(A handful of melon seeds and a handful of oil, is the melon seeds really equivalent to drinking oil?) The doctor tells you the truth)
When it comes to the indispensable protagonists of the New Year, I think melon seeds should also be able to occupy one of them.
This kind of simple and unpretentious melon seed, as early as a few centuries ago, crossed the ocean and set foot on the mysterious land of the East.
And the stunt of snorting melon seeds is also deeply engraved in the DNA of the Chinese, the fingers pinch the stem, the front teeth are sniffed, the tip of the tongue is taken, and a set of actions are so smooth and flowing.
A handful of melon seeds and a handful of oil, is it really equivalent to drinking oil?
Nibbling on melon seeds is not the same as drinking oil.
The melon seeds do contain fat, the oil content of the melon seeds is very high, although the oil content is high, but the melon seeds are too small, even if it is a pound of melon seeds with melon seeds, it is only squeezed out of three or four oils, so eating melon seeds is equivalent to drinking oil.
In addition, most of the fats contained in melon seeds are unsaturated fatty acids, and unsaturated fatty acids have a good effect on human health, especially in the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.
Eating a little melon seeds properly is still very beneficial
It is also said here that "eat a little appropriately", so how much is there at a point?
According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", an average of 50 to 70 grams of nuts can be eaten per week, and if it is a melon seed with a shell, the average is 20-25 grams per day.
It is equivalent to the strength of an adult female leader.
In addition, melon seeds also belong to a kind of nuts, eating nuts appropriately is conducive to enhancing physical fitness, reducing cholesterol content, and can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body, which is conducive to maintaining the balance of the human body.
At the same time, in addition to containing oils and fats, melon seeds are also rich in protein, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium and selenium and other trace elements, and are rich in dietary fiber.
Therefore, eating some melon seeds properly can not only promote the protection of the skin, resist oxidation, beauty and beauty, but also promote the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines and promote the absorption of human nutrients.
For melon seeds with a taste, pay attention
Many melon seeds on the market have added many seasonings in order to have a unique taste
For example, the sugar content of sweetness is relatively high, the salt content of salt is relatively high, and high salt and high sugar are not beneficial to health.
Therefore, when eating melon seeds, try to pick melon seeds that have not been fried with a light and original taste, and prepare more warm water or tea when sniffing melon seeds, so as to avoid too many melon seeds that can easily cause throat dryness.
Why do melon seeds feel chapped lips and blisters on the tongue?
The biggest reason is the seasoning of melon seeds.
Whether it is the melon seeds fried with coarse salt on the market or the packaged seasoned melon seeds, the sodium salt content is quite high.
If the human body consumes too much salt, it will easily cause dehydration of the lips, tongue and inner wall of the mouth, resulting in inflammation. Once the salt comes into contact with the oral mucosa, it will cause local high osmotic pressure and suck the water out of the mucosal cells.
Moreover, melon seeds also have a sharp shell, which will inevitably cause the oral mucosa to be rubbed and become dry and cracked and blistered.
Melon seeds are really the source of happiness in Chinese memory
Melon seeds contain a lot of nutrients, and the correct melon seeds are indeed conducive to good health.
People who can eat melon seeds should eat less or no melon seeds with taste, and people who can't eat melon seeds must resist the temptation of melon seeds, and melon seeds are good for health, but it is not advisable to eat too much.
No matter where you are, a melon seed is like a key to memory.
It always makes you think of a lot of pleasant things and talk about various melon eating topics.
Therefore, during the New Year's Festival, the family sits together, sniffs melon seeds, chats, and when a handful of melon seeds come down, the taste of the year becomes stronger.
Healthy living starts with eating melon seeds healthily
Of course, a handful of melon seeds can also divert the topic in time to avoid the topic from falling into an awkward chat state----
"Big sister, is there an object?" When to get married? When to buy a house? When to have a baby? When will I have a second baby?"
"Second aunt, you can taste this melon seed, oh, it's really fragrant!"
