Eating fruits has many benefits for us, such as nourishing blood and beauty, and hydrating and whitening the skin. So what fruits are suitable for eating in spring?
1. Pineapple
Pineapples contain bromelain and protease. To prevent allergic reactions, pineapples should be soaked in saltwater for more than ten minutes after cutting to destroy the protease before eating. Pineapple is a tropical fruit rich in dietary fiber and protease, which is beneficial for preventing constipation and indigestion. It is a good choice for summer fruits. As the weather gradually warms up, we will see more and more pineapple vendors. Many vendors use fiberglass to soak pineapples in saltwater, and each piece of pineapple is inserted with a chopstick. Here, I would like to remind everyone to consider how long the saltwater in the fiberglass has not been changed, and whether the chopsticks are new. This not only fails to meet hygiene standards but also causes secondary pollution.
2. Strawberry
According to traditional Chinese medicine, strawberries have the effect of reducing fire, relieving heat, and clearing heat. In spring, people's liver fire is often more vigorous, and eating some strawberries can suppress it. In addition, strawberries are best eaten after meals because they contain a large amount of pectin and fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, aid digestion, improve constipation, and prevent hemorrhoids and colon cancer. Strawberries are rich in nutrients and have a high content of anthocyanins, which have antioxidant effects. Moreover, strawberries also have a high vitamin C content, with 47 milligrams per 100 grams, higher than oranges. Strawberries have a sweet and cool taste, and they have the functions of moistening the lungs, promoting fluid production, diuresis, and reducing swelling. People with lung fire and poor urination may consider eating more strawberries. However, people with poor gastrointestinal function should not eat too many strawberries. Elderly people with poor dental health can use a blender to puree strawberries and spread the puree on slices of bread to eat.
3. Apple
Apples are very common fruits in the market. In the dry spring, you can replenish your body's moisture by eating apples. In addition, apples also contain calcium, iron, vitamins, and other beneficial substances for the body. Strawberries are on the market in spring, with bright colors and a sweet and sour taste, which can stimulate appetite. In addition, strawberries can promote digestion. Delicious strawberries are an essential fruit in spring.
4. Kiwi
Kiwi is rich in nutrients and can enhance the body's resistance. Eating kiwi can prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis in the elderly, and it can also prevent and treat heart disease, arteriosclerosis, and have a certain anti-cancer effect. In addition, eating kiwi can also delay aging. However, it is important to note that kiwis should not be eaten on an empty stomach. It is recommended to eat them 1-2 hours before or after meals.
