(1) Detoxification: Mung bean has a strong detoxification effect, which can remove all kinds of poisons inside and outside the body and prevent food poisoning and drug poisoning. This is related to the fact that mung beans are rich in detoxification components such as protein, dietary fiber, selenium and polyphenols. Mung bean protein can protect gastrointestinal mucosa and prevent toxins from being absorbed by gastrointestinal tract.
(2) Improve intestinal flora, moisten intestines and relieve constipation: Mung beans are rich in dietary fiber and functional oligosaccharides. The former can not only increase the volume of feces, promote defecation, but also be partially degraded into lower fatty acids by intestinal microorganisms, thus reducing the pH of the intestine, which is beneficial to the growth of acidic probiotics and inhibiting the growth of alkaline harmful bacteria.
Mung bean functional oligosaccharides can be used as nutrients for intestinal probiotics, which can promote the growth and reproduction of probiotics such as Bifidobacterium in the intestine and make them metabolize to produce a large number of acidic substances and antibiotics, thus inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and improving intestinal flora. In addition, the metabolites of Bifidobacterium can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, increase intestinal wettability and maintain a certain osmotic pressure, thus preventing constipation.
(3) Reducing blood fat: Mung beans are rich in stigmasterol. It is similar to cholesterol in structure, so it can compete with cholesterol for esterifying enzyme, so that cholesterol cannot be esterified and its absorption by intestine is reduced. In addition, stigmasterol can also reduce serum cholesterol level by promoting cholesterol transfer in liver or preventing cholesterol biosynthesis.
(4) Antioxidant: Mung bean skin is rich in antioxidant components such as vitamin E, carotene, flavonoids and polyphenols, so it has strong antioxidant effect.
(5) Anti-tumor: Mung bean is rich in dietary fiber, functional oligosaccharides, flavonoids and polyphenols, which can play an anti-tumor role in many aspects. Mung bean oligosaccharide is a proliferation factor of Bifidobacterium in human intestine. Regular consumption can improve intestinal flora, reduce the absorption and production of carcinogens, and thus prevent some cancers.
(6) Antibacterial: Mung beans contain polyphenols, flavonoids and alkaloids, which can not only be directly antibacterial, but also indirectly antibacterial by improving the body's immunity. Alkaloids and stigmasterol contained in mung beans can enhance the number and phagocytosis of macrophages and improve the immunity of the body.
(7) Enhance immunity: The active ingredients such as polyphenols, flavonoids, coumarins, alkaloids, stigmasterol and saponins contained in mung beans enhance immunity in various ways. Such as protecting immune cells, increasing the number or phagocytic function of phagocytes, and promoting the synthesis of antibodies and immune factors.
2, the disadvantages of mung beans are not suitable, mung beans are cold, easy to damage stomach gas, chronic gastritis, chronic enteritis and spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat more.
(1) people with cold constitution, such as cold limbs, cold pain in the waist and legs, and thin stools. Eating mung beans will aggravate symptoms and even cause other diseases.
(2) Old people, children and people with weak constitution. Because the content of protein in mung bean is more than that in chicken, the macromolecular protein needs to be converted into small peptides and amino acids under the action of enzymes before it can be absorbed by human body. This kind of people have poor gastrointestinal digestive function, it is difficult to digest mung bean protein in a short time, and it is easy to cause diarrhea due to indigestion.
(3) People who are taking various drugs. Because mung beans have detoxification function, if the drugs taken by patients, whether traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine, contain organic phosphorus, calcium, potassium and other components, mung beans will combine with these components to form precipitation, thus decomposing the efficacy and affecting treatment.
