9 must-know problems of eating watermelon healthily

Watermelon is the favorite fruit of most people in the summer, and many people enjoy

Question 1: When the watermelon is stabbed first, does the bacteria enter?

Yes

We can't eat whole watermelons, they have to be cut to eat

Watermelon tissue and watermelon juice contain nutrients, sufficient moisture, suitable for rapid proliferation

Of course, the same goes for

Q2: How long can watermelons be left at room temperature?

Most watermelons are relatively large in size, and a person is unlikely to eat them

Watermelon is a substrate suitable for rapid microbial proliferation, large moisture, low acidity, osmotic pressure is relatively small, in the summer room temperature, it can only be placed within

If you buy a piece of melon that you don't know when to cut it, then it is best to buy it and eat it as soon as possible, so don't store it

If someone buys melon with you, you can discuss with him, two people buy a melon together, ask the salesman to cut it at that time, and take half

Q3: Can I eat watermelon overnight after cutting?

Overnight watermelon can certainly be eaten, but only if it is cut open and refrigerated

In the refrigerator, there is no change of day and night, the so-called "overnight" means that it has been left for more than 10 hours, and the microorganisms have enough time to proliferate

After cutting the watermelon, leave the piece that is about to be eaten outside, try not to chop the other parts, the more complete the better, and then cover it with clean plastic wrap as soon as possible and refrigerate

The lid plastic wrap itself does not inhibit the proliferation of bacteria, but only to prevent other foods in the refrigerator from cross-contaminating the watermelon with microorganisms on the refrigerator wall, and also to prevent various foods in the refrigerator from skewering on the

Please remember to separate raw and cooked in the refrigerator, watermelon, this direct intake of food, must be placed in the upper layer of the refrigerator as much as possible, do not mix with raw fish, raw meat and vegetables

Those melons that do not know when to cut, it is best not to store them

Q4: Can proprietary boards and knives effectively hinder bacteria?

Probably many friends have eaten garlic-flavored watermelon and onion-flavored watermelon when they were young, because the knife that cuts watermelon has not been washed.

It is no longer a time of poverty, and the family will not go bankrupt by buying two more knives and two more cutting boards
.
Daily must develop the good habit
of separate operation of raw and cooked, raw and cooked separate storage.
Cut the raw fish and raw meat with the first cutting board, and be sure to wash and disinfect
it after cutting.
Cut the raw vegetables to be sautéed in the pan with a second cutting board
.
Cut raw vegetables and fruits, using a third cutting board
.

Although the use of exclusive cutting boards and kitchen knives for cutting fruits cannot prevent the proliferation of bacteria, it can effectively prevent the contamination of watermelons with pathogenic bacteria in other raw foods, and can also avoid the problem of skewering
.

Q5: Is watermelon a low-sugar or high-sugar fruit?

Legend has it that watermelon is a low-sugar fruit with a sugar content of only 6% to 7%, but this is based on the results of measurements 20 or 30 years ago, which is no longer suitable for the current market conditions
.
Due to the screening of the market and the efforts of agricultural experts, the sugar content of watermelon is getting higher and higher, and it has reached the level of
8% to 13%.

Of course, this trend of increasing sugar content is not limited to watermelon, but also other fruits
.
The grapes are getting sweeter, the apples are getting sweeter, the oranges are getting sweeter, the lychees are getting sweeter.
.
.
Therefore, compared with other fruits, watermelon is not a fruit
with high sugar content.

However, the problem with watermelon is that it is the easiest fruit
to eat.
If you count at 10% sugar, 1000 grams of watermelon meat provides 100 grams of sugar
.
Moreover, watermelon has a lower
feeling of fullness.
Eating watermelon does not prevent eating three meals
.
If you eat an extra 100 grams of sugar in addition to three meals, it is difficult not to promote fattening
.

Therefore, people who lose weight are best to eat only 200 to 350 grams of watermelon meat per day, and do not exceed 1 kilogram
at most.
In this way, it is included in the share of the fruit of the day, and does not bring the problem of excessive calories
in the day.

Question 6: If you replace your staple food with watermelon, will you not gain weight?

Due to the low protein content in watermelon, if you use a large number of watermelons to replace the staple food of the meal, it is okay
once in a while.
Often, it will cause muscle loss, malnutrition, decreased metabolic rate, and in the long run, the body fat rate may rise, but it is easy to gain weight
.
At the same time, there will also be problems such as body weakness, loss of appetite, fatigue and laziness, which is not conducive to body lines and reduces the quality of
life.

Because watermelon contains a lot of potassium and low sodium content, short-term watermelon meal replacement can promote the body's water discharge, and often this may cause sodium
deficiency.
Sweating a lot in the summer, sodium deficiency can also cause physical weakness, dizziness and other discomfort
.

In general, people who eat more fish and meat and have strong muscle strength have strong resistance to watermelon to replace a meal, while people with less daily protein intake, soft muscles, and poor physical strength are not suitable for replacing staple foods with watermelon, and they cannot often replace a meal
.

Q7: Can people with diabetes eat watermelon?

Diabetics can eat watermelon, but should eat it in small amounts
.
Watermelon has a glycemic index (GI) of 72, which is the highest gig of the fruit (and it is comparable to lychee, and the G I value is also 72).

This may be because watermelon is easy to juice, and after the sugar is squeezed out of the cell structure, it is easily absorbed and utilized
.
Unlike fruits such as apples, sugars are found in the cellular structure and are slowly released through chewing
.

Diabetics can consider eating a small amount of fruit between meals or before meals, such as eating about 100 grams of watermelon at a time, and eating it twice in the share of 200 grams of
fruit intake.

Q8: Can people with gout eat watermelon?

People with gout can eat watermelon
.
Potassium and vitamin C are both good for the condition
.
Potassium abundance facilitates uric acid excretion
.
However, considering that watermelon contains fructose, and too much fructose will increase endogenous uric acid production, it is not suitable for eating
watermelon as a meal.
Eating a pound and a half of watermelon a day does not bring too much fructose
.

Question 9: Does eating an iced watermelon hurt my body?

The first thing to see if the frozen watermelon contains too many microorganisms or is contaminated
with pathogenic microorganisms.
Second, it depends on whether the person who eats watermelon is healthy
.

Young, healthy, gastrointestinal function of people, eating iced watermelon will not cause serious problems
.
However, people who are prone to diarrhea, people with indigestion and malabsorption, and patients with irritable bowel syndrome are not recommended to eat cold watermelon to avoid cold stimulation caused by excessive intestinal movement and diarrhea, and even cramp abdominal pain
.
Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and gallbladder diseases are also not suitable for eating a large amount of ice watermelon
.

Speaking of which, whether to eat watermelon, how much watermelon to eat, how to store watermelon, is there a number in mind.
