Do you have this feeling? When it comes to bananas, they are either rich in potassium, which can lower blood pressure, rich in dietary fiber, which can moisten the bowels and relieve constipation, or diet food, which is delicious and fun.
Dr. clove really doesn’t know whether to cry or… to cry.
About banana [stereotype], look at how many mistakes you have made.
Bananas Prevent Hypertension? 11 required
If bananas can prevent hypertension, the premise is: eat 11 bananas a day.
This is really not a scare. Dr. Clove, let’s give you a math lesson first.
It is known that 1:
To effectively prevent chronic diseases such as hypertension, you should eat 3600 milligrams of potassium every day.
2:
The potassium content of bananas is not bad. 100g of peeled banana meat contains about 250mg of potassium.
Solved:
I have to eat 1440 grams of banana meat every day, and then convert the weight of epithelium, that is, I have to eat 4 kg of bananas, about 11 pieces, to eat enough potassium.
See, eating bananas alone to supplement potassium and lower blood pressure is simply unrealistic.
Banana weight loss? Maybe you will get fat.
Some people may ask the previous math problem. If you really eat 11 bananas a day, hypertension will be prevented and calories will not be high. Isn’t it very slimming?
Well, if math is OK, the total calorie of 11 bananas is about 1300 kilocalories, which is much less than the 1800 kilocalories that adult women should normally eat in a day.
However, most of the calories are carbohydrates, to put it bluntly, sugar, sugar, sugar. Not high in calories but high in sugar will still make you fat.
Moreover, important nutrients such as protein are very lacking. If you rely on [banana diet] or any other fruit diet, you will not only lose weight, but also suffer from nutritional imbalance and edema. Besides, how can you be happy with such a diet?
Therefore, Dr. Clove often suggests that everyone:
To lose weight, fruit is recommended not to exceed 200g per day, which is about the size of a fist. And… Exercise.
Banana moist sausage? Maybe constipation
Many friends always habitually feel that bananas are smooth in taste and appearance, so they can [moisten the bowels and relieve constipation].
However, one of the keys to improving constipation is not [moistening intestines], but eating more dietary fiber.
The cellulose content of bananas is not high.
The fiber content of common apples, oranges, pears and pitaya is significantly higher than that of bananas. If it is more than that, it is not good to eat more vegetables every day. The fiber content is high and the calories are much lower.
In addition, the content of [tannic acid] in immature bananas is very high, which is easy to cause constipation.
Obviously, no matter ripe bananas or raw bananas, the effect of relieving constipation is not very good.
However, these characteristics of bananas, coupled with their components to protect intestinal mucosa, have relatively high potassium content and high starch content and calories, which are more suitable for diarrhea patients to stop diarrhea.
Therefore, Dr. Clove would like to ask everyone if you are the same:
When you talk about vitamin C, you think of lemons and oranges?
When you say carotene, you think of carrots?
When spinach is mentioned, oxalic acid is thought of?
When celery is mentioned, one thinks of lowering blood pressure?
When it comes to physical problems, I think of asking Dr. Clove?
