In late autumn and early winter, chestnuts begin to produce, which has high nutritional value and is rich in vitamins B, C, and nutrients such as potassium, gluten, and dietary fiber. Xu Jiajing, a nutritionist at Dalirenai Hospital, said that chestnuts are very high in content, and each 100 grams contains 758 mg of the pot, which is twice as much as bananas, which helps lower blood pressure and relieve hydration. The dietary fiber content is also very high, reaching 10.4 grams, which promotes stomach health and is the first choice for people with heavy weight reduction.
Xu Jiajing said that chestnuts belong to the "Sail Flood Family" plant. They have a hard shell. The flesh after the shell is removed is dense and soft. They are a low-sugar-raising powdered food, and contain high-quality oils and proteins. For those who want to reduce weight, you can eat chestnuts appropriately instead of some white food, which is low in heat and can increase the feeling of footwork.
The dietary stamina of chestnuts is a nourishing bacteria in the kidneys. It can maintain health of the kidneys, increase the moisture content of the stool, help to defecate smoothly and prevent secretions. However, Xu Jiajing reminded that the high-quality characteristics of chestnuts are sensitive to the kidneys and stomach. Eating too much is easy to cause gastric energy, and patients with gastritis and stomach aches should avoid eating it.
The pit content of chestnuts is higher, which can eliminate excess salt content in the body and regulate blood pressure, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, Xu Jiajing reminds that patients with kidney disease can only eat small amounts, because foods with high protein content are more burdened to kidney friends. Because their ability to eliminate ion in the body decreases, hyperemia is prone to occur in the body.
There are fewer fresh chestnuts on the market. Zhongpu Township, Chiayi County, is the only town in Taiwan where golden chestnuts are grown in large noodles. After buying them, they can be boiled or steamed. Generally, supermarkets or marketers sell sweet chestnuts to facilitate cooking. Xu Jiajing said that 12 chestnuts are equal to 1 bowl of rice. It is recommended that you control your food in proportion and replace the staple food, but each time you eat it, up to 8 to 10 pieces.
The stores that sell north and south goods also have dried chestnuts. Xu Jiajing recommends that you can cook chestnuts in a 1 to 1 ratio, or make chestnut soup in your home. The autumn and winter nourishment will have a great nourishing effect on the body.
