Snake Introduction

Snake fruit, a major fruit of the Rosaceae family, is not only the most important fruit in my country, but also the most widely planted and produced fruit in the world. It tastes sweet and sour and is rich in nutrition. According to measurements, every 100 grams of snake fruit contains 6.5-11.2 grams of fructose, 2.5-3.5 grams of glucose, and 1.0-5.2 grams of sucrose; it also contains trace elements such as zinc, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, and carotene. There is a saying in the United States: "Eat a snake fruit with every meal and you don't need to see a doctor."

What is the nutritional value of snake fruit

Snake apples are known as "fruits of wisdom" and "fruits of memory". People have long discovered that eating more snake apples can improve memory and intelligence. Snake apples are not only rich in sugar, vitamins and minerals, which are essential nutrients for the brain, but more importantly, they are rich in zinc. According to research, zinc is a component of many important enzymes in the human body and a key element in promoting growth and development. Zinc is widely involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats and sugars in the body through enzymes. Zinc is also an indispensable element for the formation of nucleic acids and proteins that are closely related to memory. Zinc deficiency can cause poor development of the hippocampus in the marginal part of the cerebral cortex and affect memory. Experiments have also shown that reducing zinc in food can seriously hinder the memory and learning ability of young children. Zinc is also closely related to the production of antibodies and the improvement of human immunity.

Snake fruit effects and functions:

1. Snake fruit has the effect of lowering cholesterol content

French researchers have concluded through experiments that eating snake fruit can reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, increase bile secretion and bile acid function, thus preventing cholesterol from precipitating in the bile to form gallstones. Some experiments have found that among people who often eat snake fruit, more than 50% of them have a cholesterol content 10% lower than those who do not eat snake fruit.

2. Snake fruit also has the dual effects of laxative and antidiarrhea

The cellulose in snake fruit can soften the stool in the large intestine; snake fruit is rich in organic acid, which can stimulate gastrointestinal motility and promote smooth bowel movements. On the other hand, the pectin in snake fruit can inhibit abnormal intestinal motility, slow down digestion, and thus inhibit mild diarrhea.

3. Snake fruit can lower blood pressure

Snake fruit contains more potassium, which can combine with the excess sodium salt in the human body and excrete it out of the body. When the human body ingests too much sodium salt, eating some snake fruit is beneficial to balance the electrolytes in the body. The phosphorus and iron contained in snake fruit are easily absorbed by the intestinal wall, which has the effect of nourishing the brain and blood, calming the mind and promoting sleep. The aroma of snake fruit is a good medicine for treating depression and depression. After many experiments, experts found that among many smells, the aroma of snake fruit has the greatest psychological impact on people, and it has a significant effect of eliminating psychological depression. Clinical use has proved that after letting mentally depressed patients smell the aroma of snake fruit, their mood has greatly improved, their spirits are relaxed and happy, and the sense of depression disappears. Experiments have also proved that insomnia patients can fall asleep quickly and quietly by smelling the fragrance of snake fruit before going to bed. Wash the snake fruit and squeeze the juice, take 100 ml each time, 3 times a day, take it continuously, and take it for 15 days as a course of treatment. Snake fruit has the effect of lowering cholesterol content. French researchers have concluded through experiments that eating snake fruit can reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, increase bile secretion and bile acid function, thus preventing cholesterol from precipitating in the bile to form gallstones.
