As for coriander, there are rumors that eating coriander will lead to impotence, which makes many men stay away from coriander. So, does eating coriander really lead to impotence?
This statement has no scientific basis. Eating coriander will not lead to male impotence. Although coriander contains some minerals, vitamins and special spices, there is no scientific evidence that eating too much coriander will lead to male impotence.
Although eating coriander will not lead to male impotence, there are indeed some people who are not suitable for eating coriander, such as the following four:
Patients with gastric ulcer:
Because of the strong smell and warm nature of coriander, it is easy for people to stimulate the gastric mucosa after eating, and it will also aggravate the heat in the stomach. Patients with gastric ulcer have excessive stomach heat and gastric mucosa ulceration. If you eat warm and spicy coriander, it is not conducive to the treatment and rehabilitation of gastric ulcer.
Those who have breath:
Coriander contains a variety of volatile aroma components and has a special smell. People with breath will make the odor in their mouths more obvious after eating coriander. Therefore, people with bad breath should try not to eat coriander, otherwise it is not conducive to improving oral odor.
People with body odor:
Coriander is warm and pungent, which can stimulate sweat gland secretion. Therefore, it is best for people with body odor to avoid eating coriander, otherwise it is easy to make the sweat glands under the armpit secrete more vigorously, thus aggravating the symptoms of body odor.
Pregnant women:
Pregnant women should not eat more coriander because pregnant women are a special group. Excessive consumption of pungent coriander is easy to cause uterine contraction and has the risk of miscarriage.
When eating coriander, be careful not to eat deteriorated coriander, because these coriander contains a lot of harmful substances such as toxins and bacteria, which will not only affect the taste, but also easily cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.
In addition, coriander should not be eaten excessively for a long time, otherwise it will easily consume the spirit, aggravate the symptoms of qi deficiency and even cause eye diseases.
Coriander is native to the Mediterranean region from southern Europe and North Africa to southwest Asia. The scientific name of coriander originated from ancient Greece. In fact, since ancient times, there have been many people who hate and resist coriander.
In China, since the opening of the Silk Road, Zhang Qian brought back many seeds from the Western Regions, including coriander, which gradually became popular and became a common vegetable on people's table.
Coriander is a plant with a strong smell. The whole plant has a very special smell, especially the seeds of coriander are more intense. However, human beings really love and hate coriander. What caused this phenomenon?
According to a survey conducted by American researchers in 20 12 years, about 2 1% of East Asians, 17% of Europeans and 14% of Africans hate coriander, while in the origin of coriander, Middle Easterners and Latins hate coriander at the lowest rates, only 3% and 4%.
American researchers found through investigation that people who hate coriander do have different genes. On the human chromosome 1 1, the olfactory receptor gene "OR6A2" can affect our sense of smell.
People who hate coriander have a genetic mutation, which makes them very sensitive to the special smell of coriander. This genetic mutation makes them dislike coriander, which seems to find the answer for people who hate coriander.
In addition, it is also possible that some people hate eating coriander because of its chemical composition. Coriander leaves contain about 40 compounds, including aldehydes and alcohols. Aldehydes are the main source of coriander odor. To some people, coriander tastes like soap because there are similar aldehydes in soap.
It seems that the position of coriander in people's minds is really different. People who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it are also annoying from the heart. So what about you, do you like coriander or hate coriander? # Legend Zero Zero Plan ##39 Health Super Group #
