2. Lower blood pressure: It can protect blood vessels and heart very well.

There are three reasons:

1. Grasshopper contains a lot of potassium. When the human body ingests potassium, it enters the blood through the body's reaction and directly acts on the blood vessel wall, reducing the accumulation of sodium in the myocardium, increasing the power to push the blood, dilating the blood vessel wall, preventing the thickening of the arterial wall, and protecting the blood vessels, which can prevent and reduce the risk of stroke caused by high blood pressure.

2. Grasshopper contains ω-3 fatty acids. Since ω-3 fatty acids can lower blood lipids and blood viscosity, prevent atherosclerosis, and delay thrombosis, they can effectively prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease and obesity.

3. Grasshopper vegetables also contain a lot of vitamin E, vitamin C, carotene, glutathione and other anti-aging active ingredients. Regular consumption can prevent platelet aggregation, coronary artery spasm and thrombosis, thereby effectively preventing coronary heart disease and protecting the heart.

3. Anti-aging and anti-cancer: There are three reasons: First, the carotene in grasshopper vegetables is a natural antioxidant that can resist aging and prevent cancer; second, grasshopper vegetables are rich in trace elements such as selenium, which is an element that has obvious anti-cancer, anti-aging and immunity-enhancing effects. According to relevant information, selenium can inhibit liver cancer, skin cancer and lymphoma induced by chemical carcinogens; third, the vitamin E in grasshopper vegetables is a natural antioxidant that can resist aging.

4. Auxiliary treatment of vitiligo: Purslane is rich in copper. Free copper in the human body is an important component of tyrosinase. Regular consumption of purslane can increase the density of melanocytes in the epidermis and the activity of tyrosinase in melanocytes. It is an excellent auxiliary food therapy for patients with vitiligo and patients with premature graying of hair due to copper deficiency.
