Chestnuts are rich in dietary fiber and can be used as an effective substitute for coarse grains in our daily balanced diet. Chestnut only needs to be eaten in a small amount every day, and it can achieve a good nourishing effect if it persists, but if it is eaten in excess at one time, it will not only affect our digestive function, but also lead to constipation symptoms.
Because normal adults keep a small amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract every day, excessive consumption of chestnut will increase the amount of gas produced by bacterial glycolysis in the intestine, thus forming flatulence in the gastrointestinal tract, which will seriously lead to constipation. Chestnuts are not easy to digest when eaten raw, but are easy to lag when cooked. It is not advisable to eat too much at one time. It is advisable to eat chestnuts around 10.

Chestnut starch content in chestnut is very high. If you eat too much, the GI will be higher (foods with high GI values are not conducive to weight loss). 100 grams of chestnut has 2 12 calories, while 100 grams of rice has only 1 12 calories. It can be seen that the calorie of chestnut is higher than that of rice.
3. Eating too many chestnuts affects blood sugar.
Chestnut belongs to nuts, but it is not as rich in oil and starch as nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds. The carbohydrate content of dried chestnut reaches 77%, which is equivalent to 75% of grain. There are 40% fresh chestnuts, 2.4 times that of potatoes. The protein content of fresh chestnut is 4% ~ 5%, which is not as high as that of peanuts and walnuts, but slightly higher than that of cooked rice. Chestnuts have a high sugar content. Therefore, when eating chestnut tonic, you should avoid eating too much, especially for diabetics, so as not to affect the stability of blood sugar.
