What are the benefits of bitter vegetables?
Bitter gourd, named after its bitter taste, is also called cold melon. Bitter gourd is also a vegetable used to clear heat in summer. Bitter gourd is rich in vitamins B, C, calcium and iron. Li Shizhen said that bitter gourd has the effects of "dispelling pathogenic heat, relieving fatigue, clearing heart and improving eyesight, benefiting qi and strengthening yang". According to the research, it has obvious hidden blood sugar effect and has certain curative effect on diabetes. It also has certain antiviral ability and anticancer effect.

Bitter gourd cooked food is warm, raw food is cold, and people with spleen deficiency and stomach cold should not eat it raw. In addition, pregnant women should be careful about their diet.

Obesity is like the plague in the world today, spreading from one country to another, from one person to another, and "special effects" slimming products appear constantly, but the pace of obesity has never stopped. Some people can't get fat even if they eat again. They are slim and beautiful, with smooth and delicate skin. Why? What secrets do they have?

CCTV's "Life and Health" column group once reported this wonderful landscape, which revealed the mystery: it turns out that they eat 2-3 bitter melons raw every day, so they are so slim. At that time, during the interview, the director Miss Lu Di also tried to take a bite, which soon hurt. It seems that although the weight loss effect of bitter gourd is surprisingly good, it is really unbearable to eat several pieces every day. Of course there are exceptions. An old lady surnamed Sun ate five bitter melons in one breath in front of the camera. She said that her original weight was 1.74kg, and she suffered from hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. After eating bitter gourd for a year, her weight was reduced to 96 kg, and all those diseases were cured.

Bitter gourd is bitter, and the bitterness can't be swallowed, but you know what? A bitter gourd contains 0.4% of the weight-loss special ingredient-high-energy lipid. Eat a few bitter melons a day, and you won't get fat no matter how you eat or sleep.

From 65438 to 0998, Dr. Kerry of the United States extracted a bioactive component-high-energy lipoprotein from bitter gourd. Experiments show that taking one milligram of this ingredient every day can prevent the absorption of about100g of fat and make the waist circumference as thin as 2mm ... If you take 2-4mm of "high-energy serum albumin" every day, the most conservative estimate after 30 days is that 12-24kg of fat in the food you eat is not absorbed by the human body, but stored in the waist, abdomen and buttocks.

Small message:

Bitter gourd source: the fruit of bitter gourd in cucurbitaceae. Nature and taste: bitter and cold.

Ingredients: It mainly contains momordica charantia protein, protein-like active substances (α-momordica charantia protein, β-momordica charantia protein, MAP30), insulin-like active substances (polypeptide -P) and various amino acids.

Function: clear away heat and relieve summer heat, improve eyesight and detoxify. Treat fever, heatstroke, dysentery, red eye pain, swelling and pain, erysipelas and malignant sores.

The discovery of "high-energy lipoprotein" in bitter gourd has made a historic turning point in the cause of weight loss in western countries. Professionals found a special ingredient as expensive as gold from a very common vegetable-bitter gourd, that is, bitter gourd essence (RPA). This special ingredient called "fat killer" can reduce the intake of fat and polysaccharide by about 40%-60%.

According to statistics, there are 13 large pharmaceutical factories in Ohio, USA, and 3-6 million people in the United States recover their charming slim figure every day, and their effects on blood lipid, blood pressure, blood sugar and arteriosclerosis have also attracted widespread attention. If you go to Japan, you can buy a bottle of FDA-certified "Kugua Su" produced by Ling Wei Biotechnology Company in the United States for 30,000 yen. In Hongkong, China, "Kuguasu" is becoming a hot topic for ladies and gentlemen.

Experts from Shanghai Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences have successfully overcome the difficulty of extracting high-energy lipids-bitter gourd, which has been popular in western countries in recent two years. It can keep more than 90% biological activity of momordicin in a set of biological extraction equipment worth tens of millions of yuan and extract and concentrate it into capsules.

Pharmacological studies have confirmed that high-energy serum albumin does not enter human blood, but only acts on small intestine, which is an important part of human body to absorb fat. By changing the mesh of intestinal cells, it prevents the absorption of high-calorie macromolecules such as fat and polysaccharide, thus accelerating the absorption of small-molecule nutrients in the body, and does not participate in human metabolism, so there is no toxic side effect.

With the gradual warming of the weather, many ladies who love beauty will throw themselves into the torrent of losing weight and shaping up. In the face of overwhelming weight loss propaganda, how should you choose? How to lose weight is the most scientific method? Experts warn that beauty is more important than health, and slimness and health should not be contradictory. Losing weight is more important to reduce health, followed by reducing self-confidence and beauty, so don't take health as the price of beauty, because only health is beautiful.
