Perilla aldehyde is the aromatic component of perilla, which has the effect of stimulating the olfactory nerve, promoting gastric secretion and increasing appetite in the elderly.
When gastric juice is secreted sufficiently, the intestines can be activated and the activity of intestinal flora can increase, which can have a regulatory effect on the intestines.
Besides promoting gastric juice secretion, polyphenols in perilla also have strong antiseptic and antibacterial effects.
Alzheimer's disease is caused by the accumulation of β-amyloid protein in the brain. Rosmarinic acid found in perilla has the effect of inhibiting the accumulation of β-amyloid protein.
Red perilla juice contains anthocyanin, which can help prevent intestinal cancer, and the antioxidant effects of perilla can also protect health.
100 grams of perilla leaves contain about 230 mg of calcium, 1.7 mg of iron and 500 mg of potassium, which are very important for bones and teeth in the elderly. In particular, iron is an important ingredient, which helps promote the process of eliminating excess salt from the body.
Combining perilla juice with lemon not only makes the perilla color more beautiful but also improves the body's ability to absorb iron and calcium.
