Fruit Nutrition and Health Knowledge: Unhealthy Eating Method

1, synthetic VC can't replace fruit.

Compared with synthetic vitamin C, natural vitamin C existing in fruits and vegetables has an advantage that cannot be ignored, that is, vitamin C existing in many fruits and vegetables exists in the form of a combination of two substances, namely vitamin C and vitamin P. In human tissues, vitamin P can help vitamin C to play its role. Synthetic vitamin C is a pure pharmaceutical preparation, and its effect is far less than that of natural vitamin C. In addition, taking vitamin C tablets often takes a large amount. If taken for a long time, a large amount of oxalic acid can be generated in the body, which becomes the material basis of kidney calculi. However, vitamin C in fruits and vegetables will not make oxalic acid in urine too high.

2. Obese people should not eat a lot of fruits.

Eat only fruits, and beware of diseases such as hyperglycemia or hyperlipidemia that obese people are prone to. Because the fruit itself is rich in sugar, if you eat too much sugary food and exercise less, you will have high blood sugar or blood lipids. At this point, pregnant women should pay special attention to patients with obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and fatty liver, and MM who only eat fruit meals to lose weight.

3. Fruits should not be juiced for drinking.

Nowadays, more and more families have bought juicers and found that drinking fresh juice is delicious and convenient. However, nutrition experts remind that except for people with bad teeth, it is best not to juice fruits, but to eat them directly is more nutritious.

Because drinking fruit juice will reduce people's intake of cellulose rich in fruits. These celluloses have the health care functions of preventing and reducing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, and can also effectively stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote defecation.

In addition, eating fruit directly is easy to produce satiety, while drinking fruit juice will unconsciously absorb too much calories and sugar, increasing the chance of getting sick.

4. Buy less cut fruits.

Fruit is the main source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is easily oxidized in the air, and it will be lost due to high temperature and sunshine. However, the nutrients of fresh fruits peeled and cut in advance may be reduced. The British Consumers Association made a study to test the vitamin C content of pre-packaged cut fruits and vegetables sold in supermarkets. It was found that in 13 samples, the vitamin C content of 4 samples was half lower than that recorded in the reference book.

If it is not handled properly, the cut fruit is easily contaminated by bacteria.

The surface of fruit is easily contaminated by pollutants, chemicals, animal waste or salmonella. If fresh fruit is not disinfected, there may be salmonella on the surface of the fruit. However, when cutting fresh fruit without cleaning with a knife, the bacteria in the contaminated fruit skin will spread to the edible part through the knife. If the cut fruit is stored at room temperature for too long, bacteria will breed.

6. Fruits will produce toxic substances after being frozen.

Nutrition experts remind that fruits are more likely to produce nitrite after freezing, and eating too much nitrite can lead to headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

It is very important for customers to learn to distinguish whether fruits are frozen or not. After oranges and oranges are frozen, the oil in the epidermis penetrates into the pulp, and the pulp is easy to be bitter. The frozen surface of fruit is generally black.

7. Eating raw bananas will aggravate constipation.

Bananas are rich in dietary fiber, a large part of which will not be digested and absorbed, but can increase the volume of feces and promote intestinal peristalsis.

At the same time, the sugar content of banana is above 15%, and it contains a lot of water-soluble plant fiber, which can cause hyperosmotic gastrointestinal fluid secretion, thus absorbing water to solid parts, making feces soft and easy to discharge. But these effects are only available to mature bananas, and immature bananas may have the opposite effect. It contains more tannic acid, is relatively insoluble, has astringent effect on digestive tract, and inhibits the secretion and peristalsis of gastrointestinal fluid. If you eat too much, it will cause constipation or aggravate constipation.

8. Eating mangoes needs to prevent allergies.

Mango contains a lot of fruit acids, amino acids, protein and so on. These substances contain a lot of irritating substances, which will cause allergies when contacting with human skin, and in severe cases, redness and pain will occur. But not everyone is allergic to mango. Even if they are allergic, their reactions are different. Some people will react on the same day, and some people will have symptoms in two or three days.

9. Oranges turn yellow when eaten too much.

Oranges contain carotene. Due to the intake of citrus (more than1~ 2kg per day) or carrots in a short period of time, the liver can't metabolize carotene into vitamin A in time, so that the content of carotene in the blood suddenly increases, leading to yellow pigmentation in the skin and tissues, resulting in carotene anemia and yellow skin.
