What are the functions and functions of the superfood green tube

The mainstream superfood Little Green Tube currently on the market is essentially a low-temperature concentrated powder of dark green highly nutritious ingredients such as kale, young barley leaves, spirulina, and chlorella. Its core function is to make up for the lack of intake of green leafy vegetables in the daily diet and supplement dietary fiber. , folic acid, flavonoids, magnesium and potassium and other trace elements can have a certain effect on constipation and minor abnormalities in metabolic indicators caused by insufficient dietary fiber intake. However, they are definitely not the "miracle weight loss medicine" or "anti-cancer weapon" promoted by merchants. Excessive use may increase the burden on the body.

Xiao Zhou, who works as an Internet operator next to me, used to eat takeout that was heavy in oil and salt every day. He couldn’t eat a serious meal of green leafy vegetables a week. He often spent more than 20 minutes squatting on the toilet. When he woke up in the morning, his breath was so heavy that he even disliked it. Last year, a physical examination showed that homocysteine was slightly high. The doctor said it was caused by a lack of folic acid and group B. Later, he drank a small green tube from a reliable brand for about 20 days, mixing it with half a cup of warm yogurt every morning. The first thing he noticed was that his bowel movements became regular. It could be resolved within ten minutes after getting up in the morning. The homocysteine ​​level returned to the normal range when retested last month.

But this thing is not useful for everyone. My cousin is a fitness enthusiast. She eats more than 500g of dark green vegetables every day. A while ago, I saw a blogger saying that drinking a small green tube can help you lose ten pounds in a month. Following the trend, I bought three boxes and drank one. Months later, her weight did not move at all. Instead, because of her weak kidney metabolism, the high potassium content in the small green tube exceeded her metabolic needs. She felt a little weak and sleepy for several days in a row. When she went to the nutrition department, the doctor said that "excessive supplementation is a waste and will harm the body."

The evaluation of the little green tube on the Internet is now polarized. To a large extent, it is due to the exaggerated propaganda of the merchants. The claims that drinking it to lose 5 pounds in 7 days, anti-aging and whitening, and prevent cancer are all nonsense. After all, no matter how concentrated it is, it is just vegetable powder. If it really has such miraculous effects, the hospital nutrition department would have fully promoted it long ago. There are also many cheap three-free small green tubes that illegally add laxative ingredients in order to allow consumers to see the "defecation effect" quickly. Drinking them will cause diarrhea. Long-term drinking will destroy the intestinal flora, which is not worth the gain.

To be honest, I would wear two small green tubes when I am on a business trip or catching up on projects and have no time to eat. I drink them to feel at ease, but I will never touch them when I can eat fresh green leafy vegetables at home - just like wearing a raincoat for emergencies when it rains without an umbrella. You can't leave a comfortable jacket without wearing it every day, and wrap yourself in a raincoat every day when going out, right?
