Yeolmu bibimbap is a popular food in summer. Yeolmu barley bibimbap with barley instead of rice is better for health. You can increase the nutritional value by adding eggs and mushrooms. You can also eat radish, barley rice, and mushroom side dishes as they are without making bibimbap. Let’s find out the health effects of these foods.
◆ Yeol radish, low in calories and prevents acidification of blood… increase stamina in the heat
Yeolmu is derived from ‘soft radish’ meaning ‘young radish’. In the past, it was a special product of the middle of the summer, but as it has recently been attracting attention as a healthy food, the demand has increased significantly, and it is being supplied seasonally through facility cultivation. According to the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the leaves of radish contain adequate amounts of vitamins A and C and essential minerals. It is an alkaline food with high dietary fiber and low calorie at 14kcal per 100g. Prevents blood acidification and gives a feeling of satiety.
In particular, fermented radish kimchi is rich in vitamins, so a bowl of bibimbap with an egg containing protein in barley rice is in harmony with nutrition. Yeol radish supplements essential minerals that are lost from the body by sweating a lot, helping to recover exhausted stamina in summer. Adding perilla oil can increase the absorption of vitamin A in radish. It is rich in beta-carotene, which is beneficial for eye health.
◆ Yeol radish, immunity improvement-promoting collagen production-controlling blood pressure
Radish, which is also rich in vitamin C, helps to improve immunity against bacteria and viruses. It is good for maintaining skin elasticity by promoting collagen production and slowing aging through antioxidant action. Potassium helps to control blood pressure by discharging sodium in blood vessels to the outside. Radish contains enzymes that break down starch and is rich in dietary fiber, so it is effective in improving digestion and preventing constipation.
◆ Barley, bowel movement-promoting digestion, excretion of harmful substances, suppression of cholesterol synthesis
Yeolmu barley rice is a food with very high nutritional value. Barley is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals that rice lacks. Vitamin B1-B2, niacin, folic acid, calcium, iron, etc. are more than rice. It is rich in dietary fiber, which aids in intestinal peristalsis and digestion, which is good for constipation. It helps the growth of beneficial bacteria and promotes the synthesis of vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid, which are involved in skin nutrition.
Barley contributes to colon health by adsorbing and excreting harmful substances-carcinogenic substances such as fatty acids, cholesterol, heavy metals, and nitrosamines that enter the body through food. In particular, beta-glucan is broken down into low-molecular-weight fatty acids and inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. When barley is consumed, the rapid fluctuations in blood sugar and urine sugar are reduced, and the function of reducing weight gain has also been confirmed.
◆ Eggs, mushrooms… Protein synergistic effect, cholesterol lowering and immunity enhancement
Adding high-quality protein-rich eggs can create a synergistic effect. Shiitake mushrooms contain twice as much vitamins B1 and B2 as vegetables. Shiitake mushrooms are rich in ergosterol, a former substance of vitamin D, which lowers blood cholesterol and is good for preventing hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Shiitake contains lentinan, an anti-cancer and anti-tumor substance, and has been developed as a medicine to enhance immunity and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Yeolmu barley rice with eggs and mushrooms can be a healthy food to beat the heat.
