Top 6 Benefits Of Nut Grass

 




Tiger nuts, also called chuff, yellow nut-sedge, or earth almonds, are actually tubers that can be eaten. They are not nuts. They have been linked to numerous health benefits due to their abundance of various nutrients. The six new health benefits of tiger nuts are as follows


Boost Libido

Tiger nuts have been used for libido enhancement in the past. Ayurveda prescribes them as aphrodisiacs. Tiger nuts have also been used by Nigerian men for generations to treat erectile dysfunction, boost sperm count, and increase libido. However, very few studies have examined these alleged aphrodisiac properties. However, there are no studies on using tiger nuts as an aphrodisiac in humans, so more research is needed before any conclusions can be drawn. One mouse study demonstrated that tiger nuts helped preserve testicular weight and sperm production after exposure to heavy metals.


Boost Immune System 

May help you fight infections and strengthen your immune system. Tiger nuts may contribute to stronger immune systems.

Tiger nut extracts were tested against a variety of bacteria that can infect humans in a test-tube study. Similar results were found in a subsequent cell study of the extract's effectiveness against E. coli, Staphylococcus, and Salmonella bacteria. The researchers added that tiger nut extracts may also be effective against infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. However, additional research is required before firm conclusions can be drawn


Heart Health

This is in part due to their high content of monounsaturated fats, which give them a fat profile similar to that of olive oil, a heart-healthy oil. Diets high in monounsaturated fats are linked to lower levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and higher levels of HDL (good cholesterol). Additionally, they are linked to a lower risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart disease-related death. Additionally, research has linked tiger nuts to improved blood circulation and a lower risk of blood clots, both of which can lower your risk of heart disease.


Blood sugar 

Tiger-nut extract has been shown in animal studies to lower blood sugar levels. The protein in tiger nuts also contains a high proportion of the amino acid arginine, which may increase insulin production and sensitivity, both of which are important for managing blood sugar. However, it should be noted that the amount of arginine used in the cited human study (9 grams) is much higher than the amount you'll find in a single serving of tiger nuts, which contains 1 gram of protein. This may, in large part, be due to the high fiber content of the tubers. 

In addition, studies conducted in a test tube indicate that tiger-nut extract may impede the digestive enzymes that digest carbohydrates.

As a result, less sugar may be absorbed from your gut, similar to how some diabetes medications lower blood sugar. It is possible that this will lower blood sugar levels, but more research on humans is required


Digestion

First, they have a lot of insoluble fiber, which doesn't get broken down in your stomach. Tiger nuts may also contain enzymes, such as catalase, lipases, and amyloses, which assist in the breakdown of foods in your gut, relieving gas, indigestion, and diarrhea. Additionally, tiger-nuts are presumed to contain resistant starch, a type of fiber that can feed the friendly bacteria in your gut and reduce the likelihood of constipation. 

Tiger nuts' high fiber content may initially cause unpleasant gas or bloating, so keep that in mind. Those who are interested in giving them a try should gradually increase their intake


Nutrient 

Tiger-nuts provide, on average, 28 grams per ounce. Fiber Carbs: 9 grams/19 grams Protein:1 gram, Fat:7 grams, Iron: 1 percent of the Daily Value 

Vitamin C-rich nutrients and antioxidants that prevent aging and diseases like heart disease and cancer. The nutrients in the nuts are lessened by germinating or roasting them before eating, making it easier for your body to absorb and use the many nutrients in them


Bottom Line

Tiger-nuts are a fascinating addition to a healthy diet, despite not technically being a nut. They are full of nutrients, aid in digestion, and may help protect against infections and diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Keep in mind that these tubers are high in fiber, so anyone who wants to start eating them should do so slowly to avoid gas or bloating

What Is Difference Between Chia Seeds And Flaxseed

  Certain seeds have gained a reputation as superfoods in recent years. Examples include the well-known chia and flax seeds. Both have been linked to health benefits such as a healthier heart, lower blood sugar levels, and protection against certain types of cancer. However, many people wonder which of the two seeds is actually the healthiest. Both are extremely rich in nutrients. To answer this question, this article looks at the scientific evidence that supports each The Saliva Hispanic plant, more commonly referred to as the chia plant, is the source of the tiny oval-shaped chia seeds. Chia seeds are slightly larger and flatter than flax seeds. Flax seeds, on the other hand, have a slightly nuttier flavor than chia seeds. However, incorporating both kinds of seeds into a variety of dishes is simple Nutrition comparison Comparative analysis of the nutrients present in chia and flax seeds The major nutrients contained in a 1-ounce (28-gram) serving, or approximately 4 tablespoons,...

Overconsumption of Common Red Food Dye May Lead to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Image
  Allure Red AC, a synthetic dye found in popular foods like Skittles, Doritos, Gatorade, Jell-O, and Fruit Loops, has been linked to an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (I-B D S) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis if consumed frequently. The dye, also known as FD & C Red 40 and Food Red 17, is thought to have negative effects on gut health and increase inflammation, according to a small study done on laboratory mice. The study, which was recently published in Nature Communications, found that the additive directly breaks the gut barrier, which helps keep bacteria from getting in, and that it also makes more serotonin, a hormone and neurotransmitter in the gut. According to the report, this reaction alters the microbiome of the gut, making people more likely to develop inflammatory bowel conditions. What we have found is striking and alarming, as this common synthetic food dye may be a dietary trigger for I-B D S, said senior author W-A L-I U...

Border violence displaces 76,000 in Lebanon: Hezbollah

 The International Organization for Migration (IOM) of the United Nations reported on Friday that nearly three months of nearly daily fighting along the border with Israel had resulted in the displacement of more than 76,000 people in Lebanon. The boundary region has seen a flood of viciousness since early October, with blow for blow trades of fire forging ahead with Friday between Israeli powers and Hezbollah. In a report distributed on Thursday, the IOM said that the heightening had uprooted 76,018 individuals, predominantly in areas of southern Lebanon lining Israel. More than 80% of the dislodged Lebanese are remaining with family members, as per the report, and just two percent housed in 14 aggregate sanctuaries spread across the south of the country, predominantly in the seaside city of Tire and in the Hasbaya locale. The remainder, according to the UN agency, have relocated to homes or apartments further from the border. Cross-line brutality has left 175 individuals dead in ...
