Eat these five vegetables regularly: they lower blood lipids and blood pressure and also help prevent cancer

1. Artemisia selengensis (Indian wormwood)

Every 100 g of Artemisia selengensis contains 0.24 g of fat and 4.2 g of protein, making it a healthy vegetable that is high in protein and low in fat. At the same time, the total flavonoid content in Artemisia selengensis is relatively high, which has a certain effect on lowering blood lipids and blood pressure and on preventing cardiovascular disease.

2. Garland chrysanthemum

Garland chrysanthemum is rich in nutrients, especially carotene, containing 1.5 mg per 100 g, which is 2 to 3 times higher than vegetables such as tomatoes and pumpkins, and is very good for protecting eyesight. When cooking, stir-frying it with meat or eggs can increase the utilization rate of vitamin A. Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Shizhi" records that garland chrysanthemum can "calm the mind and qi, nourish the spleen and stomach, dissolve phlegm and fluid retention, and benefit the intestines and stomach."

3. Broad bean

Broad beans contain a large amount of protein, and the variety of amino acids is relatively complete, especially rich in lysine. Broad beans also contain important components that regulate the brain and nerve tissue, such as calcium, zinc, manganese and phospholipids, and have a brain-boosting effect that enhances memory.

4. Pea

Fresh peas not only have a rich protein content but also good protein quality, containing all the amino acids necessary for the human body, and regular consumption will be of great benefit to children's growth and development. The crude fiber rich in fresh peas has the effects of cleansing the intestines, lowering cholesterol and preventing cancer.

5. Asparagus

Although asparagus looks rather firm, it tastes tender and delicious, and its vitamin C content is higher than that of oranges and tangerines, so it can enhance the body's immunity and prevent colds. It also contains substances such as potassium and saponins, and has a good effect on regulating blood lipids and blood pressure.
