When it comes to kidney nourishment, many people are very enthusiastic, especially men, who always think of similar points of "sexual strengthening". In fact, traditional Chinese medicine's kidney nourishment has a wide range, not only related to fertility and sexual function, but also to human growth and development, urinary, nerves, bones, aging and other systems and organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the role of the kidney runs through life, not only the regulation center of the human body, but also the source of life of the human body, and is responsible for the entire process of growth, development, aging and death. Therefore, the kidney is the basis of the five internal organs.
In life, there are many foods for kidney-tonifying treatment, but the most commonly used foods for people are black beans . People simply understand it as "black enters the kidney". Because traditional Chinese medicine believes that black belongs to water, and water flows through the kidneys, so people with kidney deficiency can dispel wind and heat, regulate the middle and lower qi, detoxify and diuretic. According to the ancient medical book "Compendium of Materia Medica", it has been recorded: "Black beans enter the kidneys for a lot of function, so they can cure water, relieve swelling and lower qi." "Yannian Milu": "Take black beans can make people grow the skin, improve color, fill the essence, and increase strength."
It can be seen from this that the function of black beans to nourish the kidneys with traditional Chinese medicine is well deserved. Next, from the perspective of modern nutritional , what ingredients are contained in black beans, what nutritional value is it, and whether people with kidney function damage can eat black beans in modern medicine. Let’s analyze it:
The ingredients and nutritional value contained in black beans:
black beans belong to soybeans. Soybeans are rich in protein , unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, potassium, vitamin E, dietary fiber, etc. The protein content in black beans is 36 grams per 100 grams. The composition and proportion of essential amino acid is similar to that of animal protein , and contains lysine , which is lacking in cereal protein. It can complement proteins with cereals. The unsaturated fatty acids in black beans are 15.9%, mostly linoleic acid in unsaturated fatty acids, and also contain more phospholipids; carbohydrate 33.6%, half of which are dietary fiber, oligosaccharide , and in addition, it is rich in potassium, 1377 mg per 100 grams, and it also contains a variety of health-friendly ingredients, such as soy isoflavones , plant sterol , soy saponin, etc.
From the above, black beans are foods with high nutritional value. Not only does they contain comprehensive nutritional components, but modern medical research also shows that soybeans or their products can reduce the risk of various cancers such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and breast cancer .
Looking at the "kidney-tonifying effect" of black beans in modern medicine:
The kidney is the innate foundation, mainly storing essence, qi, and spirit. Essence is the most basic substance to maintain life, in a liquid state, and is responsible for a person's reproductive essence. However, protein is an important part of the body's cells and the main material for producing male sperm. It can promote the promotion of secretion functions and improve its quality and quantity. Black beans are rich in high-quality protein and are also an important source of protein for the body (of course, not only black beans, but also soybeans such as soybeans).
Vitamin E has a certain physiological effect on embryos and reproduction, and can improve the decline of sexual function. Zinc not only enhances immunity, but also regulates hormones and promotes growth and development. Soy isoflavones can improve bone density and regulate estrogen secretion. The content of vitamin E, soy isoflavones and zinc in black beans is relatively high. However, the absorption and utilization rate of zinc in black beans is not as good as that of animal foods.
Generally speaking, black beans are rich in protein, vitamin E, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium, which enhance the body's immunity, strengthen strength, and improve essence, energy, and spirit. They are all good foods.
