9. Treat chronic constipation

Amaranth is known as the "king of green vegetables" and is rich in cellulose. Every 100 grams of amaranth contains 1.5 grams of cellulose, which can stimulate the stomach and intestines, improve gastrointestinal function, help the production of excrement, and directly excrete excess nutrients from the body with excrement, which is beneficial to prevent colorectal cancer and prevent constipation. In addition, this kind of fiber can encapsulate sand, hair, and metal debris in the digestive system and excrete them with the stool, so it is known as "intestinal cleansing grass". You can also mash 1 cup of leek root and leaf juice and drink it with warm water and a small amount of wine.
