As the saying goes, "Summer eats beans, better than meat"! When it comes to beans, many people think of soybeans, and they love to drink mung bean soup in summer.
The little chef brought them today is not them, but a pair of "brain beans", which can be called "brain supplement golden partners", what are they?
Brain supplement beans/broad beans are getting worse and worse after aging, and I am afraid that Alzheimer's experts remind that in fact, the "god" like substance in the brain has become weaker
The "god" substance in the brain is actually dopamine
The ancients said that "grains are nourished, and if you lose beans, it is bad", Director Yang of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the PLA General Hospital brings us the food that the brain loves, helps supplement dopamine, high protein, low fat, containing 90 mg of L-dopamine per 100 grams, nourishing brain nerves, maintaining heart rhythm, and maintaining normal kidney function
Fava beans are also rich in phospholipids, which can also nourish brain cells, protect the brain, enhance memory, and recommend eating 50-100 grams per day
Moreover, broad beans have a lower glycemic index in starchy beans, so they are also more suitable for diabetics
Brain supplement golden partner folk proverb: broad beans are turnips, crunchy! Carrots are rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body, promote the growth and development of the human body and the normal synthesis of rhodopsin, but also relieve eye fatigue, and also have the effect of tonifying the brain.
