The health care function of walnut plays multiple roles: it is not only a member of healthy food, but also a fattening murderer.
Let's look at its multiple identities!
Role one
Walnut, also known as walnut or walnut, is one of the four largest dried fruits in the world. It is a kind of physical food. Because it is rich in unsaturated fat, it is an excellent substitute for animal food in protein.
Walnut is rich in a variety of unsaturated fats, vitamins E and B, calcium, phosphorus and fiber.
Many experiments in the west have proved that walnuts are very effective in lowering blood cholesterol and preventing heart disease.
1993, a British medical report pointed out that nutritionists at the University of Lumalenda confirmed in an experiment that the cholesterol content in men's blood decreased significantly after walnut was used instead of high saturated fat food, which was related to the unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids contained in walnut.
Fatty acids can help reduce platelet aggregation and prevent them from forming alliances and blocking blood vessels.
Unsaturated fat has been widely regarded as an effective way to reduce cholesterol content. In walnut, the ratio of unsaturated fat to saturated fat is 7: 1.
Unsaturated fat is one of the important elements to make fatty acids, but our bodies don't know how to make fatty acids by themselves, so we can only absorb them from daily food.
Walnut is rich in fat powder resources, and also contains a lot of fiber, vitamins and minerals, especially protein, selenium and vitamin E.
Fiber is an effective substance to lower cholesterol, while selenium and vitamin E have antioxidant properties, which can actively protect the heart and prevent coronary atherosclerosis.
Role two
For a long time, Chinese medicine has long affirmed the therapeutic value of walnuts. Walnuts have a variety of curative effects: low back pain, soft bones (rich calcium helps to strengthen bones), listlessness, insomnia (containing vitamin B 1 to promote metabolism), asthma (vitamin E helps to prevent asthma), laxative (fiber and unsaturated fatty acids help intestinal peristalsis), and moisturizing hair (vitamin E has antioxidant function, which makes the skin
In addition, the shape of walnut is similar to that of human brain, and it is called "brain-nourishing food" because it is rich in protein and phosphorus. It can regulate the nervous system, enhance the vitality and memory of the brain, supplement inositol and acetylcholine which are necessary and lacking for human body, and has satisfactory effects on preventing and treating diseases such as brain overuse, memory decline in middle age, Alzheimer's disease, etc.
Role three
The so-called "a catty of peanuts and a catty of oil", as a walnut with nuts, can't avoid the fate of "full of oil".
There is no doubt that it is high in fat and calories, so if it is eaten in large quantities, it may have the effect of fattening.
Fattening does not increase blood cholesterol, but it is easy to get fat.
The oil content of walnut is 55% ~ 58% unsaturated fatty acid, which is the most nutritious part of walnut, but its precious oil is not easily absorbed by human body.
In fact, I want to eat walnuts to nourish my brain and strengthen my heart, but I am not afraid of gaining weight. I can not only control my consumption, but also eat processed walnuts, such as walnut powder and walnut dew.
According to some data, every 245ml walnut dew is equivalent to more than 4 walnuts. It is unique in that it retains all the natural nutrients of walnuts, and it can homogenize the "oil" in walnuts, which is more conducive to human absorption, thus effectively avoiding the accumulation of oil.
Nourish in winter and eat some nuts.
Nut fragrance in late autumn-autumn is the season from yellow to red.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the green leaves turn yellow in summer. In late autumn, the yellow leaves turn red, and nuts jump around with the red leaves.
Over the years, nuts have become frequent visitors of many literati because of their delicious and sweet taste, especially when nuts are on the market in late autumn. Looking at nuts of different sizes on the dried fruit stand, the saliva began to flow downwards.
Winter is the season of health preservation, which is suitable for eating more nourishing food.
Nuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids beneficial to human body, as well as a large number of vitamins and trace elements, and are one of the most suitable foods recommended by experts in winter.
Hazelnut, walnut, almond and cashew introduced in this edition are called "the four largest nuts in the world".
In terms of nutrition and taste, they are among the best among all kinds of nuts. Eating more in winter will make you stronger.
Lowering blood lipid of hazelnut
There are two kinds of nuts: tree nuts and seeds.
Hazelnut, walnut, almond and cashew are all tree nuts, that is, the essence of plants, which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic acid and linoleic acid, dietary fiber, vitamin B, vitamin E and trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium, zinc and iron.
Among the "four big nuts", hazelnut has not only been eaten for the longest time, but also has the highest nutritional content, so it has the title of "king of nuts".
In China's Book of Songs, there are records of people eating hazelnuts. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, hazelnuts were even court nuts.
Eating hazelnuts was also a very popular thing in ancient Europe. They have been planting hazelnuts for 700 years.
