The trotter has the effect of preventing and treating neurasthenia

Pig trotters are nutritious foods that people like to eat. According to Chinese medicine, trotters are flat and sweet and salty. With weak fill, fill kidney essence, health pick knee and other functions. Modern nutrition studies show that trotters contain more protein, fat and carbohydrates, and contain calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and vitamins A, D, E, K and other beneficial ingredients. It is rich in collagen protein and has a good therapeutic effect on the elderly with neurasthenia (insomnia).

The collagen in the trotters consists of a large number of amino acids, and there is one glycine in every three amino acids. After ingestion of trotters, the collagen in the human small intestine can be digested into a large amount of glycyrrhizic acid, which not only participates in the synthesis of collagen in the human body, but also acts as a central nerve inhibitory transmitter in brain cells. Can produce a sedative effect on the central nervous system. Therefore, eating trotters is beneficial to reduce the excessive excitation of the central nervous system, and also to improve anxiety, neurasthenia and insomnia. In addition, glycine is also present in the interneurons of the human spinal cord. When the interneurons are destroyed, it is necessary to replenish glycine. Glycine can inhibit the excitability of spinal motoneurons and interneurons, and can cause spinal cord neurons to be hyperpolarized. Therefore, eating glycine-rich trotters has a positive effect on regulating the functional activities of normal secondary neurons. Because the glycine contained in the trotters has a sedative effect on the central nervous system, people also found that some people often cramp or numbness in the calf, and some drugs cause delirium. Eating trotters also has certain therapeutic and palliative effects.

However, it should be noted that due to more trotter fat, arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure in patients with less food is appropriate; if there are Sheng Sheng block, food delay should also be careful to eat.
