But because grape noodles contain a lot of sugar, many people worry that eating grapes will make them fat. So, will eating grapes lead to weight gain? The answer here is: if eaten in moderation, no.

Why did you say "no"? Let's find out.

1. Grapes are rich in nutrients needed by human body.

Grape is one of the oldest fruit tree varieties in the world, with rich varieties, including more than 700 in China alone. The shape, size and color of grapes vary from variety to variety. Common grape shapes are round, rectangular, oval, oblate and heart-shaped. The colors of the peel are purple, red, black, yellow, green and various intermediate colors.

Grape fruit is a berry, developed from ovary, including fruit stalk, fruit pedicle, fruit brush, exocarp, pulp and seeds. Next, the fruit structure of grapes.

The fresh grapes we often eat are mainly pulp. Grapes are not only delicious, but also rich in nutritional value. According to the relevant information released by China Agricultural Publishing House, grapes generally contain 70%-85% water, 13%-25% sugar, 0.5%- 1.5% acid and 0.3%-0.6% minerals.

In addition, grapes are rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. According to the determination, grape juice is rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins B 1, B2, B6, C, P and other minerals, and also contains 19 amino acids needed by human body. The following figure shows the proportion of nutrients contained in 100g grapes.

The quality of grapes is mainly related to sugar content, acid content, flavor, pulp texture and so on, and there will be slight differences between different varieties of grapes.

2. Glucose is easily absorbed, so it is not suitable for gaining weight, and there are many benefits.

Although the sugar content of grapes is high, reasonable consumption of grapes will not lead to body weight gain, which is also the result of many experiments.

First of all, most of the sugar in grapes is glucose that is easily absorbed directly by the human body. And to a certain extent, grapes also have the function of helping digestion, which can help the stomach to move better.

Moreover, grapes contain a lot of tartaric acid, which helps digestion. People with a bad stomach can eat some grapes properly, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, which is good for health.

At the same time, the vitamins contained in grapes have antioxidant function. Eating grapes regularly can effectively delay the aging of various organs in the human body and is of great benefit to relieving neurasthenia and fatigue. Fresh grapes are eaten with seeds and have beauty effects. After grapes are made into raisins, the content of sugar and iron will be higher, which is a good tonic for women, children and people with weakness and anemia.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that grapes are flat and sweet, and have a wide range of medicinal values. Ancient medical books in China also recorded the medicinal use of grapes. Herbs in southern Yunnan say: tonify qi and blood, relax tendons and activate collaterals. "Records of Famous Doctors" said: Drive away water and facilitate urination. "The Herbal Map of Southern Yunnan" says: To cure acne, the fetal qi goes up, and the decoction is drunk immediately.

Grapes are good, but they should be eaten reasonably and not in excess.

So, how can we enjoy grapes better and absorb their nutritional value reasonably?

First, we must seize the time. It is best to eat grapes between Chinese food and dinner; Avoid eating grapes before going to bed, because eating any food one hour before going to bed is not conducive to digestion and will lead to rapid weight gain.

Second, the diet should be moderate. Whatever you eat should be moderate, but eating too much will have a bad effect. The consumption of grapes should be kept at about100g per day.

In addition, remind three groups of people that grapes are not suitable for eating: diabetics, diarrhea patients, and people with spleen and stomach deficiency. Grape itself is a cold food. If people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold eat grapes again, it will easily lead to physical decline and invasion of cold syndrome. This is against the law of keeping in good health.

In short, eating grapes reasonably is not easy to get fat, but also can strengthen the spleen and stomach and relieve fatigue, which is very beneficial to the human body.
