During the Chinese New Year, visiting relatives and friends, gathering and chatting, all kinds of snacks are indispensable on the table. What kind of snacks are relatively healthy to eat?
The dietitian recommended two categories of snacks suitable for the Spring Festival, one is the original dried fruit, 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, so it is good to supplement appropriately. Although nuts are relatively high in calories, nuts contain a lot of essential fatty acids, 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: We recommend that everyone eat plain, low-temperature roasted, not fried. Look at the ingredient list of flavored melon seeds, add sunflower seeds, salt and white sugar, as well as various spices, and also add food additive cyclamate, which is the sweetening acesulfame potassium. It has a sodium content of 1200 mg per 100 grams.
Reporter: What is the problem with high sodium content?
Wu Jia, Deputy Secretary-General of the Nutrition Literacy Branch of the China Health Promotion and Education Association: Many people will get hot after eating melon seeds, one reason is that they are very hard, and they will damage the oral mucosa when they are knocked. Another reason is that the salt content is too high, which will make you angry, which is actually a manifestation of inflammation. So in fact, eating plain food is not so easy to get angry, and the body will be more comfortable.
