Let's get a little more healthy and healthy every day!
Every Spring Festival, it is a day for every household to set fruit plates and welcome guests. As the "protagonist" of the Spring Festival fruit plate, nuts can not only add to the festive atmosphere, but also bring benefits to the body by choosing the right variety and eating the right way.
So, how to pick nuts and how to eat them healthier?
First, let's get to know the members of the nut family. Nuts are generally divided into four main categories: walnuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts. Each nut has its own unique nutritional value, and eating it in moderation is beneficial for your health.
How do you choose the "best" among the many nuts?
1.Look at the place of origin:
When choosing nuts, the origin is important. The main production areas of walnuts, almonds and other nuts in China are in Xinjiang, Gansu and other places. Nuts from these regions are of superior quality, delicious and nutritious.
2.Look at the appearance:
When picking nuts, pay attention to the completeness, color, and shine of the appearance. The nut shell should be intact, undamaged, natural in color, and bright in shine. Avoid buying ones that are dull in color and have cavities in the shell.
3.Smell the smell:
Pick up a nut and sniff it gently. Fresh nuts have a strong natural flavor and no odor. If there is an abnormal smell such as musty smell and sour taste, it means that the nuts have deteriorated and should not be purchased.
4.Taste the taste:
When buying nuts, you can taste them on the spot. Fresh nuts are delicious, full of kernels and free of impurities. If the taste is poor, greasy, or off-flavor, the nuts are not of good quality.
Next, let's talk about how to eat nuts healthier.
1.Control your intake:
Although nuts are highly nutritious, they are higher in calories. Adults should consume a moderate amount of nuts every day, generally no more than 30 grams per day, that is, a small handful.
2.Dispersed consumption:
Spread the nuts out at different times of the day and eat them to avoid too much at once.
3.Pay attention to the taste:
The original flavor is the best, and avoid excessive consumption of processed nuts such as salt-fried and icing. If you have any allergies, discontinue consumption immediately and seek medical help.
4.Serve with food:
Eating it with fruits, vegetables, etc., can improve the nutritional value and enrich the taste. For example, it can be paired with a glass of freshly squeezed juice, which can not only relieve greasyness, but also replenish vitamins.
Finally, I would like to share an interesting little fact about nuts for you:
The antioxidants in nuts, such as the -3 fatty acids in walnuts, help increase brain vitality. During the Spring Festival, eat more nuts to make your mind more flexible and help you cope with various occasions easily!
In short, in the joyous moment of the Spring Festival, while enjoying delicious food, we should also pay attention to health. I wish you all a peaceful and happy Spring Festival!
