Hibiscus sabdariffa L., also known as Rascala, Rose goose, and in the West, Hibiscus or Roselle, is basically the direct sound translation of the English name Roselle. Rosen is a hot-belly plant widely used in food, beverages and health products. It originated from India and is distributed in the hot zone and Asia region. Taiwan was introduced from Singapore in 1910 by the Japanese who was the Japanese in the Governor's Office. It is now mainly grown in the Huadong region because the climate there is warm and is especially suitable for the growth of the Los Angeles.
The Los Angelica flower is an annual woody herb of the hibiscus family Alanaceae family. It is similar to the hibiscus (or Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) used to treat it, and the appearance of the flower is similar. In fact, it is a bit misleading to call it "flower" because the part we usually eat is not the petals, but the calyx part left after the petals fall. Therefore, after the flower of the Rose is harvested, there is also a complicated process that requires the seeds inside to be removed.
The most common way to eat Luoshen is to be used as flower tea, or processed into sugar honey or fruit sauce. Rosen flower tastes very sour because it contains rich organic acids. Moreover, it will appear in a red brown color when brewing tea, because the rosea contains rich water-soluble anthocyanins, which dissolves during brewing tea. In addition, the Rosaris can also be used to scent a hot-belt fruit salad, or to make fruit.
In addition to rich organic acids and vitamin C, Roshen is most well-known for its rich in phytochemicals, such as anthocyanins, ketones, polyphenols, etc. similar to blueberries. Therefore, it has a variety of health care effects, including cosmetic skin care, lipid regulation, cardiovascular protection, liver health, etc., especially in preventing urinary tract infections in women. It has obtained many scientific evidence. It is a health food with this effect except cranberries.
What are the ingredients of Luoshen?Rosenaceae contains rich organic acids, such as citric acid, apple acid, vitamin C, and minerals such as cinnabar, calcium, and cinnabar. The most special thing about Roshen is that contains polyphenols with high antioxidant properties. According to analysis, every 100 grams of Roshen contains up to 90 mg of total polyphenols. These polyphenols include anthocyanidins, flavonoids, protocatechuic acids, and isoflavonoids.
What are the effects of Luoshen flower?In Chinese traditional medicine, Luo Shenhua is widely used for its effects such as clearing heat, diuresis, and quenching thirst. Now, with the advancement of scientific technology, research on Lossia is becoming more and more in-depth, and it has been found that it has many other effects, including preventing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, reducing triglycerides and cysterols in the serum, reducing oxidative hepatic injury, reducing fatty liver and cleavage, and preventing urinary tract infections. Therefore, many biotechnical factories are optimistic about Luoshenhua and have developed Luoshenhua as health foods. Some products have even obtained health food certification.
Lowering blood lipids and pyrosterolThe team of Zhongshan Medical College in Taiwan published research evidence in international journals that pyroshen flower has the reaction to prevent low-density pyrosterol (LDL) oxidation, and can also reduce the body's blood lipid concentration, thereby achieving the opportunity to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases or reduce the sclerosis of the asteroid.
Animal experiments also found that Rosenia extract can reduce the triglycerides in the blood by nearly 50% of the blood, which also has the effect of adjusting blood lipids.
Protect the cardiovascularAntioxidant components such as ketonemin, protothenic acid, anthocyanins in the extract of Lossen can eliminate harmful molecules of reactive oxygen species and prevent free radicals from attacking the blood vessel walls and causing damage to blood vessels. Therefore, animal experiments also prove that Luo Shenhua has the function of preventing dysfunction and hardening. It helps Xin Chen Daixie
Luo Shenhua has rich organic acids and can help clear the lactic acid pile. Antioxidants such as anthocyanins also help promote blood circulation in microvascular. The Los Angelica flower also contains rich delirium, so it also has a diuretic effect, which can also increase the New Chen Daixi.
Hepatic protectionAnimal experiments found that Luoshen flower extract can reduce the liver function index GOP and GPT, so it has the effect of protecting the liver.
Prevention of urinary tract infection in women (UTI)mentions the efficacy of preventing urinary tract infection in women, and cranberry anthocyanins are the most well-known to women. However, recently, through study by scholars in France and other places, Lossus has also shown good effects in preventing urinary tract infections in women.
Infection of urinary tract by bacteria (mainly bacteria such as macrocetes from the anus) can cause repeated inflammation, scratching, excessive secretions and distractions in women's urinary tract. In Taiwan's tidal and humid environment, women are more likely to suffer from urinary tract infection. Lossus contains rich organic acids and polyphenols, which have antibacterial properties on microorganisms, and has good antibacterial effects on pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Candida albicans, and Vibiro cholera. Experiments show that Rosen flower extract can lower the pH value of urine and acidify urine, which helps inhibit bacterial growth. Studies have shown that eating Rosen flower extract can reduce the urinary tract infection rate by 89% and reduce the repeated infection rate by using women who have experienced urinary tract infection..
The team of the Chinese Medical College in Taiwan has studied and found that the function of Luoshenhua to prevent urinary tract infection may also be partly due to the anti-inflammatory effect of Luoshenhua.
Is Luoshen safe? What are the taboos?Rosari is a natural food with a long history of consumption and is safe to eat. However, Roshen is very sour and has a high polyphenol content, and has a strong taste. Therefore, whether it is brewing tea or making honey or fruit sauce, a lot of sugar will be added to the mouth for the best place. Please pay attention to the sugar and the heat.
At the same time, because Rosenia is highly acidic and has high polyphenol content, if people with sensitive stomach or have gastroesophageal reflux, please note that Rosenia is still slightly irritating and avoid eating in large quantities on an empty stomach.
