黑豆有豆中之王的美称。黑豆的营养丰富而且很全面,许多研究揭发黑豆对健康带来的效益。大家都知道,素食者不得食用动物来源的食物。素食者可把豆类当成替代食品以摄取足够的蛋白质,因为豆类含有大量的蛋白质。

豆类中有绿豆,黑豆,豆荚等。其中对健康最受益的是黑豆。黑豆含有大量人体所需的营养物质,如维生素K,维生素C​​,锰,维生素A膳食纤维,钾叶酸铁,镁,硫胺素,核黄素钙,磷,蛋白质,ω- 3脂肪酸和烟酸

黑豆也富含纤维,这些营养素对于预防胆固醇氧化及心脏疾病扮演着重要的角色。黑豆脂肪含有较多的不饱和脂肪酸,熔点低,易于消化吸收,不会沉积在血管壁上。其最大特点是含有植物固醇,植物固醇不但被人体吸收,而且能抑制胆固醇的吸收。
黑豆对年轻女性来说,还有美容养颜的功效。黑豆含有丰富的维生素,其中E族和B族维生素含量最高,维生素E的含量比肉类高5~7倍。众所周知,维生素E是一种相当重要的保持青春健美的物质。古人虽不知道黑豆中含有较多的维生素E,却从实践中得知它是一种美容食品。如古代药典上曾记载黑豆可驻颜、明目、乌发,使皮肤白嫩等。

High cholesterol- a magnet to moisquitoes 蚊子爱叮胆固醇高的人

Are you a magnet to mosquitoes ?

According to BCC news, French researchers found that mosquitoes like to bite those with high cholesterol and vitamin-B rich.

University of Florida, U.S. entomologist Jerry Butler found that mosquitoes are not beggars, they have the ability to track down the best hosts for their blood meals. Butler pointed out that those body rich in cholesterol and vitamin-B become moisquitoes favourite target. Moiquitoes need cholesterol and vitamin-B to survive but cant make them on their own.

Mosquitoes find their hosts, initially, through a keen sense of smell. They use odor to sort the most attractive host among the crowd. When a person exhales, their carbon dioxide and other odors mix to produce a signal that travels through the air from 40 miles away. The signal acts like a dinner bell to mosquitoes, letting them know a juicy meal is within range. Mosquitoes fly up the signal in zigzag pattern until they arrive, then localize on skin and explore patiently the best spot and start sucking blood from 8 to 10 seconds by inserting the needle into the skin.

So, if you find yourself from mosquitoes bites, please check on your cholesterol status.



您经常被蚊子叮咬吗?

据中广新闻报导,法国研究人员发现,蚊子最喜欢叮咬的是血液里富含胆固醇和维生素B的人。

美国佛罗里达大学昆虫学家杰里·巴特勒的研究也显示,蚊子吸人血并非饥不择食,它们会找到体味最具吸引力的人“下嘴”。巴特勒指出凡是体内有丰富胆固醇和维生素B的人士最受蚊子青睐,因为蚊子也需要靠这两种东西生存,但它们本身却不能制造这两种物质。

此外蚊子具有很强的嗅觉能力,能利用气味从人群中物色最适合它们“胃口”的对象。当人类呼出二氧化碳和其他气味时,这些气味会在空气中40里外扩散,而这些气味就好像是开饭的铃声,告诉蚊子一顿美餐就在眼前。蚊子跟踪它的目标时,总是随着人呼出的气味曲折前进,直到接触到目标为止,然后就落到皮肤上耐心寻找“突破口”,最后才把针管直接插入皮肤里吸血8到10秒钟。

所以,当您发现自己经常被蚊子叮咬时,不妨去了解一下胆固醇状况。
