Eating raw eggplant is very popular in cities.
Ms. Zhang, who is losing weight, bought a bunch of purple eggplant, washed the raw eggplant and cut it into strips, and began to dip it in egg sauce. Ms. Zhang said, "fried eggplant and fried eggplant oil are both very big. It is unhealthy to eat so much oil with eggplant. After eating raw eggplant, when it enters the body, it can absorb a lot of oil in the gastrointestinal tract. Eating raw eggplant will definitely have the effect of losing weight and lowering blood fat. "
Mr. Yang, who has been engaged in health care for a long time, said: "Eating raw food is actually a healthy way of health care. Many nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body in the process of eating raw food. Many people eat raw food abroad. But eating raw food should be carried out under the guidance of experts. Not everything can be eaten raw. "
Two other women engaged in education said: I have heard that eating raw eggplant is good for health, but I am not sure whether it can really reduce weight, blood fat, blood pressure and even prevent cancer. They just saw some people around me eating eggplant. One of the ladies' mothers-in-law now eats eggplant raw every night.
Can eating raw eggplant really reduce weight?
Whether eating raw eggplant is beneficial to health, whether it can reduce weight, blood pressure and blood fat, recently interviewed relevant experts, and some health experts questioned the weight loss method of eating raw eggplant.
According to a nutritionist from the Food College of Northeast Agricultural University, in fact, the substance that can absorb oil in eggplant is mainly dietary fiber, and whether eggplant absorbs oil has little to do with the raw and cooked eggplant. Because oil absorption is done by dietary fiber, and temperature does not change the physical and chemical properties of dietary fiber. You can also eat steamed eggplant if you want to put a lot of oil in cooking and frying eggplant. There is no need to eat raw eggplant.
Experts pointed out: "The most important thing is that eating raw eggplant is easy to be poisoned. Raw eggplant contains a toxin called solanine, and germinated potatoes also contain more of this substance. Generally, some solanine will decompose when heated. Eggplant is usually decomposed by cooking methods such as steaming and stewing to remove toxicity. " The harm of a very small amount of solanine to human body may not be obvious, but if you eat too much solanine at a time, 15 minutes to 3 hours later, you may have symptoms such as itching of mouth and throat and upper abdominal pain. When the symptoms are mild, it will heal itself through its own detoxification function after 1-2 hours. If the intake exceeds the scope of its own detoxification function, the symptoms will be very serious, such as rising body temperature, repeated vomiting, even breathing difficulties, blood pressure drop and many other uncomfortable symptoms.
Dr Li Chunming said that not all vegetables can be eaten raw, and some vegetables are very easy to cause poisoning and even cancer. Generally speaking, the solanine content in old eggplant is high. If you eat tender and eat less, you may not have obvious symptoms of acute poisoning. But it cannot be asserted that eating raw eggplant will not cause poisoning. When the lips feel numb, you need to be vigilant. There is no scientific basis for thinking that eating raw eggplant is more effective than eating cooked eggplant to lose weight and drain oil. It is obviously unreasonable and unfounded to replace breakfast with raw eggplant.
Expert analysis, eating eggplant to lose weight will be poisoned.
Losing weight has nothing to do with "eggplant"
Some data show that eggplant is cold and cannot be eaten raw. Eating it raw may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, because eggplant is alkaline, and eating it raw will have astringent taste.
Director Li Chunming said that eggplant is just an ordinary vegetable, but it is not as magical as the legend. The so-called view that eggplant can be defatted when eaten raw is not scientific and accurate. Because eggplant absorbs oil when cooking and oil when it is hot. If eggplant is placed at 37℃, even if it is soaked in oil, it can't absorb so much oil at all-and the temperature of human stomach is 37℃, not above 100℃ for cooking. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that eating raw eggplant can remove oil from human intestines. Losing weight has nothing to do with eating raw eggplant.
Experts suggest that eggplant can be salted, boiled, burned, steamed and braised. Both meat and no meat are delicious, but try not to eat them raw.
Li Chunming said that there is no clear scientific basis whether eating raw eggplant can lower blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar, and even treat diabetes and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. People should not believe the legend. To reduce the "three highs" and lose weight, we mainly rely on reasonable diet, moderate exercise and continuous improvement of our physical fitness. In addition, if people want to treat "three highs", diabetes, heart disease and other diseases, they should also go to regular hospitals for treatment. They must not believe some rumors and remedies in the society, nor believe the advertisements of some drug dealers, and buy various drugs and health care products to treat themselves at home, so as not to delay their illness.
