Nutritional analysis of Chinese yam tranquilizing porridge

The carbohydrate content of grapefruit is 9.5 grams per 100 grams. This is undoubtedly good news for obese people. Medically speaking, foods rich in carbohydrates can cause a surge in blood sugar and insulin in the human body, thus causing obesity and even leading to diabetes and heart disease.

Consumption warning: The daily consumption of grapefruit should not exceed 200 grams, and one large slice is enough. According to traditional Chinese medicine, grapefruit is cold in nature, so people with weak constitution should not eat too much.

Buying tips: When buying grapefruit, you should look, smell and knock. Look, it is best to choose the standard type with a pointed top and a wide bottom. The skin must be thin and smooth, light green or light yellow in color, and look soft and juicy. Smell, ripe grapefruits have a strong aroma. Knock, that is, press and knock the fruit skin to see if it sinks. Grapefruits that sink and are not elastic are of poor quality. Freshly picked grapefruits do not taste the best, so it is best to leave them indoors for a few days. Generally, after two weeks, when the water in the grapefruit gradually evaporates, the taste will become sweeter and sweeter.

Fresh dates are the all-around champion in softening blood vessels, fighting cancer and lowering blood pressure.

Nutritional analysis: Compared with other autumn fruits, fresh dates are rich in many nutrients, such as vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. Vitamin C can soften blood vessels, prevent hypertension, coronary heart disease, and arteriosclerosis. At the same time, vitamin C helps block the formation of carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds, thereby reducing the risk of tumor formation; potassium can enhance muscle excitability, participate in the synthesis of proteins and carbohydrates, and heat metabolism; magnesium has the function of inhibiting nerve excitability, participating in the synthesis of proteins in the body, muscle contraction, and regulating body temperature, etc.
