What are the taboos for eating cucumbers? Cucumber is a kind of food that people often eat in daily life. It tastes delicious, and can be eaten raw or fried. It has the effect of losing weight and resisting aging, but eating cucumber is also taboo. What are the taboos for eating cucumbers?
What are the taboos for eating cucumbers? 1 First of all, what can't cucumbers eat with * * *
1, spinach
Spinach is extremely rich in nutrition and is known as the "king of vegetables". However,100g of spinach contains about 300mg of oxalic acid, and the iron content in spinach is not very high, so it does not have a strong blood-enriching effect. Only 10% of iron can be absorbed in the intestine.
The rest will react with oxalic acid in spinach to form insoluble matter, which can not be well absorbed by human body, and will also hinder the absorption and utilization of iron by human body.
Cucumber contains a catabolic enzyme substance, so when cucumber and spinach are eaten together, vitamin C contained in spinach will be destroyed by catabolic enzymes in cucumber, thus greatly reducing its activity.
Eating cucumber and spinach together will not show any specific harm in a short time, but it will reduce the absorption of vitamin C by human body over time, which is very harmful to human health.
The human body constantly produces waste gas every day. Due to some inappropriate eating habits, it is easy to produce heavy metals in the body. Only by cleaning up these heavy metals harmful to human body in time can we build a solid barrier for human health.
Vitamin C has a good detoxification effect on heavy metals, so only by maintaining enough vitamin C in the body can the heavy metals in the body be detoxified in time, thus greatly reducing the risk of cancer such as gastric cancer.
Moreover, vitamin C can also promote the conversion of cholesterol into cholic acid, thus effectively reducing the formation of oxidized substances, and also plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, eating spinach and cucumber together is like taking poison indirectly, which blocks the absorption of vitamin C, thus increasing the risk of cancer and threatening human health.
2. peanuts
On the dining table of many families, you can often see the cold dishes of cucumber and peanut, which are welcomed by people. This delicious cold dish can be said to be an excellent refreshing cold dish
However, many people don't think there is anything wrong with eating peanuts and cucumbers together. Instead, they think these two foods are "fresh", but they don't know that eating foods containing peanuts and cucumbers often will cause serious harm to people's health. Why?
Because cucumber tastes sweet and cold, peanuts contain a lot of oil. Therefore, the combination of cold cucumber and oily peanuts will increase lubricity.
Being invisible is like injecting a "toxin" into the human body. After being ingested by the human body, it will cause adverse symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea, which will seriously damage gastrointestinal health.
Gastrointestinal tract is the most important digestive and absorptive organ of human body, the main source to absorb food nutrition and maintain the nutrients needed by human body, and plays an extremely important role in the normal development of various functions of human body. Therefore, having a healthy stomach plays an important role in human health.
Therefore, we must reduce the frequency of eating cucumbers and peanuts in our daily diet, especially friends with poor gastrointestinal function.
Second, the powerful effect of cucumber
1, eating cucumber tail can prevent cancer.
Cucumber is a kind of food that many people often eat and is favored by many people. But many people have such a misunderstanding when eating cucumbers, that is, they are not used to eating tails and choose to throw them away. I wonder if the cucumber tail we throw away as garbage can prevent tumors well.
Because the tail of cucumber contains a lot of picroside, it is the main component of cancer prevention. Therefore, don't throw your tail away when eating cucumbers.
2, whitening and rejuvenating
Cucumber can not only be eaten, but also be made into facial mask, which is the first choice for skin rejuvenation. Because the fluorescent agent contained in many masks on the market now has caused serious damage to people's skin, which is very unfavorable to skin health.
Then you can put cucumber slices on your face before going to bed every night and wait for about 5 minutes to wash them clean. After washing the face, we will feel that the whole mask is in a tender, smooth and white state.
What are the taboos for eating cucumbers? 2. The nutritional function of cucumber.
1, water supply
Summer is a time when people lose water easily. Besides drinking more water, they can also eat more cucumbers. The water content of cucumber is the highest among all fruits and vegetables, reaching 96. 7%, whether you eat or cut your face, is a good choice.
Step 2 supplement nutrition
Cucumber contains vitamins, protein, carotene, calcium, phosphorus, iron and so on. It's hot in summer, and people's appetite is generally not very good. Eating more cucumbers can supplement human nutrition.
3. Fresh breath
Many people's bad breath is caused by oral diseases. Cucumber is good for gums. Eating cucumber regularly can refresh your breath. Moreover, the dietary fiber in cucumber can also prevent constipation and reduce the occurrence of bad breath.
Step 4 wake up
Although drinking too much wine is harmful to your health, it is difficult to completely avoid this situation in your life. If you really drink too much, you can eat cucumber, which contains effective substances such as alanine, arginine and glutamine, which can reduce the toxic effect of alcohol on the liver and relieve hangover.
5, lowering blood sugar
The sugar contained in cucumber does not participate in sugar metabolism, so there is no need to worry that eating cucumber will raise blood sugar, on the contrary, it can lower blood sugar. Because cucumber contains a hormone, which can promote the secretion of insulin by the pancreas and prevent diabetes.
Step 6 lose weight
Another effect that many women are familiar with is that they can lose weight. Cucumber contains malonic acid, which can inhibit the conversion of sugar into fat. Moreover, the cellulose in cucumber can promote the excretion of toxins in the body, which can not only lose weight, but also be beneficial to health.
Second, how to choose cucumbers
1, variety
The common varieties of cucumber are thorn cucumber, whip cucumber, short cucumber and small cucumber, with different tastes. Among them, thorn cucumber has the most crisp meat and the best quality. Therefore, when choosing cucumbers, it is best to choose pricked cucumbers.
This cucumber has a rod-shaped body with a longitudinal ridge. There are protruding black tumors on the surface of tender melons, which are covered with bristles. Cucumber has small flesh, few seeds, crisp meat and good quality. It can be used for raw food and cooked food. The famous varieties are Beijing small thorn melon and big thorn melon, Shandong Wenshang cucumber, Xianyang big thorn melon and so on.
2, look at the melon thorns
Thorns are very important, but not the more the better, but the more tender the better! If the thorns on the cucumber skin are small and dense, they will break when touched lightly, and this kind of cucumber will be tender and delicious. Those cucumbers with big thorns and sparse thorns don't taste like cucumbers. If there are no thorns, it means that the cucumber is old.
Step 3 pinch with your hands
Pinch the cucumber with your fingernails, it feels crisp and tender, and the water cucumber is fresh and tender.
4. Look at the color of the melon
Melons with bright green and longitudinal edges are tender melons. Yellow or nearly yellow melons are old melons. Green and black melons are more delicious, while light green cucumbers are not.
5. Look at these vertical stripes
The vertical lines on the delicious cucumber epidermis are prominent, which can be detected by touching them with your hands. And those cucumbers with smooth surfaces and no vertical stripes are not delicious.
Third, the precautions for eating cucumbers
1, cucumber should be eaten raw as fruit, not too much.
2. There are fewer vitamins in cucumber, so you should eat some other fruits and vegetables while eating cucumber regularly.
3. The tail of cucumber contains more picroside, which has anti-cancer effect, so don't throw away all the tail of cucumber.
4. People with liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and hypertension should not eat pickled cucumbers.
