Tips

The climate in autumn is dry, so increasing the intake of foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin E can enhance the body's immunity and greatly help improve the symptoms of autumn dryness. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin E. The carotene it contains can be absorbed by the human body and converted into vitamin A. Vitamin A combines with protein to form visual protein, which plays an important role in vision.

Therefore, once carotene is deficient, it will lead to serious consequences such as night blindness or even total blindness, which is more obvious in children. Chen Xiuyuan, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Pumpkin is a wonderful product for blood supplementation." Eating pumpkin regularly can make bowel movements smooth and skin plump, especially for women, it has a beauty effect.

There are many ways to eat pumpkin, such as cooking porridge, steaming, boiling, and cooking rice. Use 200 grams of pumpkin, 150 grams of black rice, and 60 grams of jujube to make pumpkin and black rice porridge. Wash the pumpkin, remove the stem, cut it open, remove the seeds and slice it, wash the black rice and jujube, put them in a pot together, add 1000 ml of water, boil it with high heat first, then switch to low heat and cook until the rice is rotten. You can also steam 150 grams of pumpkin, add 40 grams of sugar, 250 ml of milk, and 1 egg in turn, and cook it into pumpkin paste suitable for children.

Don't eat too much pumpkin. If you eat too much pumpkin, you will take in too much carotene, which will be deposited in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Therefore, the skin around the nose, philtrum, eyes, or places with more wrinkles on the body will turn into a lemon yellow color. This symptom is called carotenoid xanthoderma. Therefore, do not eat more than one staple meal of pumpkin a day.
