One of the concerns of parents is that their children do not eat vegetables. If you force feed it, it will actually have the opposite effect. Why should you eat vegetables? Because it is good for your body. However, even as adults, there are people who dislike vegetables and only find sweet fruits. If this lifestyle continues for a long time, it is inevitable that your body will suffer. Why?
I hated vegetables and fruits… Why diabetes causes blood vessels to deteriorate and gain weight
Vegetables and fruits contain many nutrients, including vitamins, but dietary fiber cannot be left out. It reduces the absorption of cholesterol and triglycerides that enter the intestines through other foods, helping to improve blood and blood vessel health and prevent obesity. It also helps prevent and manage diabetes by slowing down the absorption of glucose (carbohydrates) and preventing rapid rises in blood sugar levels. If you do not eat vegetables or fruits for a long period of time and only like rice, bread, and noodles, these benefits will be greatly reduced and your body may suffer.
Reasons why it is good for preventing colon cancer… Reduces the time that carcinogens come into contact with the intestinal mucosa
According to the National Cancer Information Center, eating a lot of dietary fiber lowers the likelihood of developing colon cancer. Dietary fiber dilutes bad contents in the large intestine and reduces the time they pass through the intestines, thereby promoting bowel movements. By reducing the time that carcinogens are in contact with the intestinal mucosa, the risk of developing cancer is lowered. Dietary fiber also plays a role in preventing frequent constipation and foul-smelling farts.
If you frequently eat fatty foods, you increase the secretion of bile acid, which irritates the colonic mucosa. At this time, it is converted into a carcinogen by bacteria in the intestines, causing the colonic epithelium to grow abnormally. Calcium in vegetables and fruits combines with dietary fiber, bile acids, and fatty acids to prevent these ingredients from acting negatively on colonic epithelial cells. It helps prevent colon cancer.
Whole grains such as brown rice and barley, and seaweed such as seaweed are also rich in dietary fiber.
According to data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, it is best to keep dietary fiber intake at 25-30% of total calories during meals. Dietary fiber, which is good for blood-vascular health, blood sugar management, and intestinal health, is also found in whole grains such as brown rice and barley, and seaweed such as seaweed and kelp. If you eat barley rice with side dishes and seaweed, you don’t have to worry about lack of dietary fiber. Reducing saturated fat, which is found in meat fats and processed foods, to less than 10% and consistently engaging in moderate-intensity exercise (at a conversational level) for at least 30 minutes a day will greatly help manage blood sugar and obesity.
Drink plenty of water… People with weak digestive function or kidneys should be careful.
Foods high in dietary fiber also contain water, but it may be insufficient. Dietary fiber absorbs moisture from the intestines and increases the amount of stool, so if moisture is insufficient, the stool becomes hard and there is a risk of constipation. You should make up for these shortcomings by drinking enough water. People with weak digestive function have difficulty digesting dietary fiber, so it is good to eat it. Vegetables and fruits are high in potassium, so people with kidney problems should be careful because they are at risk of hyperkalemia.