At first, people only regarded hazelnut as a good natural food, but with the deepening of its research, people found that it played an important role in health.
In the experiment, the University of Portland found that hazelnut contains a strong anticancer component, which has a good inhibitory effect on ovarian cancer, breast cancer and other cancers, and can prolong the life span of patients for nearly one year.
In addition, the content of magnesium, calcium, potassium and other trace elements in hazelnut is very high, and long-term consumption is helpful to regulate blood pressure.
In Turkey, the main producing area of hazelnut, it can not only be eaten alone, but also be an indispensable match in all kinds of cakes, ice cream, chocolate and other sweets.
Turks mainly eat meat, and barbecue or barbecue is the most important food. However, a strange phenomenon is that most Turks have normal blood lipid indexes and have not harmed their health because of eating meat.
Researchers at Istanbul Medical University in Turkey explained that this is because hazelnut has the function of lowering cholesterol, which can avoid the harm of saturated fatty acids in meat to the body and effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Many people think hazelnuts are easy to get bored if they are eaten too much. In fact, it has natural aroma and appetizing effect, and its rich cellulose also helps digestion and prevent constipation.
For white-collar workers who work in front of a computer every day, eating more nuts such as hazelnuts can enhance the chewing ability of facial muscles, thus improving their eyesight.
At present, there are two kinds of hazelnuts in dried fruit shops: small hazelnuts (including hairy hazelnuts and hazelnuts) and imported big hazelnuts.
Hazelnut tastes good and smells pure. The roots of Corylus heterophylla are slightly protruding, arc-shaped, and the nuts are sweet; Corylus heterophylla has smooth roots and sweet nut flavor; Hazelnuts are mostly imported from Turkey or the United States, with good color and big size, but light taste.
Hazelnut can be eaten raw or fried.
Crushed nuts are put in when making cakes, or added into milk, yogurt and ice cream to make hazelnut milk, hazelnut fat, etc. It is also a very good way to eat.
In addition, hazelnuts can also be used to cook porridge: hazelnuts, lotus seeds and japonica rice are put together to make "hazelnut porridge", which is not only delicious, but also nutritious, and patients with cancer and diabetes can drink more at ordinary times.
Because hazelnuts are rich in oil, people with severe gallbladder function should eat less at ordinary times.
A study by Spanish scientists shows that it is more appropriate for ordinary people to eat 25-30 grams of hazelnuts five times a week.
Walnuts can be used for beauty.
Contains a variety of vitamins and can "moisten skin and blacken hair"
Walnut is called "longevity fruit" in China, and "educational fruit" abroad. Since ancient times, it has been considered as the most suitable nut for mental workers.
According to historical records, as early as the imperial examinations in Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, tired and nervous candidates ate walnuts to strengthen their brains.
In Japan, nutritionists have found that children who eat walnuts every day will greatly improve their anxiety and weariness of learning.
Studies have proved that this is because walnuts contain high phospholipids, which can maintain normal cell metabolism.
Prevent brain cell decline, improve brain physiological function, promote brain circulation, enhance memory and relieve brain overuse.
In addition to strengthening the brain, the beauty function of walnuts has been paid more and more attention in recent years.
Chinese medicine believes that walnuts have the function of "moistening skin and blackening hair"; Modern nutrition believes that the multivitamins contained in walnuts can improve the physiological activity of the skin. Drinking walnut porridge that is easy to digest and absorb at ordinary times can make your skin more tender and your complexion more moist.
In addition, the contents of linoleic acid and linolenic acid in walnut are 65% and 18% respectively. These unsaturated fatty acids, like other nuts, can regulate cholesterol metabolism and are very helpful for patients with arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
There are many varieties of walnuts.
According to the smoothness of the shell, there are light walnuts and hemp walnuts.
Light walnuts are easy to take kernels, and the kernels are full, sweet and not astringent; Walnut has high oil content.
According to the shell thickness, there are thin-shell walnuts and thick-shell walnuts.
There is also a kind of pecan on the market, which is relatively small and has the same nutritional value as ordinary walnuts, but tastes more fragrant.
Among walnuts, one kind of black walnut originated in North America has the highest nutritional value, but its stone is hard and its kernel rate is very low.
In the United States, the price of black walnut kernel is more than four times higher than that of ordinary walnut kernel.
At present, it is also produced in China, but the output is very small.
In eating, many people who eat walnuts alone will feel bitter. Cooking, steaming, stewing, frying, or preparing cakes and sweets can appropriately reduce the astringency.
In collocation, walnuts and boiled porridge such as barley and chestnuts can cure frequent urination; Eating sesame seeds and lotus seeds together has a better effect of nourishing the heart and strengthening the brain.
But people who are getting angry or diarrhea should pay attention, and it is best to eat less.
