However, foreign experts believe that despite many potential benefits, eating fish lettuce too often still needs to be considered to avoid affecting health.
According to a study published in the US National Library of Medicine, fish lettuce contains many antioxidants, flavonoids and natural essential oils. Scientists have noted that this vegetable has anti-inflammatory, immune-supporting and antibacterial properties in some preclinical studies.
However, experts recommend not using fish lettuce continuously every day for a long time as a "miracle drug" to detoxify. Fish lettuce is cold in nature, if used too much can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea or digestive discomfort, especially in people with sensitive digestive systems.
Some international experts also note that people with kidney disease or poor liver and kidney function should consult a doctor before using it regularly. Prolonged abuse of fish lettuce can increase the metabolic burden on the body in some special cases.
In addition, fish lettuce is often eaten raw, so the risk of infection with parasites or bacteria may increase if not processed thoroughly. People should soak it in diluted salt water and wash it under running water before use.
Nutrition experts believe that fish lettuce is still a beneficial food if eaten in moderation, combined with a variety of other green vegetables instead of overusing for a long time. A balanced diet with a healthy lifestyle is an important factor in protecting long-term health.
