能促進氫氣產生的食品很多,其中最重要的包括以下這些成分:棉籽糖、乳糖、山梨糖醇、淀粉和纖維素。
這些成分大部分都具有保護作用,他們的特點是在小腸不容易被消化,進入大腸后,被細菌消化,細菌消化他們的同時產生氫氣,氫氣才是這些成分為什么對機體有好處的根本原因。這才是為什么這些事物都是保健食品的重要原因。
Foods that commonly cause gas: According to the
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), most
foods that contain carbohydrates can cause gas, and fats and proteins cause
little gas. Foods that cause gas include the following:
raffinose - a complex sugar found in beans,
cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, other vegetables, and whole
grains.
lactose - a natural sugar found in milk and milk
products, such as cheese and ice cream, and in processed foods, such as bread,
cereal, and salad dressing. 奶類制品有好處。ice cream也可以吃的。
fructose - a sugar found in onions, artichokes,
pears, and wheat, and is also used as a sweetener in some soft drinks and fruit
drinks. 洋蔥是好東西。
sorbitol - a sugar found naturally in fruits,
including apples, pears, peaches, and prunes, and is also used as an artificial
sweetener in many dietetic foods and sugar-free candies and gums.
多吃水果可以。
starches - most starches, including potatoes,
corn, noodles, and wheat produce gas as they are broken down in the large
intestine. (Rice is the only starch that does not cause gas.) soluble
大米的淀粉不能產氣。因此效果不好,應該少吃大米多吃署類淀粉。
fiber - fiber that dissolves easily in water and
takes on a soft, gel-like texture in the intestines; is found in oat bran,
beans, peas, and most fruits.
insoluble fiber - fiber, such as that found in
wheat bran and some vegetables, which passes essentially unchanged through the
intestines and produces little gas.
