There are many kinds of miscellaneous grains, such as:
(1) corn: The nutritional component of corn is protein 1 1? 5%, fat 4? 3%, cellulose 2%, carbohydrate 10%, carotene, vitamins a, b and c are also rich. Yellow coarse cereals contain more carotene.
Corn oil is 6 times higher than polished rice and refined flour, which can reduce blood fat, prevent arteriosclerosis, delay thrombosis, contain empty sesame oil, and enhance thinking and memory.
Fresh corn is rich in vitamins A and B2, which can protect eyesight, prevent and treat dry eye, conjunctivitis, night blindness and angular stomatitis, and also enhance physical strength and endurance.
Protein lysine glutathione in corn can resist cell aging and delay the decline of brain function. Lignin in corn fiber can also effectively scavenge free radicals and reduce potential cancer.
Corn contains a lot of selenium, which can promote the excretion of various carcinogens through the digestive tract; Magnesium and plant fiber are also high in content, which can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, reduce intestinal absorption of carcinogens and prevent colorectal cancer. Corn contains calcium needed by human body, and the germ of fresh corn contains a lot of linoleic acid, vitamin E, lecithin, oleic acid, grain alcohol and enzymes, which can lower cholesterol and prevent hypertension, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Enzymes can improve gastrointestinal function and hematopoiesis. Chen Jinchao, director of the Longevity Research Institute of Bama County, the hometown of longevity in the world, said:
"The daily diet of Bama people-a bowl of corn porridge, a plate of tofu and a small glass of corn wine-is the material basis for their longevity."
In addition, corn stigma is an effective drug for treating cholecystitis, gallstones, nephritis and all edema diseases. Stigma has a peculiar effect on absorbing sweat and oil on the skin surface, and can treat various skin diseases. Corn silk is also a good medicine. 50 grams of corn stigma and 25 grams of plantain seeds can be used for treating urethritis and cystitis. Or 50 grams of stigma Maydis and 25 grams of Herba Artemisiae Scopariae are decocted in water to treat icteric hepatitis. Corn silk can lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels.
(2) Soybean: The fat content is about 18%, but 85% of it is unsaturated fatty acid. Linoleic acid is the most essential fatty acid for human body. Does not contain cholesterol, but contains sitosterol, which can lower cholesterol. Soybean has a good therapeutic effect on patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. The content of phosphorus in soybean is 286 mg100 g, which is beneficial to the physiological function of brain nerve and bone. Potassium in soybean can buffer the adverse effects of acidic foods such as meat, fish, eggs and poultry, which is longevity food.
(3) Mung bean: Mung bean is a food with low fat and high nutrition. Per100g mung bean contains lysine1488mg, arginine 158 1 mg, 20g of protein, 5? 2 grams. Mung beans contain complete amino acids. If it is mixed with millet, it can complement tryptophan with high content in millet, so that the nutritional value of the two foods is higher. External application of mung bean powder can treat swelling and congestion caused by trauma. The detoxification effect of mung bean is very prominent. In addition to treating boils, drinking mung bean soup or mung bean plus vitamin C also has obvious curative effect on gastritis, uremia, urinary tract infection, alcoholism and other drug poisoning. Some people add alkali when cooking mung bean soup, which is unscientific, because the water-soluble vitamins B 1, B2 and carotene contained in mung beans will be completely destroyed when exposed to alkali, and their heat-clearing and detoxicating properties will also be weakened.
In addition, there are adzuki beans, black beans, glutinous rice, wheat, buckwheat and so on. They are all beneficial miscellaneous grains rich in trace elements.
