In his Telegram channel, gastroenterologist Sergei Vyalov stated that one edible weed can have a positive effect on health.
As the doctor noted, we are talking about nettles, which are an excellent ingredient for soup.
Vyalov noted that it all depends on the amount of vitamin K in the plant.
He recalled that the vitamin has a positive effect on the condition of bones and helps to cope with atherosclerosis, cholesterol and diabetes.
But the benefits don't end there.
The fact is that vitamin K can reduce the risk of cancer. But to do this, you need to eat up to 50-100 mcg of this substance per day.
At the same time, 100 grams of nettle can contain up to 500 mcg of this substance. Therefore, it is important to consume the product in moderation so as not to provoke health problems.
Weed-based soup improves immunity and digestion.
In addition to nettles, you can choose spinach, parsley, cilantro or Brussels sprouts.
