Zhang, 50, is going through menopause. She suffers from fatigue, insomnia and irritability. She often fights with her husband over family chores, and later suffers from severe hair loss, which makes her even more upset.

Ms zhang is a love beautiful women, although already 50 years old, but has always had also can maintain, but recent by hair loss, in order to prevent hair loss, not only to eat a bunch of health care products, also every day to eat sesame seed, walnut, but with little success, then use the recommended remedies in succession is futile, but under the went to the hospital, after a check, Zhang was eventually diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia.

To this, Ms. Zhang is very confused, not all say to form complement form? Can black sesame treat hair loss? Oneself but often eat, why return hair loss so serious?

Through the doctor carefully explain JUST UNDERSTAND, THE LINOLENIC acid IN SESAME DOES HAVE BENEFIT TO THE HAIR, BUT EAT wrong, eat too much CAN LET ONESELF BAD hair to add insult TO injury only, add oil on oil, adverse hair growth instead, STILL BE IN the doctor's treatment the situation just gets BETTER finally.

There is a popular saying in the folk "a bunch of tonics is not as good as sesame", it can be seen that the health efficacy of sesame is very highly respected, such as sesame can prevent hair loss, black sesame can black hair, sesame can drop three high, sesame can supplement calcium, sesame can cancer, and so on, that these rumors are true or false? Is it really that amazing?

What do you know about the Sesame rumors?

There are a lot of rumors about sesame, both true and false, but let's talk about the rumors that are not true.

1. Sesame can grow hair and prevent hair loss

The most popular thing about the efficacy of sesame is that it can produce black hair and grow black hair. Such advertisements can be found everywhere in our life, such as black sesame shampoo and black hair pill, which attract people like to fly in the sky. But in fact, no authoritative research has shown that sesame can produce hair, prevent hair loss and grow black hair.

Hair loss caused by many factors, such as staying up late, pressure is too large, excessive sebum secretion, and so on, but a lot of people is a lot of androgen alopecia, namely male hormones excessive sebum secretion exuberant cause hair loss, and the composition is oil in sesame seeds, eat a lot of sesame seeds is in drink oil, increase sebum secretion, make the hair on the oil gas, hair loss is more serious.

And even if other factors cause hair loss, relying on a single food source can not achieve the goal of hair growth, prevent shedding. Therefore, it is not reliable to rely on eating sesame seeds to grow hair and prevent shedding, otherwise there will not be so many people in life suffering from hair loss, eat sesame seeds directly.

2, black sesame can black hair?

"Eating black sesame seeds can make you black" is the most popular and well-known saying. This is because many people believe that the melanin in black sesame seeds can "complement the form" and play the role of black hair. I have reservations about this. Above ALL THIS MELANIN IS NOT THAT MELANIN, BLACK sesame PRESENTS BLACK BECAUSE OF THE anthocyanin contained among them, AND the hair of the human body itself is white, the black presented is a kind OF melanin synthesized by human body cells, had been born before, BOTH have essential difference, do not exist at all "to form complement form" said.

In terms of the mechanism, hair is black because the body produces melanin itself and delivers it to the hair follicles. If affected by certain factors, such as age, environment, disease, etc., melanin production and delivery function is limited, will lead to gray hair generation.

Will TELL SO, EVEN IF BLACK SESAME HAS A LOT OF MELANIN REALLY, THE LIKELIHOOD ALSO CANNOT BE USED TRULY BY THE BODY, HAVE THE EFFECT OF BLACK HAIR.

3, black sesame can drop three high?

Net spread "black sesame can drop three high", I want to say this effect is negligible.

Studies have shown that the black sesame seed contains polyphenols ingredient, the composition of delay stable blood sugar levels to rise and blood lipids have a positive effect, that I'm here to speak is a "positive role", that is to say the "polyphenols ingredient for three highs" is just a bit of a supplementary role, didn't really down three high effect, can't hold a candle to drugs.

Say AGAIN, NOT ONLY THERE IS THIS KIND OF COMPONENT IN BLACK SESAME, ALSO HAVE IN A LOT OF BLACK FOOD, BESIDES COMPARE, BLACK SESAME HEAT IS TALLER, EAT IN LARGE QUANTITIES VERY EASILY BRING ABOUT GET FAT, ADVERSE INSTEAD 3 HIGH STABILITY.

So there are rumors about the efficacy of these sesame seeds, but what else? Sesame in the end is health or harm? Let's go through them.

Sesame in the end is health or harm?

This problem is mentioned in the poem titled Zhu Lianshi Shanfang by Wang Changling, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty: "Go with guests, and one meal may last several spring." It means that making wine with hundred flowers can serve guests, and eating sesame seeds can prolong life, which shows that sesame is of great benefit to human body.

