It is said that melon seeds are junk food. Can you eat more melon seeds?

Don't eat too much. Eating too much melon seeds can cause obesity, excessive internal heat and other discomfort, and also damage teeth and liver, affecting the detoxification function of liver.

Although melon seeds are a kind of leisure snacks that can be seen everywhere and taste attractive, you can't eat more, which will be harmful to your health. In particular, the melon seeds sold in the market are all fried with spices, and some chemicals will be added during the frying process, which is harmful to the health if eaten frequently. In addition, melon seeds are rich in fat and protein, and excessive consumption of melon seeds will lead to weight gain and obesity.

First, the damage to teeth.

You can't eat more melon seeds, because eating too many melon seeds will damage teeth, destroy the enamel on the surface of people's teeth, and affect the beauty and chewing ability of teeth. In severe cases, there will be gaps in people's teeth, so the teeth can't be completely repaired, and the teeth will loosen and fall off after a long time.

Second, it leads to excessive internal heat.

Eating too much melon seeds will also lead to excessive internal heat, because some salt and sugar will be added in the process of frying melon seeds, plus some greasy ingredients contained in them. Eating too much will make the body absorb too much heat, and it is easy for heat to accumulate in the body, thus causing various symptoms such as excessive internal heat, sore mouth, sore throat and oral ulcer. These are the main manifestations of excessive internal heat, so although melon seeds are good, you can't eat more.

Third, it affects the health of the liver.

Eating too much melon seeds will also affect the health of the liver, because in the process of frying melon seeds, pigment essence and saccharin will be added, and some chemical components that can improve the taste and fragrance will be added. These substances will be decomposed and metabolized by the liver after entering the human body, which will easily increase the burden on the liver, affect the detoxification ability of the liver, and make liver diseases high, which is not good for health. If people eat those moldy melon seeds for a long time and have certain carcinogenicity, then cancer will be high and human health will be more serious.

Although melon seeds are not really junk food, you should not eat more, and it is better to eat the original melon seeds when eating. It is safer to fry them without other substances. Those melon seeds with fragrance and pigment must be eaten less to avoid harm to the body.
