Now it is the golden age of its growth, and it is also called 'golden dish'. It is cheap and effective.

Now is the golden age of lettuce growth. Lettuce is called "golden dish" because lettuce is cheap and healthy, and the effect is very good. Chinese medicine believes that lettuce is sweet and bitter in taste, cold in nature and taste, and belongs to the two meridians of the intestine and kidney. Lettuce contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin A, carotene, b vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, and trace elements such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and iodine.

Lettuce is cultivated all over China and wild. The origin of lettuce is on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. According to Wang Shixiong's "Suixiju Diet Manual", lettuce is slightly bitter and slightly bitter, slightly cold and slightly poisonous. Today, I will introduce the efficacy and role of lettuce, as well as the taboos of eating, hoping to help everyone.

Open to Shuli

Anyone who has eaten lettuce knows that the taste of lettuce is fresh and slightly bitter. It is precisely because of this that it can stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes in the human body, thereby increasing appetite. The milky serum of lettuce can enhance the secretion of gastric juice, digestive glands and bile, thereby promoting the function of various digestive organs, especially for patients with weakened digestive function, reduced acidity in the digestive tract and constipation. Therefore, people with poor gastrointestinal function are recommended to eat it regularly.

laxative

Lettuce contains a lot of plant cellulose, which can promote the peristalsis of the intestinal wall, clear the digestive tract, help the excretion of stool, and can be used to treat various constipation.

Prevention and treatment of oral ulcers

This season is the season of high incidence of oral ulcers. From a nutritional point of view, most of the reasons for oral ulcers are related to the lack of vitamin B family and vitamin C. At this time, people with oral ulcers need to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less irritating food, while lettuce contains a lot of nutrients such as vitamin C and niacin, and the content of vitamin C in lettuce is higher than that of other lettuce. For vegetables, lettuce is even higher, which can relieve the symptoms of oral ulcer pain.

anti-oxidation

Many people like to eat lettuce stems when they eat lettuce, and the lettuce leaves are thrown aside, or even removed when they are bought. As everyone knows, it is such a pity that the nutritional value of the leaves on the lettuce stems is not only not lower than that of the lettuce stems, but also higher than that of the lettuce stems. For example, the content of carotene and vitamin C in lettuce leaves is higher than that of lettuce stems. Not only can protect the eyes, but also can remove free radicals in the body, and play a very good antioxidant role.

Anti-cancer anti-cancer

Lettuce contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, which can regulate the function of the nervous system. The organic content contained in the lettuce is rich in iron that can be absorbed by the human body, which is very beneficial to patients with iron deficiency anemia. The hot water extract of lettuce has a high inhibitory rate on some cancer cells, so it can also be used to prevent and fight cancer.
