How to protect chestnuts? What are the health functions?

Su Zhe, a writer in the Song Dynasty, cured his waist and leg diseases by eating chestnuts in his later years. So, he wrote a poem: "when you get old, your waist and feet will get sick." Shan Weng will pick up the old chestnut and spread it out. Come, wake up in the morning, swallow it, and you will receive white jade pulp. "

According to the analysis of modern nutritionists, every 100g chestnut contains 70g of sugar and starch, 8.5g of protein and 5.6g of fat, and also contains vitamin A, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin P and inorganic salts. The unsaturated fat and multivitamins contained in chestnuts have a good preventive and therapeutic effect on diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Old people often eat chestnuts, which can achieve the purpose of anti-aging and prolonging life.

Eating chestnuts is taboo.

Although chestnuts can be used as medicine and edible, they should not be eaten more: raw food is not easy to digest, cooked food will stagnate, and it is not suitable for overeating at one time. The eating method advocated by Li Shizhen can be referenced: "Bagging raw chestnuts, hanging them, eating more than ten chestnuts every morning, or cooking porridge with chestnuts and pig kidneys will be healthy over time."
