1) Alfalfa and Drainage The number one reason alfalfa (Alfafa) is used by general lovers is: to promote the elimination of stagnant water from the body. Due to its drainage and diuretic properties, alfalfa is an excellent nutritional supplement for women with physical edema and gout sufferers to eliminate uric acid. Reason: Alfalfa is rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, of which "potassium" can assist the body to eliminate the accumulation of excessive "sodium" to achieve the function of drainage and diuresis, and then eliminate excessive uric acid in the body, in order to avoid the high concentration of uric acid in the blood caused by gout. Suggested Use: Between meals, take 1 500mg pill on an empty stomach. (2) Alfalfa and lowering cholesterol In addition, alfalfa contains an active ingredient called "phytosaponin". Phytosaponin has a great affinity for cholesterol and can be used as an emulsifier for fats and oils, where it combines with cholesterol to form an insoluble complex that cannot be absorbed by the body. As a result, the intake of cholesterol from the diet can be reduced, indirectly lowering the level of cholesterol in the blood and tissues. Suggested Use: Take 1~2 capsules of 500mg after three meals. (3) Alfalfa and acid-base balance The minerals contained in alfalfa are alkaline, which can help balance the acid-base of the body and avoid the acidification of the blood for those who usually eat large amounts of meat and fish, socialize and drink alcohol. We often hear people mention that when the blood is acidic, people get tired easily. Why? For a while we couldn't say. It was not until I came across the popular "blood analysis" that everything became clear to me. It turns out that acidic blood tends to destroy red blood cells, reducing the number of red blood cells that are used to carry nutrients, waste, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Cells do not get enough nutrients and oxygen, so naturally, "Badou Demon (Taiwanese) - Hungry" goes on strike, and the metabolic rate drops. In addition, after the cell metabolism, the waste and carbon dioxide produced by the excretion is not smooth, after the accumulation of harm to the cells, resulting in a vicious cycle. Therefore, it is recommended that at least one day a week should be scheduled for the body's environmental protection movement, "get up early and climb the mountain, meals are simple and more fruits and vegetables, clean the stomach and intestines so comfortable, healthy and naturally refreshing". Suggested Use: Take one 500mg tablet on an empty stomach between meals. Precautions for use Generally speaking, it is safe to use the dried leaves of alfalfa in moderation, however, for those who suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or other autoimmune disorders, it is not a blessing. In clinical studies, it has been found that canavanine, a natural ingredient in alfalfa, replaces arginine in proteins. Lack of arginine will make the immune system defense function decline, so for the above patients, alfalfa will be prone to allergic reactions, aggravate the disease, so people with this disease please avoid eating.
