Kale contains high inulin fiber, polyphenols and especially Sesquiterpene lactones, a natural bitter active ingredient that can activate liver enzymes.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH):
Inulin in lakewood increases the activity of the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST), an important defense line that helps the liver neutralize toxins.
extracts from pandan leaves help reduce liver fat, reduce liver cell inflammation through the regulation mechanism of NF-κB, a key inflammatory factor in fatty liver and mild hepatitis.
An analysis by the Journal of Functional Foods shows that the bitter compounds in kale stimulate the gallbladder and increase bile secretion, thereby increasing the ability to excrete fat and fat-soluble toxins.
This is especially helpful for people who eat a lot of oil, drink alcohol or are at risk of fatty liver.
Kale, in addition to its ability to support the liver, also contains lactucin and lactucopicrin, natural compounds that have a mild sedative effect, help relax and improve sleep.
Lactucin has the same effect as adenosine receptors in the brain, a natural mechanism that helps the body switch to a resting mode, reducing nerve stimulation.
Eating lettuce or lettuce tea in the evening can reduce difficulty sleeping and improve sleep depth.
Research from the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules also shows:
Inulin from lakewood helps stabilize blood sugar at night, reduce moderate sleepiness and improve sleep quality.
Who should eat lettuce at this time?
People with fatty liver, high liver enzymes, or alcohol consumption.
People are stressed, have difficulty sleeping, and do not sleep deeply.
People who eat a lot of fatty foods.
People with constipation and poor digestive function.
should be boiled or lightly steamed: retain a lot of Polyphenols;
Make salad with olive oil: increase antioxidant absorption; Cook soup with shrimp or lean meat: good for people with high liver and protein;
Drink lake root tea: take 1-2 hours before bed to relax.
You can eat 80-120g of fresh vegetables/day; root tea: 1-2 cups/day.
Do not take too much for people with diarrhea (because it is cool and rich in in inulin).
