Vascular “scavengers” in food

Blood is the source of nourishment for the body, and it flows throughout the tissues and organs of the body. But as we age, there will be some “garbage” in the blood, if they can not be “cleaned” in time, it will cause the blood is not clean, become sticky, the flow is not smooth, thus affecting health. At this time, it is advisable to pass some table vascular “scavenger” to assist the body to clean up blood waste, for the body to do a cleanup. The actual blood sugar stabilizer: pu-erh tea Pu-erh tea is mild in nature, relatively small stimulation of the spleen and stomach, containing tea polyphenols and other healthful ingredients. Studies have found that pu-erh tea has the ability to significantly inhibit diabetes-related biological enzymes, helping to stabilize blood sugar. Recommended consumption: Pu-erh tea is recommended to be consumed between meals. Use 100°C boiling water when brewing. The best way to drink pu-erh tea is to wash it first, because most pu-erh tea is consumed every other year or even after several years, and it is easy to deposit dust, so “washing the tea” can achieve the purpose of “cleaning the dust and moistening the tea”. Moreover, oats can bring a strong sense of satiety, so that people are not hungry for a long time. Recommended eating method: it is recommended to choose the most “simple” oats, that is, large, whole, not finely ground, and do not add any sugar, creamer and other ingredients of oats. It can be boiled porridge, and then add some nuts, nutritious and delicious. Blood pressure controller: celery Celery is rich in potassium and apigenin, both of which are good for blood pressure control. A study published in the American Heart Association’s Journal of Hypertension states that proper consumption of celery juice does help lower blood pressure. Recommended food: Cook celery with less oil and salt, otherwise it will weaken its blood pressure-lowering effect. You can blanch the celery and mix it cold, or use it directly for juicing. Blood circulation catalyst: black beans Black beans are rich in anthocyanins, which can remove free radicals in the body, lower cholesterol and promote blood circulation. In addition, anthocyanins have an eye protection effect. Recommended eating method: anthocyanins are more stable under acidic conditions, soaking in vinegar is beneficial to the absorption of nutrients in black beans. Before soaking, you need to fry the black beans, let it cool and pour in the vinegar to make it cover the black beans, but you need to leave about 1/3 of space to avoid the black beans swelling and overflowing. Cover and soak the black beans, and then eat them when they are completely swollen. Black beans can also be used to make soy milk or boil soup. Blood Purifier: Kelp Kelp is not only a food high in iodine, but also rich in dietary fiber and gum, the gum component of which can combine harmful substances in the blood, such as heavy metals, and has the effect of detoxifying and purifying the blood. Recommended eating method: You can directly soak the kelp and make cold shredded kelp. However, since kelp is cold, it is recommended that people with colder bodies and weak constitutions can eat some kelp stewed with tofu, which can neutralize the coolness of kelp after being heated at high temperatures. Natto is a soy product made from soybeans fermented by Natto bacteria. Research has confirmed that natto kinase in natto can “dissolve” blood clots and prevent diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. In addition, natto is also rich in soy isoflavones, zinc, calcium and vitamin K, which can not only supplement estrogen and improve menopausal symptoms, but also prevent osteoporosis. Recommended eating method: In order to maintain the activity of natto kinase and other ingredients, natto should not be heated and eaten fresh, but must be in a cold state. In addition, in order to maintain its cardiovascular-healthy characteristics, a large amount of fat should not be added to it, and it is not recommended to be consumed with a large amount of animal food. The above are only a few representative food choices, and there are many nutrients that are beneficial to blood vessels, including: vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, soy isoflavones, tea polyphenols, lycopene, dietary fiber, monounsaturated fatty acids, essential fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA, alpha linolenic acid), phospholipids, magnesium and calcium, t, selenium, and foods beneficial to blood vessels include ginger, garlic, fennel, onion, eggplant, broccoli, yam, white radish, leek, grapes, hawthorn, dates, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and mushrooms, sweet potatoes, lotus root, kidney beans, potatoes, empty cabbage, corn, groundnuts, barley, konjac, apples, oranges, mangoes, etc., all of which have vascular health effects. Finally, it should be reminded that for people with related diseases, food cannot replace the related treatment. Food therapy alone cannot achieve a cure, and one should also go to the hospital in time.
