Many people not only can't eat three meals on time because of busy work, but also comfort themselves with excessive food because of stress. Although their mood has been relieved, it has brought a greater burden to their bodies. Coupled with frequent eating out, it is inevitable to eat a diet high in oil, sugar and salt. In fact, it is difficult for modern people to change this lifestyle, so we should improve it from other places, such as increasing exercise, reducing sugary drinks, avoiding high-calorie diets and eating more healthy and nutritious foods.
The nutritional value of common ingredients is beyond imagination.
Dr. Peng pointed out that the most striking healthy ingredient in the near future is okra! Nowadays, healthy food related to okra can often be seen in markets and pharmacies, and it is introduced in news, programs and radio. Recently, many patients have asked him if okra water is helpful to health. To answer this question, we should first introduce okra.
The general public's impression of okra is probably the sticky taste. This taste actually comes from mucin and pectin mucilage belonging to glycoprotein. This juice can protect the stomach wall, promote the secretion of gastric juice, help gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase appetite. Foods that also have the function of nourishing the stomach include yam, pumpkin, black fungus and so on, but in addition to nourishing the stomach, okra actually has many maintenance functions.
Experiments have confirmed that okra helps to regulate blood sugar.
1989, a paper in Japan pointed out that the extract of okra was beneficial to health, but there were not many research reports at that time. Later, studies in Indian 20 1 1, Bangladeshi 20 12, Chinese mainland 20 13, 20 14 all pointed out that flavonoids and antioxidants contained in okra extracts can help regulate the metabolism of blood sugar and cholesterol.
In recent two years, domestic medical universities and biotechnology companies have also begun to carry out animal experiments in this field. In animal experiments, it is confirmed that isoquercetin in Abelmoschus esculentus flavonoids can inhibit the activity of glycolytic enzymes, delay the process of starch decomposition into glucose, and then successfully reduce the glucose content in blood; Isoquercetin is a key nutrient to inhibit blood sugar, which mainly exists in sunflower and okra seeds. In addition, okra is rich in soluble dietary fiber, which can also slow down the digestion of carbohydrates in the intestine, not only effectively help regulate blood sugar, but also increase the intake of dietary fiber.
Three-high silver-haired people can choose efficient daily health care methods.
Because okra is a natural food, Dr. Peng said that people with high oil, high sugar and high salt diet, especially the elderly with silver hair, can use okra water as a daily health care method, and natural health care diet can take many ways. But there are two main problems in soaking okra at home and making okra water: are there enough active ingredients? Will it breed too many bacteria, but suffer first and not benefit?
Dr. Peng Chengyi once heard a nutritionist say that it is better to soak the whole okra in okra water and drink it directly, and you can also consume more dietary fiber. However, according to the research, if we want to take enough isoquercetin to control blood sugar like the mice in the study, a 50 kg adult should eat at least 1.5 kg okra a day, which is actually quite difficult! However, biotechnology companies concentrated and extracted the whole okra, and strengthened the extraction of sunflower seeds and okra seeds, which is a healthy and efficient health care method. However, Dr. Peng stressed that the natural diet health care method can not replace the formal medical care, but if you can give yourself more choices under the formal medical care, it is still worth looking forward to.
