Hello everyone! Although the name may be a bit strange, it's a common problem caused by eating certain foods. Let's learn more about it so we can better protect our health!
What is fava bean disease? It is a problem that may occur after eating fava beans, also known as "fava bean poisoning" or "fava bean disease". Fava beans are a delicious food with lots of nutrients, but they also contain a natural substance called fava bean alkaloids, which can harm our bodies if we eat too many of them. Symptoms of fava bean disease may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea and other digestive problems. It may even affect our brain and nervous system. Let me give you a list of a few ways to prevent fava bean disease: First of all, make sure that the fava beans are well-heated while cooking so that most of the fava bean alkaloids can be broken down. What to do? You can either boil the fava beans or cook them at a high temperature, such as in a stir-fry or frittata. If you do this, the broad bean alkaloid will be "defeated" and will no longer pose a threat to our health!
Remember that cooking must be hot enough to ensure that fava beans become safer and more flavorful. People with conditions such as hyperuricemia, gout, and kidney disease may be more susceptible to the effects of fava bean alkaloids, which are converted to uric acid in the body.
Although eating some fava beans in moderation is good for you, if you eat too much of them, you can ingest too much fava bean alkaloids and cause problems. So, try to avoid eating too many fava beans at once. Also, fava bean alkaloids interact with other substances in certain foods to reduce their harmful effects. For example, foods rich in calcium and magnesium, such as milk, soymilk and nuts, are "good partners". When we eat these foods, they will "talk" to each other with the fava bean alkaloids in the fava beans, so that the alkaloids are not so easily absorbed, just like setting up a barricade at the door to prevent bad things from coming in. Therefore, if we eat fava beans, can be accompanied by some calcium, and magnesium-rich food, which can reduce the impact of fava bean alkali on us, so that our body is more healthier. For example, you can eat it with foods rich in calcium and magnesium so that the absorption of fava bean alkali will be reduced.
For pregnant women, small children, and people with digestive problems, it is important to pay special attention to the way you eat fava beans. Although fava bean disease is not very common, we still need to know some prevention methods to protect our health. Most importantly, eat fava beans in moderation and cook them properly. This will prevent the occurrence of fava bean disease. Infants' gastrointestinal systems may be more sensitive to certain foods, so they should be especially careful about introducing solid foods. The fava alkaloids in fava beans may cause problems, so it's best to avoid giving them to infants until they start eating complementary foods.
It is also helpful to eat a variety of different foods in our daily lives to keep us healthy.
