Water chestnut is one of the famous specialties in my country, with a history of cultivation more than 3,000 years ago. Water chestnut has blue, red and purple colors, crispy skin and beautiful flesh. It is a good fruit and can also be used as food. It is generally eaten after cooking, or chopped into fine grains after drying, and it can also be eaten in porridge.

The ancients believed that eating more water chestnut can nourish the five internal organs, eliminate all kinds of diseases, and lighten the body. “Compendium of Materia Medica” says: water chestnut can nourish the spleen and stomach, strengthen the thigh and knee, strengthen the strength and replenish qi, and water chestnut porridge is beneficial to the stomach and intestines, and can relieve internal heat.
②Winter melon
Winter gourd, known as Shuizhi in ancient times. Because of its round and long shape, it is like a pillow in ancient times, so it is also called pillow melon. Winter melon has been considered as a weight loss product since ancient times. Unlike other fruits, it does not contain fat and has a very low sodium content, which has the effect of diuresis and dehumidification. In addition to water content, winter melon also has high nutritional value. One hundred grams of wax gourd meat contains 0.4 grams of protein, 2.4 grams of carbohydrates, 20 mg of calcium, 12 mg of phosphorus, 0.3 mg of iron, and a variety of vitamins, especially vitamin C. One hundred grams contains 16 mg. In addition, because it contains propanedioic acid, it plays an important role in preventing the body from gaining weight and improving bodybuilding. Winter melon is cold in nature, and the flesh and flesh of melon has the effects of diuretic, heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, and thirst-quenching. It can also treat edema, phlegm asthma, heat, and hemorrhoids. Winter melon, such as boiled soup with the skin, can achieve the effect of reducing swelling and diuresis, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. If 1000 grams of wax gourd and 1 carp are boiled into soup with white water, chronic nephritis can be treated. Winter melon seeds (kernel) 30 to 50 grams, decoct with water, can treat chronic gastritis. Decoct the frosted wax gourd rind and a little honey with water to treat cough.
③Cucumber
Cucumber, formerly known as courgette, originated in India, and was introduced into my country when Zhang Sai was on his mission to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty. The meat is crispy and tender, juicy and sweet, with a special aroma. It is considered to be a “wonderful product for weight loss and beauty” and has been favored by people for a long time. According to modern pharmacological analysis and research, cucumber contains 98% water content, and contains vitamin C, carotene, and a small amount of carbohydrates, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other essential nutrients for the human body. Because cucumber contains a substance called “glycolic acid”, it has the effect of inhibiting the conversion of sugar into fat. Therefore, Xian believes that eating more cucumbers has the effect of losing weight. Cucumber juice is effective if used to cleanse and protect the skin, or mashed cucumber to smooth out wrinkles. If the skin is dark and rough due to sun exposure, rubbing the affected area with cucumber slices two or three times a day also has a good effect, because the cucumber oil contained in cucumber has a good effect on absorbing ultraviolet rays. Cucumber also contains cucurbitacin C, which has anti-tumor effects. In addition, eating more cucumbers can not only accelerate the excretion of spoilage substances in the intestines, but also reduce the function of cholesterol in the blood, so it is beneficial to patients with obesity, high cholesterol and arteriosclerosis. Although cucumber can be eaten as vegetables and fruits, it contains less vitamins and nutrients, so it should not be eaten alone. It is best to eat it with other vegetables and fruits in order to absorb the nutrients needed by the body.
④ Bamboo shoots
Bamboo shoots have been regarded as “treasures in dishes” since ancient times, and they are regarded as the first among vegetables. According to the analysis of general winter bamboo shoots, each hectogram contains 4 grams of protein, 0.1 grams of fat, 5.7 grams of carbohydrates, 22 milligrams of calcium, 56 milligrams of phosphorus, 0.1 grams of iron, and contains vitamins B1, B2 and C, and carotene etc. The protein it contains is relatively superior, and the human body needs lysine, tryptophan, threonine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid, cystine, etc., all of which have a certain content. In addition, it has the characteristics of low fat, low sugar and high fiber, so it can promote intestinal peristalsis, help digestion, and promote defecation, so it is an ideal weight loss vegetable. “Compendium of Materia Medica” records: bamboo shoots have the functions of quenching thirst, nourishing qi, reducing heat, eliminating phlegm, and refreshing the stomach. Cooking white rice porridge with fresh bamboo shoots can treat chronic diarrhea, chronic dysentery and prolapse of the anus. And bamboo shoots also have a good effect on the prevention and treatment of asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, polydipsia, insomnia, etc.
⑤Sweet potato
Sweet potato, commonly known as sweet potato, or sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato, etc. According to analysis, every hectogram of sweet potatoes contains 1.8 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of crude fiber, 29.5 grams of carbohydrates, 18 mg of calcium, 20 mg of phosphorus, and 0.4 mg of iron. Carotene 1.3 mg, ascorbic acid 30 mg, and other small amounts of thiamine and riboflavin. The reason why sweet potato has a weight loss effect is because it contains a large amount of mucin, which can maintain the elasticity of the human cardiovascular wall, prevent the occurrence of arteriosclerosis, and reduce subcutaneous fat. Therefore, eating regularly can prevent obesity, lower cholesterol levels, and prevent cardiovascular disease. Because the crude fiber contained in sweet potato is not easy to be absorbed in the intestine, it has the special function of preventing the conversion of sugar into fat, so sweet potato is an ideal weight loss food. At the same time, it can maintain the lubrication of the digestive tract, respiratory tract, joint cavity and serous cavity. Therefore, sweet potato is also a curative food for high blood pressure, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, constipation and other diseases. Sweet potato is not only a diet food, but also a health and longevity food, which is more suitable for the elderly. However, because it contains oxidase and crude fiber, a large amount of carbon dioxide gas will be produced in the human stomach and intestines, and the sugar content is high. If you eat too much, it will produce acid in the stomach, causing symptoms such as bloating. Therefore, sweet potatoes should be eaten cooked, not raw, and should not be eaten too much at one time.
