Three taboos for eating watermelon:
1, you can't eat watermelon as a meal.
Watermelon is more than 94% water and has a high sugar content, so watermelon has a high calorie. The calorie of watermelon is 250 kcal/kg, while the calorie of a bowl of rice in an ordinary family is about 200 kcal. Eating a watermelon is equivalent to eating five or six bowls of rice. If you eat watermelon in the amount of 1 apple, it is not easy to produce obvious fattening effect, so it is forbidden to eat too much watermelon.
2, you can't eat watermelon as a midnight snack.
Watermelon is rich in sugar. If you eat too much before going to bed at night, it will increase insulin and promote fat synthesis. Most of the newly synthesized fat in human body is stored in abdomen. In addition, the amount of exercise at night is reduced, and the fat is only stored and not consumed. After a long time, the belly will grow out.
Don't overeat watermelon because you don't feel full.
The sweetness of watermelon mainly comes from fructose. The lower the temperature, the greater the sweetness of fructose. It is found that fructose does not significantly increase blood sugar, but it also bypasses the mechanism of appetite control. Because watermelon contains a lot of fructose, it also has the characteristic of not feeling full. Therefore, it is difficult for people to control their food intake when eating watermelon, so it must be remembered that watermelon can make you gain weight.
Supplement: Yellow flesh watermelon is called New Jin Lan, which is a rare watermelon variety introduced from Taiwan Province Province. Wax gourd is small, only 3 kg at most, with high and uniform sugar content, which melts at the entrance.