First of all, sesame can be used for both food and medicine. It not only tastes sweet, but also has certain medicinal value. As early as in "Baccao Jing Shu", it is recorded that "flax is the best grain for benefiting the spleen and stomach and nourishing the liver and kidney." That is to say, sesame medicine can nourish liver and kidney, enrich blood, and have a good effect on preventing liver and kidney insufficiency and deficiency of blood.

In terms of nutrition, sesame is rich in vitamin E, which has good antioxidant activity. It can prevent the damage of lipid peroxide to the skin, neutralize the accumulation of harmful substances in white blood cells, play a positive role in nourishing the skin, and prevent the occurrence of skin inflammation.

Moreover, rich calcium is still contained in sesame, data shows that 780mg calcium is contained in every 100g black sesame, 7-8 times the amount of calcium in milk, so, to the crowd that needs to fill calcium, eat black sesame is a good choice.

In addition, sesame is rich in protein, potassium, iron, magnesium and other trace elements, which are necessary for the human body. For example, protein can enhance the body's immunity, potassium can help stabilize blood pressure, iron can prevent anemia, and so on. It has a good health effect on the body.

There is, sesame contains rich cellulose and oil, can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, to prevent constipation also has a good effect.

It is worth mentioning that sesame is best fried to eat, can better release its nutritional elements, so that the human body better absorb, but sesame contains a high amount of fat, eat must be appropriate, avoid too much, otherwise it is not good for health.

Since sesame has such high nutritional value, can anyone eat it? What's the matter?

Eat sesame to have why taboo, what should notice?

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the same origin of medicine and food, and many foods are both used, which means that food has two sides and can nourish the body, but improper consumption is harmful to the body. In addition to paying attention to a "degree", there are also the attributes of the food itself, like sesame, four groups of people should be careful to eat.

(1) People with fire in their bodies

Everyday we eat sesame are fried to eat, used for seasoning. The sesame seed itself will become hot and dry after frying. At this time, if people with "fire" in the body eat it, it is tantamount to pouring oil on the fire, which is easy to cause empty fire and exuberant, causing physical discomfort.

(2) People with gastrointestinal discomfort and easy diarrhea

As we mentioned earlier, sesame seeds are rich in oil, which moistens the intestines and loosens the bowels. If the human body has gastrointestinal discomfort, easy to diarrhea people intake sesame too much, it is easy to lead to aggravated diarrhea or cause chronic enteritis.

(3) People taking special drugs

There are many contraindications in daily medication. For example, vitamin E in sesame seeds should not be taken with aspirin, which may increase the risk of bleeding. For example, patients with gastrointestinal ulcers should pay attention. Tyramine in sesame interacts with monoamine oxidase inhibitors and some antibiotics, which may induce side effects. Therefore, it is best to stagger the time to take sesame in the daily use of such drugs.

(4) People with breast diseases

In the life of people suffering from breast hyperplasia and breast cysts, the cause of the disease is mainly caused by excessive estrogen secretion, and the vitamin E rich in sesame can promote estrogen secretion, so patients with breast diseases had better eat sesame.

There are black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds in daily life. There are different opinions about the nutritional value of the two, so let's take a look at it now.

Black sesame and white sesame which more nutrition, why to distinguish?

Li Shizhen once said, "The white will win when the flax takes oil, and the black will be good when the flax takes food." It means that white sesame oil is better, and black sesame health preservation effect is better. Whether this is the case or not, we will analyze it one by one.

In nutrients, black sesame and white sesame is not much difference, contain protein, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin E, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, lecithin, linoleic acid and other substances, but in the black sesame to higher content of protein, calcium, vitamin E, from this perspective, the effect of preserve one's health of black sesame indeed is much higher.

In terms of taste, white sesame is better in taste, because the oil content of white sesame is higher than that of black sesame, and its oxidation stability is better, so it tastes more delicious.

In terms of use, black sesame has the effect of nourishing liver and kidney. In addition to daily consumption, it can also be used as medicine. White sesame has high oil content and better taste, and is mostly used to make food or extract oil.

In general, there is little difference in nutritional value between the two, mainly due to the difference in their use. In comparison, black sesame has better health preservation effect, while white sesame has higher oil yield, which can be selected according to their own needs in daily life.

Conclusion:

As food itself has its own unique nutritional value, is an important source of nutrition for the human body, but food and medicine can not be in the same place, we must not over-amplify the effect of food, to treat rationally, otherwise it will cause excessive diet, but adverse to health.
