Sweet potato (scientific name: Ipomoea batatas), also known as sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato and pillow potato. Common perennial dicotyledonous plants, herbs, with slender vines and creeping stems. Root tuber, which produces lactic acid by anaerobic respiration, has white or red skin color, and the meat is mostly yellow-white, but it also has purple. Besides being used for food, it can also be used to make sugar, wine and alcohol.
experts point out that it is best to eat sweet potatoes at lunch time. This is because after we eat sweet potatoes, the calcium contained in them needs to be absorbed in the human body for 4 to 5 hours, and afternoon sunlight can just promote the absorption of calcium. But it is best to eat sweet potatoes before lunch, so that calcium can be completely absorbed before lunch, and it will not affect the absorption of calcium in other foods at dinner.
Sweet potato is rich in essential nutrients such as starch, vitamins and cellulose, as well as mineral elements such as magnesium, phosphorus and calcium and linoleic acid. These substances can maintain the elasticity of blood vessels and are very effective in preventing and treating habitual constipation in the elderly. Unfortunately, most people think that eating sweet potatoes will make people fat and dare not eat them. In fact, on the contrary, sweet potato is an ideal diet food, its calorie is only 1/3 of that of rice, and because it is rich in cellulose and pectin, it has the special function of preventing sugar from transforming into fat.
Sweet potato is not only a healthy food, but also a good medicine for curing diseases. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, sweet potato has the effects of "tonifying deficiency, invigorating qi, strengthening spleen and stomach, and strengthening kidney yin". "Sweet potatoes are steamed, cut, dried and harvested as food, which is called potato food, which makes people live longer and have fewer diseases. "compendium of materia medica" says that sweet potato can tonify the middle energizer, blood, warm the stomach and fatten the five internal organs. "The Manual of Sweet Potato" says that it has six medicinal values: treating dysentery and diarrhea; Treat wine accumulation and heat diarrhea; Treat damp-heat and jaundice; Treat nocturnal emission and white turbidity; Treating blood deficiency and menstrual disorder; Treat infantile malnutrition. "Luchuan Materia Medica" says that sweet potato can produce fluid to quench thirst and cure fever and thirst.
Sweet potato contains a lot of cellulose and pectin that are not easily destroyed by digestive enzymes, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus playing a laxative role. In addition, its rich β -carotene is an effective antioxidant, which helps to eliminate free radicals in the body. In fact, sweet potato is an ideal diet food.
Precautions
1. It is not advisable to eat sweet potato with black spots. The black spot virus of sweet potato with black spots is not easy to be destroyed and killed by high temperature, and it is easy to cause poisoning, resulting in a series of poisoning symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and even death.
2. The main component of sweet potato that is not suitable for eating with persimmon is starch, which will produce a lot of fruit acid after eating. If eaten with persimmon at the same time, fruit acid can coagulate with tannin and pectin of persimmon, forming stomach stones. If you eat a lot, it should be at least five hours apart. If eaten at the same time, the sugar in sweet potato will ferment in the stomach, which will increase the secretion of gastric acid, precipitate and condense with tannin and pectin in persimmon, and produce lumps. When the amount is serious, it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding or gastric ulcer. If you feel upset in the stomach, you must go to the hospital for gastroscopy to see if there is gastric bleeding or gastric ulcer.
3. Sweet potato should be moderate
Sweet potato contains an oxidase, which easily produces a large amount of carbon dioxide gas in human gastrointestinal tract. If sweet potato is eaten too much, it will make people abdominal distension, burp and fart. Sweet potato has a high sugar content. Eating too much can produce a lot of stomach acid, which makes people feel "heartburn".
The stomach is stimulated by acid, which strengthens the contraction. At this time, the cardiac muscles at the junction of the stomach and esophagus relax, and the acid in the stomach flows back to the feeding tube, and people spit sour water. Too much sugar can't be absorbed by the body for a while, and the rest will ferment in the intestine, which will also make the stomach uncomfortable.
therefore, the popular sweet potato regimen is not suitable for everyone. If you have symptoms of diarrhea after eating, don't force it. Eating brown rice will have the same effect.
