Mango is a very popular fruit, and when people eat mango, they usually peel the mango skin before eating it. Little do people know that mango peel is also a treasure and can be eaten. Eating mango peel or drinking water soaked with mango peel has good health benefits for the human body, such as lowering blood lipids and promoting diuresis. Below, we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about mango peel in detail. 1. Drinking mango peel soaked in water can lower blood lipids Many people throw away the skin after eating mangoes, which is actually a pity. Modern pharmacological research shows that mango peel contains a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, which can regulate fat production and lipid decomposition in the human body, enhance lipase activity, thereby lowering cholesterol and reducing lipid accumulation in the body. In addition to lowering blood lipids, it can also improve body functions and enhance the body's disease resistance. Specific method: Cut the mango peel into soybean-sized pieces, brew with boiling water for 20 minutes, and take 1 cup half an hour after lunch every day for 2 weeks. 2. Can mango peel be eaten? The skins of many fruits are edible. For example, apple peels contain a lot of nutrients. Grapes contain much more nutrients than apple peels. Now more and more people are beginning to like eating mangoes, which raises the question of whether mango peel can be eaten. The main components of mango peel are pectin, protein, amino acids and other substances that are irritating to the human body. These substances are not harmful to human health, but you should know that mango peel tastes not only sour, but also particularly astringent. Almost no one likes to eat mango peel. 3. What are the effects and functions of mango peel All parts of mango have good health benefits, which means mango is a treasure from head to toe. Mango peel has a good diuretic effect, but it also has a high cholesterol level, so patients with eczema or tumors should eat less mangoes. If you eat the mango peel, it has a good effect of moisturizing the throat and relieving cough. However, mangoes are better dried or made into soup for consumption. If you eat them raw, the taste will not be particularly good. However, although mangoes taste good, don't eat too much at one time. Excessive consumption of any kind of food will not be good for the body. |
