The secret of our tender skin is that there is a very important protein in the human body-collagen, which has strong stretching ability and can keep the skin elastic. However, foods rich in collagen, such as pigskin jelly, cannot be directly converted into the collagen we need in our skin after eating. It needs to be digested and absorbed into the smallest unit amino acid of protein, and then recombined into the collagen needed by our skin. Collagen is an incomplete protein, with unreasonable amino acid ratio, incomplete raw materials and limited synthesis, which can not play a role in hydrating skin.
If you try to have smooth skin by eating pigskin jelly, it will not only have a bad effect, but also consume too much fat in pigskin jelly. It is best to supplement high-quality protein and foods rich in antioxidant vitamin C, so that vitamin C can promote the synthesis of amino acids in high-quality protein, and then have tender and smooth skin. Of course, only by grasping the principle of diversification and balance of food can we have real health.
What are the benefits of pigskin jelly?
1, dry weather pigskin helps you to wrinkle and replenish water.
Cold and dry winter is the season when people's skin is prone to water shortage. At this time, wrinkles will quietly climb up the corner of your eyes and then extend to the whole face. Wrinkles in human skin are caused by the disorder of water storage function of skin cells, the decrease of water-binding ability of cells, the decrease of plasticity, the decrease of elasticity and the dryness of mucosa. In order to delay or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it is necessary to take in some collagen and elastin which can improve the binding force. Pigskin is a kind of food rich in collagen, which has special effects on anti-wrinkle and beauty.
2, loose pigskin helps you polish and whiten.
Pig skin (including pig's trotters and pig's tails) contains 26.4% protein, which is 2.5 times that of pork, and more than 90% of it is macromolecular collagen and elastin, and the content is equivalent to that of bear's paw. Collagen has a special nutritional effect on skin, which can enhance the vitality and improve the function of skin cells with low water storage function, promote skin cells to absorb and store water, prevent skin from drying and wrinkling, and make skin rich, full, flat and smooth. Elastin can increase the elasticity and toughness of skin, make blood circulation vigorous, provide sufficient nutrition, stretch wrinkles, make them shallow or disappear, and make skin look delicate, delicate and smooth. Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, listed the prescription of pigskin in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, pointing out that pigskin has the function of "nourishing blood and moistening skin" and has been used for generations.
3. Pigskin can make your hair firm and elegant.
Collagen is an indispensable nutrient for human muscles and bones, and can also promote the growth of hair and nails. Chinese medicine also believes that pigskin is sweet and cool, and has the functions of nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency, clearing away heat and relieving sore throat. If you want elegant hair, pigskin really should not be thrown away easily.
What are the disadvantages of pigskin jelly?
1, containing a lot of fat.
Pigskin is edible, beauty beauty. But eating too much pigskin is also harmful, as everyone must know. Because pigskin is very rich in fat. Eating too much frozen pigskin every day will lead to obesity. Moreover, patients with hypertension should not eat more pigskin jelly, otherwise it will lead to an increase in blood pressure. Similarly, the same is true for patients with hyperlipidemia. Many girls are trying to lose weight every day and plan to eat a pigskin jelly to supplement collagen at night. I didn't expect the hard work of eating every day to be in vain.
2. There may be potential safety hazards.
Because in recent years, food safety is the most concerned topic for the public. With the exposure of many black-hearted businesses on the Internet, everyone has some doubts about the safety of all kinds of food. Indeed, we should remain vigilant. Earlier, Bian Xiao saw a news that a factory used asphalt or rosin to remove pig hair, both of which were harmful to human body. So we can't be sure whether the pigskin jelly we eat at this time has chemical components.
How is pigskin jelly made?
