1. Watermelon seeds can strengthen the stomach, benefit the lungs and moisten the intestines;

2. Sunflower seeds are rich in fatty acids and vitamin E;

3. Pumpkin seeds have insect repellent effect. Proper biting of melon seeds can stimulate the taste nerve on the tongue, promote the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, facilitate digestion, be beneficial to health, and promote the movement of facial muscles.

However, because melon seeds contain a certain amount of sugar, diabetics should eat as little as possible. If you eat 500 grams of melon seeds every day, it will definitely have an impact on blood sugar, which is not conducive to controlling blood sugar in diabetics.

In addition, melon seeds not only contain rich protein, but also contain oil. Eating them in large quantities not only greatly increases calories, but also raises blood lipids. Part of blood lipids can be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis, which can raise blood sugar.

In addition, when eating melon seeds, saliva will be lost because it adheres to the melon seed shell and is spit out. Excessive loss of saliva will lead to oral ulcers, gingivitis, dental caries, indigestion and other diseases, but also dull taste and loss of appetite.

Saliva helps to remove food residues in the mouth, reduce the chances of bacterial reproduction and fermentation, and protect the oral mucosa. Once diabetic patients have oral ulcers, it is difficult to recover. Therefore, when eating sunflower seeds, it is best to peel the shells by hand, and remember not to eat too much at one time.
