A friend of a friend has cholecystitis. Seeing her sallow face, I thought of black fungus while making a recipe for her. Because black fungus is incredibly nutritious, it can be considered an all-around food among vegetables.
1. A great product for beauty and skincare
Black fungus is rich in protein, with a content comparable to animal foods, earning it the reputation of "the meat among vegetables." In addition, it has a very high content of Vitamin E, making it excellent for whitening the skin. Most importantly, it has the highest iron content of all foods. When it comes to iron supplementation, people generally think of spinach, lean meat, and animal liver as being rich in it. In fact, black fungus has the highest iron content of all foods, over 20 times that of spinach and more than 7 times that of pork liver. Therefore, it is an excellent food source for nourishing beauty, replenishing blood, and preventing iron-deficiency anemia.
2. Weight loss, detoxification, and preventing stones
Black fungus is rich in cellulose and a special plant collagen. These two substances can promote gastrointestinal motility, prevent constipation, and help the timely removal and excretion of toxic substances from the body. They also have a certain effect in dissolving endogenous foreign bodies such as gallstones and kidney stones. For those with initial cholecystitis and initial stones, eating 1-2 servings of black fungus daily can relieve symptoms such as pain and nausea within 2-5 days.
3. Preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Black fungus contains Vitamin K and abundant minerals such as calcium and magnesium. It can reduce blood clots and prevent conditions like thrombosis, and has the effect of preventing and treating atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
Black fungus has the effect of activating blood and preventing clotting, so it is not suitable for people with bleeding disorders. Pregnant women should not eat too much of it.
Normal people should consume 10-15g daily.
