Edamame [Nutrition experts warn]: Eating some edamame in summer can relieve fatigue

Now is the season for edamame, which is green and lovely, and is a vegetable that people like to eat. Qi Yumei, director of the nutrition department of Tianjin Third Central Hospital, believes that edamame is a nutritious food, rich in potassium, which can relieve fatigue and loss of appetite caused by hot weather, and is especially suitable for summer consumption.

Qi Yumei said that edamame is a fresh bean vegetable, rich in plant protein, a variety of beneficial minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber. The protein content is not only high, but also of high quality, comparable to the protein in meat and eggs, and easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. The fat content in edamame is significantly higher than that in other types of vegetables, but it is mainly unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid, which are essential to the human body, which can improve fat metabolism and help reduce triglycerides and cholesterol in the human body. The lecithin in edamame is one of the indispensable nutrients for brain development and helps improve the brain's memory and intelligence level. Edamame is also rich in dietary fiber, which can not only improve constipation, but also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The iron in edamame is easily absorbed and can be used as one of the foods for children to supplement iron. Edamame also contains trace amounts of functional ingredients, flavonoids, especially soy isoflavones, which are called natural phytoestrogens. They have estrogen effects in the human body, can improve women's menopausal discomfort, and prevent and treat osteoporosis.

In addition, edamame is a green and safe food. Because legumes are less susceptible to pests and diseases, and edamame is covered with a layer of furry "armor", it can more effectively resist pests and diseases, so edamame generally does not use or uses very little pesticides during its growth process.
