I like bamboo shoots, which contain a lot of dietary fiber. Bamboo shoots, like tofu, have no flavor on their own, but can add a lot of seasonings. This way you can add seasonings to your liking and make a variety of flavors. I love to use it for stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots and stir-fried bamboo shoots with green peppers.
The benefits of eating bamboo shoots usually include the following:
1. Enhance the body's immunity. Bamboo shoots contain a large amount of protein, vitamins, trace elements, and other substances. Eating bamboo shoots in moderation can increase the immune system of patients and enhance their resistance to diseases.
2. Prevent constipation. Bamboo shoots contain a large amount of dietary fiber and water, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, help patients defecate, and thus prevent constipation. And it can also increase the body's sense of fullness, which can help patients lose weight.
3. Diuretics. Bamboo shoots have a certain diuretic effect, which can eliminate excess water from the body, reduce the state of high blood volume load, and also reduce the water in tissue gaps, improving the body's metabolism.
4. Resolve phlegm and relieve cough. The patient may experience coughing and phlegm due to lung heat. Eating some bamboo shoots appropriately can have good effects on moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm, and stopping cough.
However, patients with osteoporosis are not recommended to consume bamboo shoots, as the oxalic acid in bamboo shoots can affect calcium absorption.
