Bamboo shoots are a familiar food in Vietnamese meals. Bamboo shoots are rich in fiber, and also contain plant protein, fat, carbohydrates, carotes, vitamins B1, B2, iron and magnesium. As a result, bamboo shoots help detoxify the body, promote bowel movements, prevent constipation and support liver protection.
The liver is considered a silent organ of the body because it often does not issue a warning signal until it is seriously damaged. Instead of abusing liver protection drugs, maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding mold and rot is a more effective and safer way to protect the liver.
In addition, magnesium in bamboo shoots also has anti-cancer effects, helping the body stay healthy. However, not everyone should eat a lot of bamboo shoots.
People with stomach ulcers, duodenum ulcers, or people after surgery for colorectal cancer should limit eating bamboo shoots, because they need a diet low in fiber and low in waste.
People with kidney failure also need to reduce their bamboo shoots to avoid absorbing too much potassium, which affects kidney function.
For people with high blood pressure, eating fresh bamboo shoots can help control blood pressure, but you should avoid processed bamboo shoots such as tendons, dried bamboo shoots or canned bamboo shoots because they often contain high sodium content, which can easily increase blood pressure.
