Strange Tasting Foods for Women's Health (Part 2)
When women choose food, their sense of smell sometimes plays a decisive role. Foods with "strange" tastes like durian and Chinese toon may make a few people drool, but for most people, they are "unbearable"... However, many strange-tasting foods around us can actually help protect women's health.
Cilantro Prevents Osteoporosis:
Medical research shows that after the age of 40, bone formation decreases and the cortical bone becomes thinner, especially in women. At this time, women's bones are like eggs, with thin and fragile cortical bone like eggshells. Experts remind that women in middle age should eat more boron-containing foods to help the body absorb minerals and protect the bones. Cilantro contains a lot of boron.
In addition, cilantro is rich in iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C. It can also promote diuresis, help maintain stable blood sugar, and prevent cancer.
Mustard Makes the Complexion Rosy:
Professor Yang Li from the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine told reporters that mustard has a strong spicy taste and a strong stimulating effect. It can regulate women's endocrine function, enhance sexual function, stimulate blood vessel dilation, enhance facial blood circulation, and make the complexion of women more rosy.
Professor Li Huiming said that the main component that makes mustard pungent is isothiocyanate. This component can not only prevent tooth decay but also have certain effects in preventing cancer, preventing the deposition of blood vessel plaques, and assisting in the treatment of asthma. In addition, mustard also has the effects of preventing hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and reducing blood viscosity.
Chinese Toon Can Help with Fertility:
Research shows that Chinese toon contains vitamin E and hormone substances, which have anti-aging and nourishing effects and certain therapeutic effects on infertility. Therefore, it is known as the "fertility aid".
Professor Li Huiming introduced that Chinese toon contains volatile aromatic organic compounds such as toonin, which can invigorate the spleen and stimulate the appetite, increasing one's appetite. It has the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, and detoxification, and is a good medicine for adjuvant treatment of enteritis, dysentery, and urinary system infections.
