Green vegetables help boost digestion, prevent bacteria from causing disease

A special type of sugar is found in green vegetables with the effect of providing food for the beneficial bacteria in the intestine, thereby supporting the more efficient and simultaneous digestion process, and it also prevents the activity of these micro bad bacteria that always threaten to cause illness for humans.

This is the first time scientists have discovered this interesting feature, contributing to explain the benefits of green vegetables to human health. Vietnam has a lot of green vegetables, which is great.

Green vegetables provide intestinal benefits, support digestion.

Called sulfoquinovose (SQ), this is the only sugar that has ever been known to contain sulfur and this is an important factor because sulfur is the third most common substance in the human body. It is also one of the key amino acids that make up proteins for cells and tissues, and is also a key component of producing many important hormones, enzymes and antibodies.

Researcher Spencer Williams at the University of Melbourne, Australia, said: " Sulfur is an important factor to make protein, an essential ingredient for all living organisms. " Plant types generally produce to serve photosynthesis. The more green the vegetables are, the more SQ it contains. It is estimated that every year, green vegetables around the world make up the amount of sugar equivalent to global iron ore production.

The only problem is that humans cannot digest it directly and before, people still don't know where it will go or what will happen when plants die. However, this type of molecule is the food of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract and indirectly, it has a good impact on human health. However, scientists have not yet determined how the intestinal bacteria can resolve SQ over half a century.

However, Australian scientists have now identified an enzyme called YihQ that bacteria use to separate, absorb and metabolize sugar with sulfur-containing sugar molecules. Professor Goddard-Borger said: " The intestinal bacteria, typically E.Coli, use SQ as a living energy source. E.Coli provides a protective barrier to prevent growth and birth. boiling of bad bacteria because the bacteria have grown stronger and overwhelmed the scope of the bacteria. "

E. coli is an important bacteria necessary for human intestinal tract. Scientists believe that it is the sugar in green vegetables that provides food for this kind of bacteria and since then, it improves and maintains the intestinal health and human digestive system.

Not only that, over the past 50 years, people have been searching for the exact factor capable of handling sulfur-containing sugars in plants and, with this finding, promise to create a premise to develop an antibiotic. completely new plant-derived. More importantly, some harmful bacteria, typically Salmonella, cause food poisoning, also metabolize based on SQ sugar, so people can develop antibiotics to attract and kill. die them from within.
