According to Phytomedicine, fish lettuce contains many biological compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, thereby contributing to protecting liver cells from damage.
Fish lettuce contains vitamins and minerals such as lipids, glucids, protides, potassium, cellulose, methylnonylketon essential oils, vitamin C... which can support reducing blood fat and detoxifying the liver.
How to eat fish lettuce to help support liver detoxification:
- Eat fish lettuce raw: Fish lettuce after being washed with diluted salt water can be used directly. Recommended daily intake is about 20-40g to avoid causing abdominal cold or nausea when using too much. You can eat it with rolls or dip it in sauce to enhance the flavor and make it easier to eat.
- Drink fish lettuce water: Prepare a handful of fish lettuce, wash it with diluted salt water for about 3 minutes, then pick out the leaves and drain. Put the vegetables in a blender with a little filtered water, blend until smooth and then filter out the juice. You can add ice or a little sugar depending on your taste to make it easier to drink.
- In addition, combining fish lettuce water with coconut water is also an option to enhance the flavor and add health benefits.
Like many other vegetables, adding fish lettuce to your daily diet can bring certain health benefits. However, according to the recommendations of medical experts, users should still use it in reasonable doses and monitor the body's reactions.
In particular, people with sensitive constitutions, easily cold stomachs or having digestive problems should consult a doctor before using regularly to ensure safety.
