We all know the efficacy of soaking oranges in salt water, as well as the efficacy and function of foods that we often eat in our lives. It is not only a kind of fruit and vegetable food, but also difficult to distinguish the good from the bad simply from the efficacy. Let me tell you about the effects of soaking oranges in salt water.

The effect of soaking salted orange in water is 1 expectorant and cough relieving.

1, resolving phlegm and relieving cough is an important effect of salted orange soaking in water. It can enter the lung meridian, eliminate inflammation of lung and trachea, dilate trachea and accelerate the discharge of sputum in trachea. When people get bronchitis or pneumonia or cough due to lung heat, they can directly drink salted citrus soaked in water, which can make these discomfort symptoms disappear quickly. In addition, people can also have obvious relief when they have a sore throat and hoarseness.

Relieve fatigue

2. Soaking pickled oranges in water can make people absorb rich vitamin C and some plant proteins, and can also absorb some citric acid, which can promote human metabolism, maintain the acid-base balance in the human environment and prevent the production of lactic acid in the human body. In this case, people's physical strength can be quickly recovered and their anti-fatigue ability will be significantly enhanced.

Prevention of hyperlipidemia

3. Soaking citrus in salt water can also make the human body absorb some pectin and dietary fiber. These substances can accelerate the metabolism of cholesterol and fat in the human body, and can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol by the human body. Soaking it in water often can reduce blood viscosity and prevent blood lipids from rising. Soaking salted oranges in water can also enhance the anticoagulant ability of human body, improve the activity of platelets in blood, and also have a good preventive effect on high incidence of stroke and thrombosis.

How to make salty oranges delicious?

1. Pour clear water into the basin, sprinkle a little salt, soak kumquat for 10 minute, wash, dry in the sun and coarse salt;

2. Boil the orange with clear water, the water is slightly boiling, and the orange becomes full and bright. Don't boil oranges; (This step can be omitted)

3. Put oranges in a small basket, drain and air dry for one day; If you omit the second step, you should work for a few more days until your skin wrinkles. )

4. Stir-fry coarse salt with ginger slices for later use; (You can fry without ginger slices or with other materials. )

5. Spread oranges all over the bottom of the jar, sprinkle a layer of salt, spread a layer of oranges, sprinkle another layer of salt, fill the jar, cover it and seal it;

6. You can eat it in two or three days, but the longer you leave it, the better it will taste. Therefore, it is recommended to store it for two or three years before using it, and you can make a small can every year. It is not recommended to put it in the refrigerator, which is easy to increase water vapor and lead to deterioration. It is best to keep it in a cool and dry place.

Effect of soaking salted citrus in water 2 Citrus fruits may occupy a more important position in the diet. Canadian researchers have shown that drinking several glasses of orange juice every day can increase the concentration of so-called good cholesterol in the blood, and this increase in high-density lipoprotein content can slow down the formation of arterial plaques.

In this study, the researchers monitored the changes of blood cholesterol concentration and related blood chemicals in 16 men and 9 women for 23 weeks. The results showed that the middle-aged volunteers were in good health, but the total cholesterol content in their blood increased to some extent.

In the first six weeks, each volunteer ate low-cholesterol food according to the guidelines of the American Heart Association. In the seventh week, participants began to consume 65,438+0/4 cups of orange juice every day, and then increased to 2 cups per day. In the past four weeks, all the volunteers drank three cups a day. Finally, the researchers asked the volunteers to stop eating, but they still kept a healthy diet for five weeks. The concentration of so-called inferior or low-density lipoprotein remained unchanged, but compared with the initial value, the HDL cholesterol concentration of volunteers increased by 5% when drinking one glass of orange juice every day, by 7% when drinking two glasses every day, and by 265,438+0% when drinking three glasses every day.

Even more surprising, HDL cholesterol remained high for five weeks after treatment, which was 27% higher than the initial value. In addition, researchers found that HDL can absorb more protein than at first, forming a blockage called apo-4, which can resist the occurrence of heart disease.

Earlier, researchers confirmed that an orange juice component called limonin analogue can cause changes in lipoprotein beneficial to heart health in cultured human cells. Last year, the research team published the related test tube research results of another citrus compound. They found that flavonoids hesperidin and grapefruit aglycone in orange juice and grape juice can reduce cholesterol synthesis. But the latest data show that citrus can also provide flavonoids that inhibit cholesterol, which is even more effective.

The researchers pointed out that it is important to remember that new data show that people must eat a lot of fruit juice and fruit to make cholesterol have a beneficial effect. Unfortunately, orange juice will increase blood sugar concentration.
