day. Generally speaking, the total intake of starchy foods should account for 50%-60% of the total daily energy.
As for shortcomings,
1, eating too much starchy food, producing too much carbon dioxide to make the blood black, which is manifested in the eyelids that are most likely to appear, forming dark circles.
2. If you eat too much food with high starch content, it will not be consumed and will be easily converted into fat.
3. Eating more foods with high starch content (such as bread and cereal) will increase insulin level, affect eyeball development and cause myopia.
4. starchy foods; Eating too much can easily lead to acidic constitution, which is the source of all diseases. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, gout, gastric ulcer, obesity and cancer are all related to acidic constitution.
5. It is easy to get Alzheimer's disease after a long time.
In fact, a few grams of starch is considered as food in cooking. . It doesn't matter much if the amount is small, that is, dieters should not eat sticky food to lose weight ~ ~ ~
Generally, eating too much starch refers to starchy foods, such as staple foods rich in carbohydrates, such as rice, corn and wheat, and root foods, such as potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes.
There are also starchy fruits such as bananas and pitaya.
It doesn't matter if it is thicker.
Finally, I suggest that you can often eat healthier starchy foods, mainly as follows:
Steamed sweet potato, steamed yam, steamed pumpkin, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, boiled corn, jujube porridge, lobster sauce, etc.
Of course, there are also some starchy foods. Eating too much is bad for your health. You should eat as little as possible, such as French fries, potato chips, snacks with high margarine content and all kinds of exquisite cereal snacks.
