During the Chinese New Year, the ritual of "eating" occupies most of the time, visiting relatives and friends, gathering and chatting, and all kinds of snacks are indispensable on the table. We asked the dietitian to pick out some healthy ones among the snacks on the shelves, let's take a look.
The dietitian recommended to us that there are two categories of snacks suitable for the Spring Festival, one is plain dried fruits, and the other is nuts. Original dried fruits such as raisins, red dates, and dried longan, although some vitamins will be lost, dietary fiber and many minerals such as potassium will not be lost, and appropriate supplementation is very good. Although nuts are relatively high in calories, there are many essential fatty acids in nuts, and they are relatively small in the daily diet.
Wu Jia, Deputy Secretary-General of the Nutrition Literacy Branch of the China Health Promotion and Education Association: Actually, we recommend that everyone eat plain, low-temperature grilled, and not fried. In fact, in the past, there were still few such flavors in China, and many foreign flavors were wrapped in a variety of flavors, so we want to buy the original flavor, and we will also make a comparison with the most traditional Chinese flavors.
This is an ordinary flavorful melon seed, for example, let's look at the ingredient list, it has sunflower seeds, salt, white sugar, and various spices, and then food additives are added, there is cyclamate or something, that is, a pile of sweetened acesulfame potassium and sodium saccharin, and then let's take a look at its sodium content, 1200 mg per 100 grams.
Doesn't many people say that eating melon seeds will cause fire after eating? Why are there some who are on fire? One of the reasons for it may be that some people swallow it directly by mouth, that is, when they swallow, it will damage the oral mucosa, and the nuts are particularly hard.
Another reason is that the salt content is too high, and if the salt content is too high, it will make you angry, which is actually a manifestation of inflammation. So in fact, eating a little plain food is not so easy to get angry, and the body will be more comfortable.
