The benefits of eating white chayote

The common chayote is green and has a light taste. There is another kind of chayote on the market, the white chayote, which is also pear-shaped, but has a green skin. The taste of the white chayote is slightly sweeter than that of the green chayote. However, the production of chayote is very small, so the white chayote is relatively rare on the market. However, the efficacy of the white chayote is the same as that of the common chayote, which is also very numerous.

The efficacy and function of white chayote

1. It has the effect of lowering blood pressure

White chayote is rich in nutrients. The protein and calcium content alone is 1-2 times higher than that of cucumber. The content of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals is also higher than that of other fruits and melons. Not only that, it contains very low sodium and calories. Eating white chayote regularly can dilate blood vessel walls, lower blood pressure, and help urination.

2. It has the effect of protecting cell membrane

Selenium is a relatively rare element, but it is also an essential element for our human body, because selenium has a strong antioxidant capacity. A person who takes 30-50 micrograms of selenium every day can play an antioxidant role and protect cell membranes. Every 100 grams of white chayote contains up to 40 to 50 grams of selenium. If we eat one every day, we can protect the function of cell membranes from being damaged.

3. It has the effect of treating infertility

Every couple wants to have their own children. Normally, fertility is a normal function of men and women, but due to certain reasons, some men and women may not be able to conceive, which is a big blow to them. Studies have shown that eating white chayote regularly can improve infertility caused by malnutrition, and men can effectively improve their sexual function after using it.

4. It has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving cough

One of the functions of white chayote is to regulate qi, and it has a good effect on chest tightness, bloating, and cough and sputum caused by liver and stomach pain. Patients with symptoms such as tracheitis and vomiting can also eat more chayote, which can not only supplement sufficient nutrition, but also soothe the liver and regulate qi, and treat inflammation and vomiting.
