Nuts, which have long been highly prized as a healthy food in our daily diet, are rich in healthy fats,Proteins, vitamins and minerals, theoretically speaking, eating them in moderation are good for the body, but if you eat them in the wrong way, nuts can also put a lot of burden on the stomach.
I have worked in the hospital for many years and have been in contact with patients with a wide variety of gastrointestinal diseases, some of whom have developed significant gastrointestinal problems due to frequent consumption of nuts.
These problems are not because of how "bad" the nuts themselves are,It's because they ignore how nuts are eaten, where they're stored, and how well they're physically fit.
Many people indulge themselves when eating nuts and eat large sums of them, which leads to digestive discomfort and even aggravates pre-existing gastrointestinal diseases.
Speaking of which, many people may ask, thatI amIsn't it time to stop eating nuts?The answer is not to stop completely, but to choose the types of nuts scientifically and reasonably, control the amount of nuts eaten, and pay special attention to the way nuts are eaten.
The health value of nuts is closely related to how you eat them, and if you don't pay attention to these small details, it may cause a burden on the stomach and intestines, and even induce some health problems.
Next, I will start with a few common nut misconceptions,Let's popularize how to avoid these problems, so that you can enjoy the delicious taste of nuts while protecting your stomach.
The fried nuts have a crispy taste, and the aroma on the outside really makes people can't stop, but this seemingly harmless snack is actually an invisible killer of the stomach.
I have a patient from a foreign trade company who has a lot of work pressure and often brings himself a bag of roasted nuts at lunch.I think this can relax a little in the busyness and supplement some nutrients by the way.
However, when she came to me, she kept complaining of stomach pain, especially after eating these fried burnt nuts, the pain was more pronounced, she said that she often had bloating, heartburn and discomfort after lunch, and her appetite gradually deteriorated, and she had no appetite for anything.
I asked her to bring these burnt nuts over and take a closer look.They were found to have a slightly blackened surface, and some were even paste.
I told her that the burnt nuts are very unfriendly to the stomach, especially for people with sensitive stomachs, and after high temperature roasting, the oil inside the nuts is oxidized and decomposed, producing a large number of harmful substances.
In particular, the coking part, the acrylamide and other substances produced will irritate the stomach and intestines.Long-term consumption will not only increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, but also may cause inflammation and damage to the gastric mucosa.
She said she had never known that fried nuts would have such an impact, and that she had eaten them for so many years before she found that her stomach began to feel upset.
There is a key issue that is often overlooked:Stir-fried nuts not only change their original nutrients, but may also produce harmful substances.Especially for those who have stomach problems or indigestion, the irritation of this food is very obvious.
Not only does a moldy nut affect the taste, but the most serious thing is that it produces a harmful substance called yellow yeast mycotoxin, which is very harmful to the gastrointestinal tract.
I have a patient who often works overtime late at night, and in order to satisfy her hunger, she often eats some nuts.However, she didn't have too muchAttentionThe storage conditions of nuts, I bought a large bag of nuts casually, and I didn't touch them for several months as soon as I put them away.
Once, she suddenly felt an upset stomach with severe abdominal pain and nausea, she thought it was gastroenteritis, but she went to the hospital for a check-up and found that it was a poisoning reaction caused by eating moldy nuts.
Xantoxin is a carcinogen,In particular, it is extremely irritating to the stomach and intestines, and long-term consumption of this nut containing moldy ingredients will cause harm to the digestive system.It can even cause chronic poisoning, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction and affecting the normal absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract.
The harm of moldy nuts is often not immediately apparent, but after a long period of accumulation, it will show symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, so we must pay special attention to the preservation of nuts and avoid long-term storage in a humid environment.
Nuts themselves are rich in oil, and there is not much natural salt, but many nut snacks on the market in order to increase the taste,A large amount of salt is usually added.
Although this kind of high-salt nut makes people can't stop eating it, it is actually extremely irritating to the stomach, especially for those who already have gastrointestinal problems, eating too much will cause all kinds of discomfort.
I have a patient who works as a project manager for a construction company.I am very busy every day, and I often eat nuts while working to relieve stress.
The problem is that he is particularly fond of ultra-salty nuts, eating a small packet at almost every meal, regardless of how much salt is in them.
At first, he felt that after eating, his appetite was greater, and he felt more energetic to eat.However, as time passed, he began to experience symptoms such as stomach pain, dry mouth, and loss of appetite, and it was found that his stomach lining had obvious inflammation and irritation.
This patient's experience made me realize once again that the damage of high-salt nuts to the gastrointestinal tract is not only temporary, it will affect the secretion of gastric juice, lead to excessive gastric acid, and then irritate the gastric mucosa, which is easy to cause gastritis, gastric ulcer and other problems in the long run.
Excessive salt intake will also increase the burden on the kidneys.It increases the risk of edema in the body, so when eating nuts, try to avoid products that have been seasoned with heavy flavors.Nuts that are plain or less salt will be healthier.
Nowadays, there are many nuts on the market that are no longer simply plain, and there are a variety of nuts in various flavors, some are sweet, some are salty, and some have been processed with various seasonings.
It looks very attractive, but these processed nuts actually hide a lot of additives.In particular, some preservatives, flavors, and artificial colors can be far more harmful to the stomach and intestines than you think.
I have a patient who often buys some seasoned nuts at the mall and can't stop eating them, but recently she started to have bloating, abdominal pain, and even nausea from time to time.
I went to the hospital for an examination and found out,It turned out that she had consumed too many nut products with high additive content, which caused her stomach to be unable to fully digest these artificial ingredients.This in turn triggers gastrointestinal upset.
These non-original nuts contain a lot of artificial ingredients, and it is difficult for the stomach and intestines to digest them effectively, especially some preservatives and spice ingredients, which will not only affect digestion, but also may disrupt the balance of intestinal flora, which in turn affects the normal function of the stomach and intestines.
Nuts are not a one-size-fits-all health food, and although they are packed with nutrients, if you don't pay attention to how you eat them,On the contrary, it can put a great burden on the stomach and intestines.
Stir-fried, mildewed, high salt and unflavored nuts, these four common ways of eating, will cause varying degrees of damage to the stomach and intestines.
So, when choosing and eating nuts,Everyone must stay vigilant and develop healthy eating habits in order to truly enjoy the benefits of nuts.It will not harm your health because of improper consumption.
