Summer fruit health care
As the saying goes, "spring eats buds, summer eats fruits", and it's almost summer, and it's time to eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables. The fruit is sweet and juicy and nutritious. Different fruits contain different nutrients. Among the five "most nutritious" fruits, apples rank first, while cherries are not on the list. I suggest you have a look.

Apple-"a model student who cares about the heart"

As the saying goes, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", apples are rich in nutrients such as organic acids, vitamins, pectin, polyphenols and flavonoids. , with antioxidant effect, while maintaining the heart. Apples also have yellow, pink, red and other colors. According to research, red apples and heated apples have a stronger protective effect on the heart. It is possible to eat an apple every day, especially for people in the coming year, which is helpful to health.

Grape-"blood-enriching model student"

Grape tastes sour and sweet, which has a beautiful meaning of having many children in our traditional culture and is deeply loved by people. In fact, grapes capture people's hearts, not only by their face value and taste, but also by their "strength". Grape is rich in iron, which is an excellent fruit for supplementing iron and is very suitable for the elderly and children. It is recorded in "Herbal Medicine in Southern Yunnan" that grapes can "greatly replenish qi and blood", so grapes have been regarded as a good product for nourishing vitality in all previous dynasties in China.

Generally speaking, the darker the grape color, the higher the pigment content and the higher the nutrition. Therefore, as far as nutrition is concerned, it is best to buy grapes with purple giant peak grapes and rose fragrance.

Watermelon-"Summer Model Student"

In summer, "replenishing water" is very important, but just drinking water is not enough. You also need to "drink water", that is, eat some fruits with high water content. Watermelon is a "natural drink" with a water content as high as 93.3%, and it is an ideal "hydrating" fruit in summer.

Moreover, watermelon is a "model student" in the fruit industry, rich in vitamin C, hydrochloric acid, calcium, phosphorus, iron and various organic acids, and it is a good product in summer. When eating watermelon, if it needs to be refrigerated, it is best not to exceed two hours. The cool taste can relieve summer heat without hurting the spleen and stomach.

Blueberry-"Eye Protection Model Student"

Blueberries are often used as ingredients and decorations for bread, cakes and other desserts. In fact, blueberry is also a kind of nutritious fruit, especially the anthocyanins contained in it. They are natural sunscreens and have a good protective effect on eyes. They are indispensable "natural sunglasses" in summer.

Usually, a layer of frost on the surface of blueberries has the best quality. This layer of hoarfrost is a naturally occurring blueberry fruit powder, which is a nutrient-rich substance. If conditions permit, there is no need to wash it off when eating. In addition, it should be noted that it is best to choose fresh blueberries to supplement nutrition. Many blueberry-flavored processed foods are made of blueberry copied with sugar, corn syrup, food coloring and other ingredients.

Peach-"Sleeping Model Student"

After summer, people often have poor sleep because of the nutrition of the weather, which affects their work and life to some extent. Peaches are summer fruits, warm and sweet. Besides being rich in vitamins, it also contains fruit acid, iron and calcium, which has the function of moistening intestines and helping sleep.

When purchasing peaches, it is best to choose peaches with a layer of fluff on the surface and not bright colors, while some hats that look bright red may be washed by merchants with unknown cleaners for the sake of beauty.

Fu Tao has something to say:

As the saying goes, "Time waits for no man", it is best to keep up with the season in diet and try to eat some seasonal ingredients. The five fruits mentioned above are all seasonal fruits in summer, which can be eaten often. Especially, some elderly people should pay more attention to their summer diet and spend the "bitter summer" smoothly.
