Grandma Hu planned this in her heart. As a result, as soon as she opened the sack, she was smoked with a choking smell and coughed twice. When the daughter-in-law heard the sound, she ran out and saw her mother-in-law holding peanuts in her hand. When she looked forward, these peanuts were obviously moldy and smelled like noses. After peeling, you can also see mold.
Daughter-in-law said to Grandma Hu, "These peanuts are moldy and can't be eaten." Grandma Hu is not willing to throw it. It is the result of her own efforts. The big deal is to bask in the sun and wash before eating. What's the problem? The daughter-in-law did not listen to the advice and said, "Don't eat if you are worried about poisoning."
Aflatoxin breeds after food is moldy, which is highly carcinogenic, easy to be poisoned after eating by mistake, and may also induce a variety of cancers. It has been listed as a carcinogen by WHO, which is difficult to remove and has nothing to do with daily methods. Don't expect to kill it with sunshine and boiling water.
Some elderly people think it is enough to peel off the shell and then cut off the broken part. In fact, this method can't remove all molds, and eating too much is also very dangerous. Moreover, peanuts are so small that it is unrealistic to check and cut them one by one. On the surface, only a small part is moldy. In fact, mold has polluted the whole bag of peanuts. For the sake of safety, it is best not to eat them. Similar foods include corn, nuts, tea and steamed bread.
How to tell if peanuts are moldy? You can see if its shell has changed color, and if there are many molds floating out after peeling. The peanuts inside may turn yellow and discolor, and the red ones are wrinkled. You can taste it in your mouth. It's bitter and hard to swallow.
Pay attention when eating peanuts. It may deteriorate because it has been preserved for too long, and it is useless to feel bad again. After all, health is important. So, is it reasonable for Grandma Hu to say that peanuts can preserve health and are good for blood vessels?
Most middle-aged and elderly people have chronic diseases, so they are very cautious in their diet choices, hoping to eat food that is beneficial to their health and has no effect on the disease. In the eyes of most people, peanuts are the representative of oily. Because peanut oil is extracted from it, it is difficult to have a good impression on it, fearing that eating it right will have an impact on blood lipids and liver. However, a foreign study subverts people's views. It turns out that peanuts are good for cardiovascular system. Let's take a look at the related research.
A study in Stroke magazine pointed out that peanuts help protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is the result of 15 years follow-up of more than 70 thousand middle-aged and elderly people. Participants who eat 4-5 peanuts with shells every day reduce their risk of cerebral infarction, stroke and cardiovascular disease by 20%, 65,438+06% and 65,438+03% respectively.
Peanuts can also help middle-aged and elderly people maintain their weight, because peanuts have more dietary fiber. Eating peanuts when you are hungry and then eating dinner will help reduce your appetite, which will reduce your calorie intake. Moreover, peanuts will occupy a part of the space in the stomach. If you don't chew it, it will eventually be discharged, which is equivalent to going through a process in the body and not producing too much energy, which is very beneficial to people who want to control their weight.
In addition, people who have a bad stomach and feel uncomfortable when they are hungry can eat peanuts to relieve acid reflux and heartburn after getting up in the morning, and it is very convenient. You don't have to wait too long to eat them, which can immediately relieve hunger. In addition, peanuts can also exercise the chewing ability of middle-aged and elderly people and make their teeth stronger. If you eat raw peanuts, you can stay in your mouth for a long time after chewing water, which has a certain protective effect on your teeth.
Some people say that peanuts are healthy, so can I eat them with it when I drink? It can also offset the harm of alcohol.
First of all, most drinkers eat fried peanuts sprinkled with salt. The health attributes of peanuts have been changed, nutrition has decreased, and calories and oil have increased. Eating too much can easily affect cholesterol levels.
And it is also mixed with alcohol, which is harmful to the liver. Now that peanuts are added, the fat produced is increased, which brings more pressure to the liver. Therefore, fried peanuts and alcohol are really not a "good match". If you like peanuts, you can eat raw flowers and boiled peanuts.
However, no matter what kind of peanut, it can't offset the harm of alcohol, because alcohol passes through the liver, blood vessels and nerves, and the harm is everywhere. Peanut is just an ordinary food and has no function of repairing and detoxifying. After entering the stomach, it can only protect the gastric mucosa a little, but it can't completely eliminate the stimulation caused by alcohol.
It should also be noted that peanuts are common allergens. It is best to taste a small amount before eating, and then continue eating if there is no response, as is the case with other foods containing peanuts. In addition, if the stomach has been removed, or there is a serious gastric ulcer, it is not recommended to eat more peanuts, because it is hard and slippery, and accidentally swallowing it may make the stomach uncomfortable.
Anyway, how to eat peanuts is very important. Boiled peanuts and raw peanuts are healthy and suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. It is enough to ensure four or five peanuts or a small handful every day. Don't eat them as snacks. Molding and frying are not recommended, and eating more is useless.
