I recently made an appointment for dinner with a girl I haven't seen for a long time. When I first met her, I said, Oh, your hair is so black, soft and beautiful, and you look much better than before. Keep asking me what brand of shampoo and skin care products I use. I'm usually busy at work. In fact, I don't have much time to take care of my face and hair. I just wash my face with simple facial cleanser and spray some water every day (life is so rough, I am alone ...). I just pay more attention to breakfast at ordinary times, and I like to drink a cup of sesame paste or add a handful of sesame seeds when cooking porridge.

Black sesame not only has the functions of supplementing calcium and lowering blood pressure, but also has the following functions:

1: the effect of blackening and moistening hair. Modern research has proved that the decrease of melanin secretion by melanocytes in hair follicles is the main cause of gray hair. Among them, the decrease of tyrosinase is one of the pathological mechanisms. It is found that the water extract of black sesame can promote the expression of tyrosinase and improve the synthesis of melanin, so the white hair can turn black again.

2. Nourishing skin and moistening skin: It is considered that reducing the production of free radicals, eliminating aging metabolites and improving the activity of antioxidant enzymes are effective methods to delay skin aging. Black sesame is rich in natural vitamin E, ranking first among plant foods. Vitamin E is a good antioxidant, and proper vitamin E supplementation can play a role in moisturizing and beautifying. In addition, sesame is one of the four major oil crops. The oil content of black sesame is mostly unsaturated fatty acid, and linoleic acid accounts for about half.

3. Improve fertility: Black sesame is rich in vitamin E, which not only has a good antioxidant effect, but also promotes human fertility.

Although black sesame is good, there are also some taboos to pay attention to:

1. People with chronic enteritis and diarrhea had better not eat sesame, because sesame has the function of stopping diarrhea.

Eating sesame and chicken together can cause food poisoning and even death in severe cases. Therefore, it is forbidden to eat sesame and chicken together.

You can't eat more sesame seeds, just one and a half spoonfuls a day. Eating too much will lead to endocrine disorders and hair quality decline.

A healthy life is everyone's wish, and reasonable and sufficient nutrition in the diet is the key to maintaining health, preventing diseases and maintaining youthful vitality.
