Someone asked me if black sesame pills are IQ tax, so let's talk about it.
Is it nutritious?
Generally speaking, it is said that it is made of black sesame seeds, which are ground and sweetened to make a ball.
From the perspective of black sesame seeds alone, it is still very nutritious. Black sesame seeds are rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamin E, as well as about 18% protein. In addition, 43% to 63% are fats, mostly unsaturated fatty acids, which are still relatively healthy compared to saturated fats.
But since there is so much oil in it, the calories are of course also very high, and the calories of 100g of sesame seeds are about 600kcal, plus those sugars, and it is too easy to gain weight if you eat it as a snack.
Can I make my hair black?
Some people think that "eating black to make up for black", black sesame seeds are so black, it should make your hair black, right?
In this regard, the black color of black sesame seeds is mainly from the "catechol-type biological macromolecules", and the black of the hair is melanin, and the two are not the same thing at all.
The root cause of hair whitening is a decrease in hair follicle melanin, which may be related to insufficient tyrosine, decreased tyrosinase activity, melanin synthesis disorders, etc., certain diseases (albinism, vitiligo, hyperthyroidism, pituitary-related diseases, etc.), genetics, aging, diet, mental stress and other factors may cause gray hair. If it is gray hair caused by a disease, the focus is on finding the cause, but from a dietary point of view, there is really no ingredient that is very effective, pay attention to a balanced diet.
As for why some people do feel that their hair has become better after eating black sesame pills, if you have a poor hair state caused by a lack of protein and other nutrients before, then supplementing some black sesame seeds is indeed beneficial.
Can hair loss be cured?
There is no evidence to support it, really want to treat hair loss or seek professional help.
How to choose?
It is also good to eat some black sesame seeds in the form of black sesame balls, but you should pay attention to its sugar and oil content, and those that are fragrant and crispy are likely to add a lot of oil, especially a lot of saturated fat, and a lot of sweet sugar.
If it is to use sugar substitute formulas, such as polydextric solution, maltitol, etc. to increase sweetness, it is better than adding sugar, you can achieve dietary fiber rich accounted for 10%, fat less than 20%, compared to common biscuits or healthier.
