Do not know when to begin, people began to have food in the nutrition of a model view. That certain nutrients, must make people think a certain food, but said that certain foods tend to make people think of a nutrition-related components.
For example, when they are vitamin C, people immediately think of lemon and orange; a K said, people immediately think of bananas; one comes carotene, people will surely think of carrots; the mention of the spinach,buy mortal gold, immediately think of oxalic acid; one comes celery, immediately think of blood pressure … …
In fact, the food’s health effect is not so modular. Many of the nutritional truth will make us very surprised! Do not believe it? Look at the nutritional value of food following a few examples:
Who is the champion of food in the potassium
Potassium contained in taro, bananas and more than 50%. In fact, all potatoes are an excellent source of potassium. As long as the bowl of rice or potato starch content changed to the same intake of potassium can be increased by 10 times! Urine output were larger, such as diabetes, kidney patients, gout patients, hypertension patients, as well as those who eat too salty, too much potassium loss is easy to eat potato alternative staple food is a good idea.
In fact, among the green leafy vegetables and potassium than bananas abound, such as spinach, kale, lettuce leaves, water spinach, amaranth, Gynura so. Since the Chinese people to eat a variety of leafy green vegetables, why we must and do not like vegetables, like Westerners do turn to bananas?
The real good source of magnesium
Magnesium for strong bones, control blood pressure are important, also known as “anti-stress nutrients.” But the mention of the magnesium, people usually think of bananas or. In fact, it is only fruit of magnesium title only. Almost all of the dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of magnesium, the content can reach or even exceed the level of banana. The reason is simple: each of which contain chlorophyll molecule of a magnesium ion, so the more the color green, the more magnesium.
Another good source of magnesium is nuts and seeds, such as 50-Kersee seeds to eat, eat the equivalent of 200 grams of greens and magnesium. However, green leafy vegetables, bananas heat only one third of the twentieth nuts about. So, mortal gold,if Papan, then eat greens and added potassium and magnesium is the best choice.
Do not eat green leafy vegetables can also add vitamin C
Tomato is generally considered vegetables in the vitamin C leader, in fact, potatoes contained more than vitamin C than tomatoes! Not only potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, yam and other potato products that contain a lot of vitamin C. Among a variety of green leafy vegetables contain vitamin C, basically more than tomatoes.
Green pepper is indeed the vitamin C in vegetables champion, but it is relatively low acidity, vitamin C loss in the cooking which is relatively large. Although the vitamin C content of potatoes is only one-third of green pepper, but starch on vitamin C has a strong protective effect, potato cooking process in the vitamin C loss is small. Thus, if the potatoes do staple foods, even if not eating other fruits and vegetables, vitamin C can meet human needs. Northerners could not get past the winter vegetables, many people have no lack of vitamin C, because they often use potatoes and sweet potatoes as staple food.
Summary
To understand the nutritional value of food, do not just remember a few so-called “representatives”, in fact, many of the nutritional value of food is not worse than them, but less well-known it. Therefore, do not rigidly adhere to a healthy diet food, the most important thing is reasonable with various types of food. A food you do not like, can be replaced with other foods. This is not a more relaxed, more happy?
