Functions and indications of Cucumber No.3

1, cucumber is cold, and eating too much may cause diarrhea.

If people are weak and prone to diarrhea, eating too much cucumber will aggravate diarrhea and is not suitable for people with cold constitution.

2. Pickled cucumbers will be obese if you eat too much.

People who want to lose weight should eat more cucumbers, but remember, they must eat fresh cucumbers, not pickled cucumbers, because pickled cucumbers can lead to obesity.

3. Some people eat more cucumbers because they are used as fruits to supplement nutrition, and cucumbers should not be eaten as fruits.

As a kind of fruit, cucumber should not be eaten raw, and there are few vitamins in cucumber, so you should eat some other fruits and vegetables while eating cucumber regularly.

Eating cucumbers in this way is twice as harmful.

1, cucumbers can't be eaten with tomatoes.

Because cucumber contains a vitamin C decomposing enzyme, it will destroy vitamin C in other vegetables. The more vitamin C content in food, the more serious it will be destroyed by decomposing enzymes in cucumber.

Tomatoes are typical vegetables rich in vitamin C. If we eat them together, the vitamin C we get from tomatoes will be destroyed by the catabolic enzymes in cucumbers, and basically the nutritional supplement effect will not be achieved.

In addition, peppers, cauliflower, celery, bitter gourd and other vegetables also contain more vitamin C. It is best not to eat them with cucumbers. Vitamin C-decomposing enzymes can destroy vitamin C in other foods. Although it is harmless to human body, it will reduce the absorption of vitamin C.

If you want to supplement vitamin C with pepper, celery, Chinese kale and bitter gourd, you'd better not eat it with cucumber.

This cold dish is served in many families and restaurants. But the collocation of cucumber and peanut is very unscientific. Cucumber is sweet, cold and often eaten raw, while peanuts are oily.

Generally speaking, if cold food meets oil, it will increase its smoothness and may also lead to diarrhea, so it is not suitable for eating together. Especially friends with poor gastrointestinal function, it is best not to eat both, even if they eat together, it is best not to eat more.

3. Don't throw away all the "cucumber heads"

The tail of cucumber contains more bitter elements, so don't throw away all the "cucumber heads". Flavonoids have a unique effect on digestive tract inflammation. It can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice, produce a large number of digestive enzymes, and greatly increase people's appetite. Bitter can not only strengthen the stomach, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digestion, clear away liver-fire and soothe the nerves, but also prevent influenza.
