Protein content of snails and snail products is relatively high, and snail protein is completely protein, which not only contains eight kinds of amino acids necessary for human body, but also has a ratio close to the needs of human body and a high nutritional value. Snails also contain fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, snails are sweet and cool, and enter the spleen, stomach and intestine. It has the effects of invigorating qi, regulating middle energizer, promoting fluid production, moistening dryness, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and can be used for treating pinkeye, quenching thirst, relieving sulfur and soju poisoning. Snails are good, but eating more has disadvantages, and eating too much will also endanger health.
Problem 1: cause indigestion.
Snails are rich in protein. Eating too much at a time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily causes protein's indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other discomfort symptoms.
Question 2: Promote the decline of renal function
Under normal circumstances, protein, a plant that people eat in the body, undergoes metabolic changes, and finally most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is excreted by the kidneys. When people get old, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if people don't pay attention to diet, eat snails in large quantities, and eat too much plant protein, it is bound to increase the nitrogen-containing waste produced in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further reduce the renal function, which is not conducive to health.
Question 3: Promote the formation of arteriosclerosis.
American medical experts pointed out that this snail is rich in methionine, which can be converted into cysteine under the action of enzymes. Cysteine can damage endothelial cells of arterial wall, and it is easy to deposit cholesterol and triglyceride on arterial wall, thus promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis.
Question 4: Lead to iodine deficiency.
The raw material for making snails contains a substance called saponin, which can not only prevent atherosclerosis, but also promote the excretion of iodine in human body. Long-term excessive consumption of snails can easily lead to iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders.
Question 5: Promoting gout attack
Gout patients with high corruption and abnormal purine metabolism and patients with high blood uric acid concentration are prone to gout attacks, especially gout patients should eat less.
