Comfortable Green Pea

Today, I had no appetite, so I ate some peas. I also had peas for lunch, and since I couldn't think of anything else for dinner, I plan to eat peas again. My mother boiled them and gave them to me, so I'm finishing them up today~ They are sweet and tasty even without any sauce.

While eating, I became curious about the benefits of green peas, so I looked it up. I'm sharing it with you, so please take a moment to read it when you have time^^

◇ Benefits of Green Peas

Peas contain protein, fat, carbohydrates, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, B2, niacin, and other nutrients. Among them, phosphorus is abundant, with 400mg per 100g.

Dietary fiber is also abundant, helping to improve intestinal environment and prevent intestinal diseases, and it has the effect of lowering cholesterol levels. Compared to other beans, it has a lower protein content and a higher starch content, making it sweeter, but unlike refined sugar, it is absorbed more slowly by the human body.

Additionally, the ingredient called chrome is involved in carbohydrate metabolism, reducing cravings for sugar and preventing sugar addiction. The ingredient called choline is helpful for people who frequently consume alcohol, and consuming peas can aid in alcohol detoxification.

It is also rich in minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These components have the effect of preventing hypertension, a major cause of heart disease. Additionally, the fiber found in peas helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels, thereby preventing cardiovascular diseases.

It is also rich in isoflavones, which act as antioxidants. These compounds eliminate harmful oxygen produced by exposure to sunlight, protecting collagen. Isoflavones are similar in composition to female hormones and help reduce osteoporosis, improve cholesterol levels, and prevent breast and prostate cancers.
