Eating coarse grains can make your stomach healthier and your appetite stronger. As the old saying goes, "the whole grain is nourishing", which means that both coarse and fine grains are rich in nutrition, and eating them together is beneficial to health.
Disease prevention: At the same time, many coarse grains also have medicinal properties. For example, corn is recognized as the "golden crop" in the world, and its cellulose is 4- 10 times higher than polished rice and refined flour. Cellulose can accelerate intestinal peristalsis, eliminate the factors of colorectal cancer, reduce cholesterol absorption and prevent coronary heart disease. Mung bean tastes sweet and cold, and has the functions of diuresis, detumescence, neutralization and detoxification, and cooling and quenching thirst; Buckwheat contains chlorophyll and rutin that other grains do not have. The vitamin B 1 and B2 in buckwheat are twice as much as those in wheat, and niacin is 3-4 times as much. Nicotinic acid and rutin contained in buckwheat are drugs for treating hypertension. Regular consumption of buckwheat also has a certain effect on diabetes.
Fresh brown rice is more beneficial to health than polished rice, because the more refined the grain is, the more vitamins, protein and cellulose are lost. Although dietary fiber in coarse grains can't be digested and utilized by human body, it can ventilate intestines, clean up waste and promote food residues to be excreted as soon as possible.
Weight loss: coarse grains also have the effect of weight loss, just like corn, which also contains a lot of magnesium. Magnesium can strengthen the peristalsis of intestinal wall and promote the excretion of body waste, which is very beneficial to weight loss. When the corn is ripe, the tassel of the ear has diuretic effect and is also beneficial to lose weight. We can make corn soup as tea, or make corn into corn cakes, tortillas and so on. The puffed popcorn has a large volume, which can eliminate people's hunger after eating, but the calorie content after eating is very low, so it is a green food to lose weight.
Experts point out that we should eat coarse grains at least three times a week, which is more conducive to health.
