Amaranthus improves eyesight, warms the lungs, treats heart disease, strengthens the spleen, harmonizes the stomach, moistens the intestines, prevents aging, and has anti-cancer effects. It is reported that Malan is rich in trace elements selenium, VE and carotene. Among them, Se, Zn, Mg and Ca are more abundant. Studies have shown that selenium is an element that has significant anti-cancer, anti-aging and immunity-enhancing effects. Selenium is an essential component of the antioxidant enzyme (GSH-PS). Selenium can increase the activity of this enzyme and prevent lipid peroxidation in biological membranes. Animal experiments have shown that selenium-containing compounds can inhibit the occurrence and development of spontaneous tumors and induced tumors. According to the information, it can inhibit liver cancer, skin cancer and lymphoma induced by chemical carcinogens. VE is a natural antioxidant that has physiological functions such as removing free radicals in the body, maintaining the integrity and normal function of cell membranes, and preventing sebum peroxidation. Recent studies have shown that it can reduce the carcinogenic effects of some carcinogens and protect against cell damage and induced cancer caused by radioactive elements. In addition, it can also reduce the toxic side effects of anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs. Carotene is also an antioxidant that inhibits the generation of reactive oxygen by providing electrons, thereby scavenging free radicals. This enables it to play the same role as other antioxidants in delaying aging and preventing cardiovascular diseases and tumors.
