The nutritional value of potatoes, you know? Potato contains a lot of starch and protein, B vitamins, vitamin C, etc., can promote the digestion of the spleen and stomach. All said "unreasonable", but this problem is a bit difficult to lose potatoes. In France, potatoes are called "underground apples." Potatoes also enjoy the title of "second bread" in Europe and the United States. They contain twice the vitamins of carrots, three times that of Chinese cabbage, four times that of tomatoes, and vitamin C. The highest content of vegetables, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and other mineral content is also high, especially the potassium content, can be said that ranked first in the vegetable category. Potatoes also contain a lot of high-quality cellulose, which helps prevent constipation and prevent cancer. Chinese medicine believes that potatoes have the effect of "stomach, stomach, spleen, and Qi". They often eat well for good health.
With such a good potato, correct eating is also very important. Everyone in life is accustomed to cooking potatoes and eating them hot, but there are reports that cooked potatoes need to be chilled and eaten before they are more healthy. This argument is justified.
Potatoes and other potatoes are rich in resistant starch. This starch is harder to degrade than other starches, and it is slowly digested in the body. It does not cause blood sugar to rise too fast after consumption, helping diabetics maintain normal blood sugar and reduce hunger. It also helps in the excretion of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduces blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reduces atherosclerosis, and has a certain weight loss effect. The content of resistant starch in potatoes is as high as 75%, but its content is affected by many factors. For example, only 3% of resistant starch is contained in cooked hot potatoes, but after cooling, the content of resistant starch is increased to 12%. Therefore, cooked potatoes are healthier after being chilled. But what needs to be reminded is that resistant starch is not perfect for people with poor gastrointestinal tract and poor digestion, and should eat less or not eat it.
