Do you eat fruit in summer?

This topic sounds ridiculous, but it is not. Few people think about it. First, the naming of fruit seems ridiculous, but it is still not ridiculous. Let's first look at how foreigners describe fruit: fruit: the fleshy and seeded part of a plant as food. Break it down: "fleshy", "containing seeds", "a plant" and "used as food". You can see which "foods" we usually contact meet these conditions. According to the definition of foreigners, at least cucumbers and tomatoes should belong to fruits, but how many of us think cucumbers and tomatoes are fruits? Maybe it doesn't matter whether they are regarded as fruits or not. The important thing is that in the past, especially when I was young, fruit was a luxury. Although apples and pears are rarely eaten, let alone oranges, kiwis and lychees, cucumbers, tomatoes and cantaloupes are not lacking. Of course, living in different areas will have different feelings of enjoyment. At that time, no matter how poor Shandong people were, they would never think that eating apples was a kind of advanced enjoyment, but for me, Nantong people were only qualified to chew the skin of apples (this is not sensational). In fact, cucumbers and tomatoes are highly nutritious "plants" and "foods"-fruits. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, folic acid, oxalic acid and so on. Today, many city people no longer despise them. Although their "geographical location" is still in food stalls, it doesn't look elegant, but customers who often buy vegetables know that their prices are sometimes not cheaper than traditional fruits. I know a friend who puts the cucumbers cooked by her mother in a small handbag every morning and enjoys them alone in her spare time. Cucumber juice is often served in restaurants, which is considered to have a cosmetic effect, but so far no one thinks cucumber is a fruit. On the contrary, what do bananas belong to? Because it has no "seed", it should not be classified as a fruit, but no one has never thought that it is a fruit. Second, about the time to eat fruit in the morning? Noon? At night? Before dinner? After dinner? Before going to bed? In fact, there is no need to stick to these concepts of time. It is better to define it as "free time". There is a group of people who only eat fruit at noon or at night, eat only an apple or pear and eat nothing else. who is it? Lose weight! What is the reason? Tell the reader that this is the right thing to do. Fruit is a kind of plant, which is much smaller than animal meat in terms of heat/volume ratio, but it can be used as a good diet food because of its large size and limited heat. I always tell my patients that exercise is definitely not a good way to lose weight. On the one hand, few people can persist in exercising for a long time, and the effect of short-term exercise may be counterproductive. On the other hand, the increase in food intake after exercise can be described as "adding insult to injury" and "not worth the loss": getting fatter and heavier. I advise obese people to go on a diet, and I advise people with fatty liver and hyperlipidemia to go on a diet. One way is to eat an apple or two cucumbers at noon every day without eating any other food. Of course, it takes perseverance. There are several successful people in our hospital. Secondly, obese people can eat especially. I told them to eat before going to bed every night. They were 60% full and slept relatively satisfactorily. Why? Imagine: can he (she) lose weight by eating at 5: 30 or 6: 00 every night, eating too much meat and filling his stomach? About eating fruit 1. Is the peel edible? I read a very creative popular science article before, which described it as follows: the nutrition of fruit skin is higher than that of pulp. Don't peel the fruit. This is really an unstable record. This reminds me of a story about a rabbit teasing a monkey: at first, the monkey refused to eat peanuts. Ask the rabbit to eat shells or peanuts. Rabbits think these monkeys are too arrogant to take our little rabbits seriously at all. Today, they can play a trick on it once, so they tell the monkey: Of course, they ate the shell. Although the shell is hard, it is the most nutritious. We never eat peanuts. The monkey peeled the peanuts, threw away the pulp and tasted the peanut shells with relish. The rabbits doubled up with laughter. The monkey found himself cheated, and quickly threw away the unfinished peanut shell, picked up the peanut and was about to put it in his mouth. The rabbits suddenly stopped laughing and pretended to be very serious: "Monkey, did you really throw away the peanut shell?" We're just kidding you! In fact, peanuts should be eaten with shells and fruits, which is comprehensive in nutrition and saves trouble. " The monkey, who has been clever all his life, was confused for a while and put on a normal arrogant look: "Hum, you think I don't know?" I'm just peeling peanuts to see if the fruit inside is fresh. "So I picked up the peanut shell and stuffed it into my mouth with the fruit." Ha ha ha! The rabbits went away laughing, leaving the monkeys at a loss. Of course, this is just a joke, but a joke can reflect some truth. Forget the monkey's embarrassment. We only say that the skin (shell), whether it is skin or shell, is the protective layer of plants. Its functions include keeping the shape of fruit, keeping water and preventing pests from invading. Its nutrients are definitely not as good as pulp, because the fiber content in the peel is higher and the fiber cannot be digested and absorbed. Do you think we should eat peel or pulp? I want to work in the same office as you. You eat the peel and I eat the pulp. Haha, just kidding. What needs special reminder is that you should never eat the peel, because now fruit farmers often spray pesticides after the fruit is formed in order to prevent insects, and these pesticides remain in the peel, so eating the peel is not good for your health. 