Natural fruits with multiple vitamins and rich nutrition can be made into dried fruits, which can be said to be a natural and convenient snack. Pay special attention not to choose extra oil and sugar or pickled dried fruits, otherwise it will not only be unhealthy, but also increase calories.
Dried fruit has six advantages.
1, welfare 1
1) can eat all the fiber in the peel: vitamin C is lost in the drying process of fruit. However, don't think that without vitamin C, dried fruits are worthless, only carbohydrates are left. Many benefits of fruit still remain in dried fruit, and there are some advantages that people often ignore.
2) You can eat all the fibers in the peel. When eating fruit, people often spit and peel it, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow it. In fact, the peel is the place with the highest dietary fiber content in fruits. After drying, dietary fiber was completely unaffected and preserved. Because raisins can only be eaten with skin, cellulose is not wasted at all.
2. Benefits 2
1) Suitable for people with indigestion and colds: there is no risk of damage to digestive tract caused by protease and unpolymerized tannin. Fresh fruit usually contains active protease and tannin. Don't think that enzymes (enzymes) have only good effects. Tannin has a strong antioxidant effect, and its damage to digestive tract mucosa is also quite fierce for people with indigestion.
2) Traditional health care often advises people with indigestion not to eat fruit on an empty stomach. In fact, they are largely afraid of them. Once the fruit is dried, protease will be inactivated and tannin will be polymerized, which will greatly reduce the stimulation to the digestive tract. Dried fruit can be used as a source of supplementary fruit nutrition for the elderly with indigestion and fear of cold. Otherwise, it is really troublesome to put oranges on the heater or scald grapes with warm water before eating because of fear of cold.
3. Benefits 3
The mineral content is higher than that of fresh fruit: all mineral components are preserved and concentrated. Although vitamin C will be lost, minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron will not be lost, and will be concentrated because of water loss, and the content is higher than that of fresh fruit. Therefore, all kinds of dried fruits are good sources of potassium. Raisins are rich in potassium and iron, which is incomparable to white sugar or even brown sugar.
Four. Benefit 4
Antioxidants are particularly rich: most of the antioxidant components are preserved. For red, blue and purple-black fruits, anthocyanins are particularly rich in antioxidant components and will be concentrated after drying. Especially those dried red raisins and blackcurrants with thick skin and deep color, if eaten with skin, the health care effect is better.
5. Benefits 5
Easy to carry and store, it is a high-quality snack. Although the sugar content of dried fruit is similar to the starch content of rice, it belongs to high-calorie food, but it can be made into small bags, and it is easier to control the amount by eating only one handful or one small bag at a time, so as not to eat it like fresh fruit, and always afraid that it will go bad after eating.
6. Benefits 6
Can be used with all kinds of foods: dried fruit can replace sugar, make many foods sweet, and can also be added to various foods to enhance the texture of food. For example, add raisins, jujube, longan and so on. When cooking porridge, cooking rice and beating soybean milk, it tastes light, sweet and delicious. Throw away the bread with jam and butter for breakfast, and grab some raisins and walnuts directly with whole wheat steamed bread, which is definitely a surprise. Most importantly, the nutritional value of dried fruits is much higher than that of artificially added sugar.
Expand data to lose weight
1, avoid replacing dinner with fresh fruit.
Fresh fruit contains a lot of amino acids and vitamins beneficial to human body, and has excellent antioxidant properties, but even this does not mean that it can be eaten as a meal! Fruit contains extremely high fructose, which is more easily absorbed by the human body than sucrose, making you fat instead of thin.
Don't drink too much water a day.
Drinking enough water can accelerate the metabolic process in the body, stimulate lymphatic circulation, and let metabolic waste be discharged quickly. But the theory that 8 glasses of water a day helps to lose weight is not valid. The reason is that the food you eat every day already contains some water. If you drink a lot of water, it will increase the burden on your body, especially your kidneys, and make your body bloated.
3. Try to eat as little pepper as possible
Eating Chili is a very extreme way to lose weight. Although capsaicin contained in pepper can help decompose fat, it will also cause quite strong stimulation to the gastric mucosa, making your body collapse before losing weight successfully.
4. Don't blindly follow the "protein" theory.
Protein can provide necessary nutrition for the body, and it does not contain calories. However, eating only high-protein foods such as eggs and meat every day may cause acidosis and affect health.
Replacing sugar with xylitol will make you fat.
Xylitol is extremely low in calories, but in fact, although it is a sugar substitute, eating too much will make you fat! In addition, xylitol can affect the balance of intestinal flora, causing flatulence and gastrointestinal discomfort.
