Watermelon Jelly

On Sunday, I have nothing to do at home, so I just mess around at home because I love cooking. Let's make a watermelon jelly. I don't know how to choose watermelons. Every time I buy watermelons, I choose the ones that are rounder and prettier. Sometimes they are good, sometimes not. This time, I was lucky. The watermelon I chose is very red.

Nutritional analysis of watermelon jelly

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the exterior is not resolved, the interior cannot be attacked, otherwise it will make the condition worse. In the early stage of a cold, the pathogens are on the exterior, and eating watermelon is equivalent to taking medicine to clear the interior heat, which will lead the pathogens into the interior, aggravating the cold or prolonging the course of the disease.

Watermelon is a sweet and cold food. People with cold accumulation, cold pain and frequent urination should eat it with caution. If you eat too much watermelon at one time, the large amount of water in the watermelon will dilute the gastric juice, causing indigestion and reduced gastrointestinal resistance. Eating a large amount of frozen watermelon for too long will also damage the spleen and stomach, or cause pharyngitis.

Watermelon contains a large amount of fructose, which turns into glucose after entering the body. Eating watermelon is like drinking sugar water, which will increase blood sugar, increase the burden on the pancreas, increase urine sugar, and aggravate the condition of diabetic patients.

When eating watermelon, you should be careful not to eat spoiled watermelon or watermelon that has been opened for too long, because the temperature is too high when watermelon is on the market, which is suitable for the reproduction of pathogens. Eating spoiled watermelon contaminated by pathogens can lead to intestinal infectious diseases.
