Fourth, high cellulose content

Violet in the purple clams has high cellulose content. According to the determination, the content of crude fiber in purple clams is 1.34%. Cellulose has a filling intestine, increases fecal volume, promotes intestinal peristalsis, and promotes the secretion and reduction of digestive juice. Cholesterol absorption and other effects. Therefore, regular consumption of purple purple rice industry, to prevent arteriosclerosis, prevent colon cancer has a great benefit.

V. Rich content of trace elements

1, iron nutrition and health effects

Purple rice is rich in iron, according to the determination: per kilogram purple rice purple rice, iron content than polished rice, high 248.3%, the significance of human nutrition and health is very important.

Therefore, regular consumption of purple purple rice, to ensure the body calcium balance, prevention of colon cancer, prevention and treatment of menopausal osteoporosis, prevention of muscle spasms, lower blood pressure, protect bones and teeth from lead poisoning, maintain a strong bone It has a certain effect on healthy teeth and ease insomnia.

3, zinc nutrition and health effects

Purple rice is rich in zinc. According to the determination, the zinc content per kilogram purple rice is 81.8% higher than that in polished rice, which is important for maintaining growth and health.

It is important to maintain growth and health. Therefore, purple glutinous rice is frequently consumed to ensure the body's need for selenium, a necessary trace mineral. It has a role in preventing the formation of free radicals in order to protect the immune system, prevent cancer, prevent hot flashes of menopausal fever and other diseases during menopause, prevent heart disease and blood circulation diseases, and prevent dandruff. Studies have shown that selenium is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is a strong antioxidant and acts like a vitamin, but it is more effective.
