The nutritional value of spinach
Jun 21, 2021
Spinach is a very common plant in our daily life, and the price is very cheap. It is also a Chinese medicinal material with many nutritional values, such as:
1. Spinach is rich in carotene, vitamin C, calcium, and phosphorus, and has a variety of nutrients; the iron contained in spinach also has a very good auxiliary treatment effect on iron deficiency anemia.
2. Spinach also has a certain role in promoting growth and development and enhancing disease resistance. The carotene in spinach can be converted into vitamin A in our body, which can maintain normal vision and the health of epithelial cells, and promote the growth and development of children.
3. The crude plant fiber in spinach can promote the peristalsis of our intestines, not only to facilitate defecation, but also to promote pancreatic secretion and help our food digestion.
4. Promote the body's metabolism. Some substances in spinach can also promote the body's metabolism and enhance our own health.
Counter food:
Because we often eat spinach in our daily meals, we need to pay attention to the relative foods when eating spinach, such as:
1. Spinach and cucumber: Vitamin C in spinach will be destroyed by decomposing enzymes in cucumber.
2. Spinach and tofu: The oxalic acid in spinach and the calcium in tofu form calcium oxalate, which makes the body's calcium unable to absorb.
3. Spinach and milk: the same food can cause dysentery.
4. Spinach and eel: the same food can cause diarrhea.
Edible recommendations:
When we all eat spinach, in addition to the foods that are compatible with it, we also need to pay attention to people who are contraindicated in the spinach itself, because the oxalic acid contained in spinach itself can be combined with calcium salt to form calcium oxalate crystals. The urine of patients with nephritis is turbid, and the cast and salt crystals are relatively increased. Therefore, people who must pay attention to nephritis and kidney stones are advised not to eat spinach.
