Pineapple is suitable for all kinds of physique.
In summer, the climate is hot and humid, and it is easy to sweat a lot. Pineapple can not only quench thirst when eaten raw, but also improve taste when cooked. It is a good fruit and vegetable in summer. Lin Lingrong, a nutritionist at Pingtung Branch of Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, pointed out that pineapple is rich in nutrition, which contains not only vitamins B 1, B2, C, carotene and nicotinic acid, but also minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and zinc. Moreover, it is rich in crude fiber, contains a variety of organic acids and pineapple enzymes, and has multiple health care effects on both body and mind.
In traditional Chinese medicine, pineapple is a kind of flat fruit, which is suitable for people of all physiques. The best health care function is that the protease can promote digestion and reduce blood viscosity, which has a certain auxiliary effect on preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, sugar and salt in pineapple can diminish inflammation, induce diuresis, clear away heat and detoxify; Vitamin B 1 is the key to substance metabolism and energy metabolism in the body, while B2 can enhance immunity, resist fatigue, moisturize the skin, and also has a good effect on regulating the stomach and reducing pressure and cooling.
Pineapple has a high nutritional value. Don't ignore dietary taboos.
Lin Lingrong said that proteolytic enzymes (so-called proteases) in pineapples help to decompose protein and fat. If cooked with meat, the meat will be particularly tender and easy to digest, but high temperature will destroy the efficacy of protease in pineapple. Therefore, it is suggested that the temperature should not be too high when serving pineapple, which is more suitable for cold dishes.
In addition, pineapple has high sugar content and calories, even higher than watermelon, which can also relieve summer heat. So pay special attention when eating. For people with weight loss, diabetes and high triglycerides, it is best to take it in moderation. Unfortunately, when people eat pineapple, they are used to cutting off the pineapple and throwing it away because it is hard. In fact, the crude fiber content of pineapple heart is far better than the meat on the surface of pineapple, which is a good helper to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
However, Lin Lingrong also reminded that due to the high crude fiber content, if it is a patient who has just finished gastrointestinal surgery, it is best not to eat pineapple, so as not to hurt the gastrointestinal tract and affect wound recovery. Moreover, patients with liver cirrhosis need to worry about esophageal varices and should avoid eating them.
