To ask what delicious things you have to eat in winter, what exactly are them?
Dr. Xiaokang thought it must be the freshly baked sweet potato.
Who would refuse to roast sweet potatoes in the winter, whether it's the hot, heavy feel of holding it in your hand or the bubbling aroma that burrows through your nose?
The most addictive thing is the bite down, the soft and soft sweetness.
Why are baked sweet potatoes extra sweet?
Many people are puzzled, why compared to other methods, baked sweet potatoes can be particularly delicious?
Mainly because sweet potatoes themselves are rich in soluble sugars such as sucrose, these soluble sugars are further converted into maltose through the baking process, thereby increasing the sweet taste.
Coupled with the small amount of protein contained in sweet potatoes, the Merlard reaction occurs with protein and sugar at high temperatures, which induces a fascinating aroma.
Of course, in addition to being delicious, sweet potatoes themselves are easy to grow, drought-tolerant, and adaptable to the climate, which can help the world survive famine years after famine.
Sweet potatoes are good, but such people are better off eating less
Sweet potatoes contain more sugars, proteins, vitamins, amino acids and other components, in daily life, there are many people especially like to eat sweet potatoes.
However, not all people are suitable for eating sweet potatoes, especially the following types of people, once the consumption of sweet potatoes is improper, it will not have any health care effects, and it will also cause a certain degree of damage to health.
1. Gastroesophageal reflux population
Many people believe that sweet potatoes can play a role in improving digestion and metabolic function, for people with some gastrointestinal diseases, eating more sweet potatoes can promote the healing of the disease, this statement is not accurate.
If you have mild stomach inflammation and other diseases, you can eat some sweet potatoes appropriately. However, if you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux, then you must not eat sweet potatoes, otherwise it will aggravate the reflux phenomenon.
Sweet potatoes are gas-producing foods, and entering the stomach will produce more gas in the stomach, which will cause the gastric pressure to rise rapidly. Once the gastric pressure rises, some contents of the stomach will be reversed into the esophagus under the action of internal gastric pressure, causing serious reflux.
Moreover, there are more sugars in sweet potatoes, and after entering the stomach, it will make the stomach secrete a lot of stomach acid. Once the stomach acid is excessive, the gastric mucosa will be stimulated accordingly, resulting in abnormal spasms.
Some foods in the stomach that are not completely digested will flow backwards into the esophagus and oral area, causing severe reflux.
Second, the population of peptic ulcers
Peptic ulcers mainly include gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, which refer to ulcerative diseases caused by irritation of gastric acid in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract or stimulation by other factors.
For people with peptic ulcer disease, all high-sugar foods should not be ingested except for regular treatment.
Sweet potatoes are high-sugar foods, which once enter the stomach, will make the stomach secrete a lot of stomach acid.
The gastric mucosa will be strongly stimulated as a result, so that the patient will have more serious abdominal pain, and it will also aggravate the ulcer surface, which is not only not conducive to the healing of the disease, but also induces the appearance of gastric perforation in severe cases.
Sweet potatoes contain a special gasification enzyme, which will produce a large amount of acidic substances and gases after entering the human gastrointestinal tract, and the gastrointestinal tract will be stimulated very strongly.
It will not only cause people to have abdominal distention and pain, but also cause heartburn and acid reflux, which will seriously affect the treatment of the disease.
Third, people with high blood glucose values
For diabetics, if the blood sugar level is relatively stable, you can eat some sweet potatoes in small quantities.
However, if the blood sugar value is persistently high, or the blood sugar value is unstable, then it is best not to eat sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are foods with a relatively fast glycemic index, and the sugar substances in sweet potatoes are easily absorbed by the body.
Once consumed, it can cause instability in blood sugar levels.
In addition, if you are in a period of severe diarrhea, do not eat sweet potatoes, otherwise it will aggravate the diarrhea.
Of course, in the end, we need to remind --- sweet potato once moldy, or to throw it away in time.
Even if the moldy part is cut off, the mold may have spread to other ingredients in the sweet potato, and if eaten into the stomach, it will damage the stomach and even the kidneys.
