各位朋友，大家好，现在是“每天健康三分钟”时间，我是安阳道简医院护士陈卫芳，今天我来给大家讲讲。立秋后第一大补食物竟是它，降糖降脂、抗衰护心！

立秋后为啥要吃藕，秋吃莲藕好处多

立秋之后，鲜藕成为餐桌上的常见菜肴。现存最早的中药学著作《神农本草经》中已有记载 ：藕“补中养神，益气力，除百病，久服轻身耐老。”

过了立秋，就开始进入进补季。有些人习惯用动物肉类来进补，其实有些素食的营养和滋补作用不亚于荤食，莲藕就是一种理想的素食。秋季吃莲藕有7大保健功效：

1、降糖降脂益肠道

藕富含膳食纤维，热量却不高，因而能控制体重，有助降低血糖和胆固醇水平，促进肠蠕动，预防便秘及痔疮，鲜藕生姜汁还可治疗肠道炎症。

2、抗衰防癌补维C

藕的含糖量不算很高，但含有较高的维生素 C，对于肝病、便秘、糖尿病等患者都十分有益；藕还富含多酚类物质，可以提高免疫力，缓解衰老进程，预防癌症。

3、止痛减压护心脏

藕中富含 B 群维生素（特别是维生素 B6），补充 B 族维生素有益减少烦躁，缓解头痛和减轻压力，进而改善心情，降低心脏病危险。

4、补血益神助消化

鲜藕含有丰富的铜、铁、钾、锌、镁和锰等微量元素，在块茎类食物中，莲藕含铁量较高，因此缺铁性贫血者最适宜吃藕，藕中的多种微量元素有益红细胞的产生，保持肌肉和神经正常工作，另外，这些营养素还有助分泌消化酶，改善消化。

5、稳定心率降血压

藕中钠钾比为1∶5，钠少钾多有益调节血压和心率，有益心脏及全身健康。

6、补充维K防出血

藕中含有丰富的维生素K，具有止血作用。鲜藕榨汁喝下，有助防止出血。

7、祛痰镇咳防哮喘

鲜藕汁也可用来治疗咳嗽、哮喘和肺炎等呼吸系统疾病。热莲藕茶具有镇咳祛痰的功效。
