The first is Chia seeds. Many merchants advertise that its calcium content is six times that of milk. In fact, they made the mistake of "judging without looking at the dose". Indeed, under the same weight, dried seeds of Gia contain more calcium than milk, but we can't get enough calcium only by using seeds of Gia every day. Moreover, Chiaya seeds contain natural cyanosides, such as flax picroside, which can release cyanate and combine with sulfur molecules to form thiocyanate. Excessive thiocyanate may affect thyroid function, so it is recommended to take chia seed 1 to 2 tablespoons a day; At the same time, the dietary fiber content of Jiaya seeds is as high as 37.3%, and the recommended daily intake for adults is generally 15g. In addition, the absorption rate of calcium in milk is higher than that of Chia seeds, so it is unrealistic to supplement calcium with Chia seeds. It should also be noted that not everyone can eat Chia seeds, such as people who can't stand high fiber, low blood pressure and blood concentration problems. And you shouldn't eat chia seeds.
The second is avocado, which can be described as the "top traffic network celebrity" in health food. This magical fruit, which is claimed to be essential for dieters and can replace butter, is actually a manifestation of high fat and high calorie. Although it has a fatty acid structure dominated by unit unsaturated fat, and its saturated fat content is relatively low, it can indeed replace the fat source, but it definitely does not mean that you will lose weight after eating it. In fact, eating too much avocado may even lead to overweight or obesity due to too many calories.
As for quinoa, its lysine content is twice that of wheat and corn, and it is also rich in plant active substances such as phenols, flavonoids, saponins, choline and phytosterols, which can meet almost all human needs for staple food nutrition. However, this does not mean anything, and there is no other additional nutritional value. People can enjoy all kinds of delicious food and get the same nutrition as quinoa through various dietary compositions.
In short, although super food has its own advantages, it is most important to balance healthy eating habits. We should not rely too much on this kind of food, but should take in nutrients healthily and variously.