2. Juice in the hotel. I suggest you be careful with the juice in the wine shop. At least in the case that some hotels are not standardized at present, please drink less freshly squeezed juice from hotels with low grade and poor hygiene management. The reasons are simple: First, the quality of the selected fruits is mixed; Second, the treatment process is unsanitary. I witnessed with my own eyes that cucumbers with dirt were invited to the table; I once found the hotel staff diluting the juice with tap water under my nose. So I suggest you drink boiled corn juice. About the way this family handles fruit. Generally speaking, the most primitive and simple way to deal with it is of course to peel and chew it. If it is more elegant, it will be cut into pieces, put it in a basin, put a toothpick (whether it is necessary or hygienic is another matter), poke it and throw it into your mouth. There is a more elegant way to make fruit juice and give your teeth a good rest. I don't object to drinking fruit juice. I belong to the "noble" who drinks fruit juice. However, I need to ask a question. What kind of mixer do you use at home? If you use the kind of machine that discharges dregs-free juice, then you have made at least two mistakes: one is wasting time and water and electricity; Second, maybe the first waste is not important, because you have plenty of time, you don't care about wasting the water that is the source of life, and you don't care about paying more electricity bills, but you ignore an important problem, just like we foolishly prepared soybean milk instead of eating beans directly: you threw away a lot of pulp so foolishly, and maybe you don't think this loss is a pity, but what I want to say may not be a pity or a pity, but because it is unnecessary to do so. You should buy a machine that is only the size of a thermos cup and can crush the whole fruit. When pressing fruit with it, put some warm water into the cup, add some honey or sugar, turn on the machine for 1 min, and you can drink it off with residue and juice. If it's a family, don't wash the cups, continue to make a few cups. This method is simple and economical, and all the fruit ingredients are preserved. Don't buy yet! Don't get me wrong, I don't have a shop selling that kind of machine, but I have two at home and gave them to my parents and in-laws. Fourth, who should eat fruit, everyone should laugh. Can't anyone eat fruit? Yes and no; Or someone can let go of their stomachs and eat, and someone must control their intake; In other words, some people can eat it whole, while others should chew it slowly. It is still very learned here. Do you think modern people are tired? Maybe you will blame me. Why does Professor Miao complicate simple problems? Just eating fruit! Don't worry, listen to me slowly. First of all, it is self-evident that fruits are rich in nutrition; Secondly, eating fruit is actually a taste enjoyment, because most fruits are naturally sweet, naturally fragrant and naturally crisp; Thirdly, some diseases need to be supplemented with nutrition from fruits. So, how can you not eat fruit? In fact, it's not that you can't eat, but how much and how to eat. For example, diabetic patients, we should completely change the concept of not eating, and should decide how much to eat according to the specific situation. Indeed, because of the high sugar content of fruit, if the blood sugar is not well controlled, eating too much at one time will lead to serious complications of diabetes. Therefore, the most important thing for diabetics is to master three points: first, don't eat too much at a time, you can eat it many times; Second, you can eat with confidence if your blood sugar is well controlled; Third, patients with severe insulin deficiency should take hypoglycemic drugs before taking them. Patients with liver disease, especially patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with esophageal and gastric varices, must eat fruits carefully. For this kind of patients, we advocate drinking the fruit after crushing it, rather than chewing it, because chewing the fruit incompletely, blocky and angular is likely to rupture blood vessels and cause varicose veins in esophagus and gastric fundus to rupture and massive bleeding. This situation is not uncommon in clinic. It is suggested that the families of patients with severe liver disease should also learn to take care of patients. Supplementing fruit is very important for patients with liver disease, but it is equally important in diet. It is best to drink after juicing. But if you have ascites, you should also master the amount of water added. As for people who are seriously ill, have a fever, stay up late, have a fever and sweat too much, it is recommended to eat more fruits. Five, some simple questions, but there are still misunderstandings 1. Rotten fruit must not be eaten. Rotten fruit contains a lot of toxins and will have germs. If you don't want to throw it away, there is no reward for eating it. Some people will cut off the rotten part and eat the "good" part, which is actually wrong. The rotten part of the fruit is no longer a "good" part, because the fruit is actually a "living" thing, and its plant cells are still alive, breathing and metabolizing, so the "body" is still circulating. Therefore, some parts are sick, and other parts are bound to have problems. It is better to be a great success in today's living conditions. Besides, everyone knows the story about eating rotten fruit forever. I repeat here: I've been eating rotten fruit since it started. There is no need to explain why. 2. save. Most fruits can be stored for a longer time at low temperature, but this is not recommended, because the fresher the fruit, the higher the nutritional content. As mentioned above, fruits are "alive", which can keep their survival time in the refrigerator, but they are still metabolized after all, so don't store them for too long to avoid nutrient loss. If there are too many fruits at home to eat at one time, you can put them in the refrigerator to extend the storage time, but pay attention to moisturizing, because the refrigerator can easily dry the fruits. Another thing to remind everyone is that bananas should not be stored in the refrigerator, which will accelerate the blackening of banana skins, which will not only affect the appearance, but also shorten the storage time of bananas. 3. dried fruit. Preparing dried fruits is a means that fruit farmers can't solve the seasonal sales problem, but if you think it's a way to eat, it's all wet, such as raisins and dried apples, and most of the nutrients have been lost. What's more, drying fruit to make potato chips is definitely a waste of fruit. Although fruit slices still retain some nutrients, they can never compare with fresh fruits. Of course, now everyone is not short of nutrition, and the fruit supply is sufficient. In order to meet the diverse needs of food and different tastes, we don't have to be too opposed to the post-processing of fruit. Fruit is a good food, so I suggest you eat more.
