The bone on the tip of the tongue is healthy: the four vegetables that replenish the "backbone" the most!

1. Onion

If you want to have strong bones, grow taller and avoid osteoporosis, eat more onions.

The latest research report in the authoritative journal Nature points out that onions are the best vegetables to prevent bone loss. Onions are even better at preventing bone loss than osteoporosis drugs.

The researchers asked male rats to eat one gram of dried onions a day, and after a week, the bones of male rats increased by an average of 13.5%.

Another group of experiments found that feeding rats a mixture of vegetables containing onions also reduced bone loss.

The third group of experiments, in which ovariectomized female rats were asked to eat 1.5 grams of onions a day, reduced the rate of bone loss by 25%.

2. Leek

In traditional Chinese medicine, leek has a very loud name called "Yang grass", which has the effects of invigorating the stomach, refreshing, relieving perspiration and astringent, tonifying the kidney and helping yang, fixing essence and so on.

Eating more leeks is very effective in preventing and curing the sour and cold waist and knees.

The efficacy of leek is wonderful:

1) injury caused by fall

Smash the leek and apply it to the injured place to reduce swelling, relieve pain and stop bleeding.

Three portions of fresh leek and one portion of flour are pounded into paste and applied to the injured area twice a day.

2) treatment of sprain and low back pain

Raw leek or leek root 30g, cut fine, add rice wine 90ml, boil, drink while hot, daily 1-2 dose, can treat sprain, low back pain.

3. Spinach

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that spinach with tofu is a perfect match to supplement calcium and strengthen bones.

Some studies have shown that calcium is closely related to acid-base balance. When excessive intake of protein foods, acid-base imbalance, the human body's calcium excretion will increase. Spinach is rich in potassium and magnesium, which can help maintain acid-base balance and reduce calcium excretion, which is very good for bone health.

100 grams of spinach contains 311 milligrams of potassium and 58 milligrams of magnesium, ranking first among vegetables. In addition, spinach contains a lot of vitamin K, which can promote the formation of bone calcium.

Tofu, which is rich in calcium and protein, plus spinach, which is rich in potassium, magnesium and vitamin K, is a perfect match for calcium and bone.

Spinach is rich in oxalic acid, although oxalic acid is one of the factors that cause kidney stones, but if you eat more calcium-rich foods and let calcium and oxalic acid "merge" in the pot or mouth, you can eliminate some of the effects of oxalic acid.

Epidemiological studies have also shown that when eating more calcium from food, the risk of kidney stones is reduced. Only a large intake of calcium tablets will increase the risk of kidney stones.

If you are worried about the problem of oxalic acid, the method is simple: oxalic acid is soluble in water. Just blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute to remove more than 80% oxalic acid. Fortunately, vitamin K is not afraid of heat and does not dissolve in water.

4. Cabbage

Cabbage, the scientific name cabbage, from the Euro-Mediterranean region, is one of the most important vegetables in the West.

In ancient times, cabbage was so respected for its medicinal properties that the Greeks and Romans even regarded it as a "panacea".

According to traditional Chinese medicine, cabbage is sweet and flat, non-toxic, has the effects of tonifying pulp, tonifying joints, strengthening muscles and bones, benefiting the five internal organs, regulating six viscera, clearing heat and relieving pain.

According to nutritionists, cabbage has three times more vitamins than tomatoes, so it has strong antioxidant and anti-aging effects.

At the same time, cabbage, like cauliflower and broccoli, is rich in folic acid, so pregnant women, people with anemia and developing children should eat more cabbage.
