Should you eat more yam lotus root after cold dew?

65438+10.8 is the cold dew solar term in China lunar calendar. Doctors advise the general public to eat more "root" vegetables such as yam and lotus root for health care.

Yam is not only a traditional Chinese medicine, but also a delicious food, and it is also a familiar nourishing treasure. Studies have proved that the content of B vitamins in yam is several times that of rice, and the content of potassium in minerals is also extremely rich. In addition, Chinese yam has an auxiliary effect on diabetes, which not only tends to produce satiety, but also helps to control food intake, and also has the functions of improving sugar metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity.

Because of the high starch content in yam, it is best to replace part of the staple food with yam when eating yam, that is, to reduce the amount of staple food appropriately, especially for diabetics, to avoid the problem of excess energy. Lotus root contains mucin and dietary fiber, which can be combined with cholate in human body, cholesterol and triglyceride in food, so that it can be excreted from feces, thus reducing the absorption of lipids.

Lotus root gives off a unique fragrance, and also contains tannin, which has certain functions of invigorating spleen, stopping diarrhea, stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, stimulating appetite and strengthening the body, and is beneficial to the recovery of people with poor appetite.
