In summer, a piece of chilled watermelon is beautiful, but the nutrition of chilled watermelon is reduced.

It's really a pleasure to eat a few mouthfuls of ice watermelons on a hot summer day. Ice watermelon, as a sharp weapon to relieve summer heat, is loved by many melon friends, but ice watermelon is too cold, which is quite irritating to the intestines and stomach. Many melon friends will have diarrhea after eating watermelon. So is eating ice watermelon really harmful to our health? Developing agriculture through science will introduce it to you.

Downside one: diarrhea

With regard to ice watermelon diarrhea, this is not absolute, but also for individual people. It should be said that only some people have diarrhea when eating ice watermelons. For the so-called some people, most of them belong to bad intestines and stomach, and chilled watermelons are too cold. Although it makes people cool immediately after eating, it also stimulates our forehead, intestines and stomach, so for people with bad intestines and stomach, we should pay attention to eating frozen watermelons.

Disadvantage 2: nutrition discount

It is reported that lycopene and β-carotene in watermelon will be greatly lost after being chilled, both of which are antioxidant components and can have an anti-cancer effect. And after cold storage, watermelons will be more prone to decay and deterioration. For example, watermelons can be stored at room temperature for two or three weeks, but if stored in a 4-degree refrigerator, they will basically go bad for a week. When you take it out of the refrigerator, the watermelon looks good, but it actually tastes a little bad.

Harm 3: easy to become sour and corrupt

There are many anaerobes in the refrigerator environment. During freezing, the anaerobic respiration of anaerobes will also cause the nutrients in watermelons as substrates to be fermented by anaerobes, producing a large amount of organic acids, which will lead to watermelon spoilage and nutrition loss.

To sum up, although chilled watermelons can instantly add a bit of coolness to hot summer, do not eat chilled watermelons too casually, and even if they are chilled for too long, not only for nutrition and taste of watermelons, but also for our bodies.

Here is science to promote agriculture, welcome to add attention, with you to grow knowledge.
