There is a kind of vegetable that is unremarkable, but it has a great function. It is "konjac". Amorphophallus konjac is a beneficial alkaline food. Amorphophallus konjac has many functions, such as lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, removing toxic substances, caring skin, dredging veins, losing weight, relaxing bowels, appetizing and so on.

Amorphophallus konjac is an inorganic compound with glucomannan, which has strong water absorption capacity. After moisture absorption, its volume can be expanded by 80- 100 times, and it is easy to be digested after eating. It can also adsorb cholesterol and total bile acids, and has certain effect on reducing blood pressure and reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Amorphophallus konjac also contains soluble dietary fiber, which is reasonable to inhibit the increase of blood sugar after meals.

Konjac precise vermicelli and products are all ideal hypoglycemic foods for diabetics. After application, it can relieve pancreatic pressure. Because the wire bonding method of konjac glucomannan monosaccharide is similar to methyl cellulose, it can not be dissolved into monosaccharide for digestion and absorption in colon, so it is suitable for diabetics and others who can not ingest ribonucleic acid. Because of this, konjac can be used as the raw material of diet food.

Talk about the nutritional value of konjac;

1, prevention of myocardial infarction, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases: The mucin contained in konjac can reduce the accumulation of cholesterol in the body, prevent myocardial infarction and prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.

2. Reduce cholesterol: Konjac glucomannan can reasonably inhibit the digestion and absorption of fat burning components such as cholesterol and total bile acid in intestines, promote the excretion of lipids from the body, and reduce the total output of triglycerides and cholesterol in serum protein.

3, enhance immunity, prevention and treatment of cancer and tumor: Amorphophallus konjac can enhance human immunity, and the contained mannose anhydride has an impact on tumor cell metabolism, and the contained high-quality dietary fiber can stimulate the human body, resulting in a component that destroys tumor cells. Drug sensitivity test is sensitive to somatic cells of cardiac cancer and intestinal cancer, which can relieve cough, resolve phlegm, soften hardness, disperse swelling and remove toxin, treat lumps, sputum nuclei, gall tumors and other diseases, and can prevent and treat cancer tumors.

4. Relieve the pressure of hepatomegaly, which is beneficial to diabetics: Amorphophallus konjac contains chromium, which can slow down the digestion and absorption of glucose, reasonably reduce postprandial blood sugar, and then relieve the pressure of hepatomegaly, so that glycolysis of diabetics can develop steadily and the blood sugar index can be maintained in a certain area. It is not easy to make the blood sugar value drop suddenly like some hypoglycemic drugs, so as to cause hypoglycemia.

5. Promote digestion and reduce the digestion and absorption of human fat: The chemical fiber in konjac can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote digestion, avoid severe constipation and reduce the digestion and absorption of human fat by intestines, which is beneficial to the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and can reduce the accumulation of cholesterol in the body, and has key practical significance for preventing and treating high blood pressure and coronary atherosclerosis. The vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin E contained in konjac can reduce the accumulation of cholesterol in the body, prevent myocardial infarction and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
