Golden autumn in October, autumn is high and cool. In the fields of Zhangjia Village, a golden peanut field is ushering in the harvest season. Farmers are busy harvesting plump pods of peanut and the air is filled with the aroma of earth and peanuts. Uncle Li at the head of the village carried two baskets of freshly harvested peanuts and walked towards the village commissary with a smile.
"Lao Li, this year's peanut harvest is bumper again!" Aunt Wang, the owner of the commissary, greeted warmly, "Hurry up and give me a few catties to try it." "
"Okay, Aunt Wang. This year, the weather is good, and the flowers are growing very full, you can taste it. Uncle Li took out a handful of peanuts from the basket and handed it to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang took the peanut, broke one and stuffed it into her mouth, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's really good, fragrant and crispy." With such a good peanuts, you have to buy some and stock them up, and you can usually use them as snacks for children. "
At this moment, Dr. Zhao, who was waiting to buy something, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but interject: "Aunt Wang, although peanuts are good, not everyone is suitable for eating more." Especially children, pay more attention. "
Aunt Wang was a little puzzled: "Doctor Zhao, what do you say?" Aren't peanuts quite nutritious?"
Dr. Zhao nodded: "Peanuts are indeed highly nutritious, but some people are better to eat less. In particular, these three groups of people: people with allergies, people with digestive diseases, and obese people. "
Aunt Wang and Uncle Li both showed surprised expressions. Seeing this, Dr. Zhao continued to explain: "Our hospital has recently received several cases of adverse reactions caused by large amounts of peanuts. For example, there is a girl named Xiaofang, because she ate too many peanuts, which caused her allergy symptoms to worse..."
Dr. Zhao's words aroused the interest of those present. Everyone approached and wanted to hear the story of this Xiaofang. Seeing this, Dr. Zhao began to tell the story.
It turned out that Xiaofang was a 12-year-old girl who usually had a slight peanut allergy. But because I like to eat peanuts, my family also thinks that peanuts are nutritious, so I don't care too much. Recently, peanuts have been on the market in large quantities and the price is cheap, and Xiaofang's mother bought a lot of peanuts to go home. Xiaofang was so happy that she ate peanuts for several days.
Who knows, on the night of the third day, Xiaofang suddenly had a severe allergic reaction: a rash all over her body, swollen lips, and difficulty breathing. Her family rushed her to the hospital for emergency treatment. After emergency treatment by the doctor, Xiaofang's symptoms were alleviated.
"This case tells us that for people with allergies, eating large amounts of food, even if it is usually eaten in small amounts, can trigger a severe allergic reaction." "Peanuts, in particular, are one of the most common allergens. "
Hearing this, Aunt Wang thoughtfully: "I remember that my granddaughter seems to be a little allergic to peanuts, and she will have to pay attention to it in the future."
Dr. Zhao nodded: "That's right, for people who are known to have peanut allergies, it is best to avoid eating peanuts and their products completely. Even mild allergies should be treated with extreme caution, as allergic reactions may worsen with repeated exposure. "
Uncle Li interjected: "Doctor Zhao, you just said that there are two types of people who should eat less peanuts, can you tell me more about it?"
Dr. Zhao continued, "The second category is patients with digestive diseases, especially gastrointestinal diseases. Although peanuts are highly nutritious, they are also a difficult food to digest. "
For example, he said: "Some time ago, our department admitted a patient with a stomach ulcer, surnamed Chen. Mr. Chan usually suffers from stomach pain, but he never takes it seriously. Recently, when peanuts were on the market, he had to eat a handful of peanuts every day. As a result, within a few days, the stomach pain worsened, and the symptoms of hematemesis appeared. "
"After examination, it was found that Mr. Chen's stomach ulcer had enlarged and there were signs of bleeding. It turns out that peanuts contain a lot of protein and fat, which can stimulate gastric acid secretion and increase the burden on the stomach. For patients with stomach ulcers, this is undoubtedly worse. "
Hearing this, everyone showed a look of sudden realization. Aunt Wang said: "I remember, my wife has a stomach problem, and it seems that I have to remind him to eat less peanuts in the future."
Dr. Zhao nodded in agreement: "Yes, people with digestive diseases such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, and enteritis are better to eat less or no peanuts. If you really want to eat it, do it in moderation, and it's best to choose cooked peanuts and avoid eating them raw or fried. "
"And who is the third group?" Uncle Li asked curiously.
"The third group is obese people." Dr. Zhao replied, "Although peanuts are high in nutritional value, they are not low in calories. 100 grams of peanut kernels have about 600 kcal, which is equivalent to the calories of two bowls of rice. "
He continued: "I have a patient named Ms. Zhang, who is mildly obese. Recently, peanuts have been on the market, and she thinks peanuts are healthier than snacks, so she eats peanuts as snacks every day. As a result, after a month, the weight gained another 3 kilograms. "
Actually, Ms. Zhang's idea is not wrong. Peanuts are indeed healthier than many snacks and are rich in nutrients such as protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, etc. But the problem is that she ignores the high-calorie characteristics of peanuts and does not control the amount of consumption. "
After listening to this, Aunt Wang smiled embarrassedly: "Hearing what Dr. Zhao said, I think I may also belong to the people who need to eat less peanuts." With my figure, it's really time to lose weight. "
Dr. Zhao said gently: "For obese people, it is not that they cannot eat peanuts at all, but that the amount of food must be strictly controlled. Consuming about 10-15 capsules a day is enough to meet the body's needs for certain nutrients without consuming too many calories. "
After listening to Dr. Zhao's explanation, everyone was thoughtful. Uncle Li sighed: "I can't imagine that there are so many little peanuts. It seems that when you buy peanuts in the future, you have to decide how much to buy according to the situation of your family. "
Aunt Wang also nodded: "Yes, I'll go and give some of the peanuts I bought just now to the neighbors." If you keep it yourself, you have to keep it well and eat it in moderation. "
Seeing that everyone understood the precautions for eating peanuts, Dr. Zhao smiled with relief: "Actually, not only peanuts, but many foods are like this, and there are pros and cons. The key is to understand your physical condition and mix your diet reasonably. "
He added: "For healthy people, it is still very beneficial to eat peanuts in moderation. Peanuts are rich in protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, minerals and other nutrients, which can replenish energy, help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and can also be used for beauty. "
"However," Dr. Zhao emphasises, "even healthy people should not consume more than 50 grams of peanuts per day." And it's best to choose plain peanuts and avoid eating too many processed or flavored peanut products. "
After listening to Dr. Zhao's explanation, everyone felt that they had gained a lot. Uncle Li sighed with emotion: "It's still Dr. Zhao who has insight." In the future, when I sell peanuts, I have to remind buyers to pay attention to these matters. "
Aunt Wang also said: "Yes, I will tell my family about this knowledge when I go back, and also tell the customers who come to the store to buy peanuts." So that everyone can eat healthy and eat with peace of mind. "
Dr. Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "I'm glad that everyone can pay attention to this issue." In fact, understanding the characteristics of food and one's own health status, and rationally matching the diet, is not just about peanuts, but a healthy lifestyle. "
