Black sesame is a commonly used nourishing food in daily life, containing various beneficial nutrients for health. Regular consumption not only helps to supplement calcium and promote health, but also controls blood pressure and enhances beauty. However, there are still some people who are not suitable for consuming black sesame.
【Benefits of consuming black sesame】
The calcium content in black sesame is much higher than that in milk or eggs. Every 100 grams of black sesame contains nearly 800 milligrams of calcium, while the calcium content in 100 grams of milk is only about 200 milligrams. Therefore, black sesame is the best choice for calcium supplementation.
Black sesame is rich in potassium, with a high potassium content and much less sodium. The ratio of potassium to sodium is close to 40:1, which is important for controlling blood pressure and maintaining heart health.
Research has found that the water extract of black sesame can promote the expression of tyrosinase, thereby increasing the synthesis of melanin, which can help restore black hair color.
Black sesame is rich in natural vitamin E, ranking first among plant-based foods. Vitamin E is a good antioxidant, and proper supplementation can have a moisturizing and beautifying effect on the skin.
【Suitable group for black sesame consumption】
Black sesame is not only delicious, but also has high nutritional value. Generally, it is suitable for most people to consume black sesame in moderation, as it can promote overall health.
In addition, black sesame is suitable for people with dizziness, blurred vision, weakness in the waist and legs, tinnitus, deafness, hair dryness, hair loss, and premature graying caused by liver and kidney deficiency.
Furthermore, individuals with weak constitution, anemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, elderly asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, urticaria, and habitual constipation can also consume black sesame regularly in their daily lives.
【Contradictions for black sesame consumption】
Patients with chronic enteritis: Black sesame has a high oil content and can promote bowel movement. Consumption of black sesame can easily cause diarrhea in patients with chronic enteritis.
Individuals with loose stools or diarrhea: Black sesame contains a large amount of fatty oil, which has a lubricating effect on the intestines. Consumption of black sesame by people with loose stools or diarrhea may worsen the symptoms.
Eating sesame is good for hair, but excessive consumption can accelerate hair loss. Eating too much black sesame can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to oily scalp, withered and falling hair.
Therefore, the recommended daily consumption of black sesame should be half a teaspoon, not exceeding one teaspoon. In addition, people with poor appetite and loose stools should not consume excessive amounts of black sesame.
