Just as fried chicken and beer became the best match for beer in the Korean drama “My Love from the Star”, the same peanut is also the “golden partner of drinking” “, but this pairing is not a recent rise, it has been adopted by people for a long time, and maybe they have appeared in the long history of wine culture. #Xiafang Health Guide#
There is a folk saying that using peanuts with wine can measure the amount of alcohol of the other party , When the other party’s hand is unstable when adding peanuts or starts to grab the peanuts directly, it means that the other party is getting drunk.
01
Why do you like to eat peanuts when you drink?
Peanut rice with liquor seems to be the standard for Chinese people, but it is not only our country , European and American countries also like to drink with nuts. There are several reasons why drinking alcohol should be paired with nuts:
First of all, peanuts and other nuts, Peanuts, etc., the taste of nuts is neutral. Using it as a side dish will not affect the taste of wine. In addition, nuts will be added with salt and other condiments during the high-temperature baking process.
Especially salty nuts, such as peanuts without salt and pepper, taste more salty and fragrant, and if you eat too much, your mouth will be dry. At this time, you need to drink more alcohol to relieve.
Nuts are rich in nutrients, like peanuts, which are rich in protein, accounting for 24% of the total nutrients~ In addition, it also contains essential amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, iron and other nutrients.
In summary, the existence of these reasons is not difficult to understand why Chinese people like to treat peanuts as The appetizers are over.

Case Sharing
63-year-old Uncle Zhang, his “ultimate hobby” in life is to have a glass of wine with dinner, paired with a plate of fried peanuts, and suddenly feel that his life is complete and his life is worth it. But two years ago, Uncle Zhang went to the hospital for a checkup because of head pain and chest tightness, and was later diagnosed with high blood pressure.
The doctor reminded Uncle Zhang that he must adjust his diet and eat less fatty meat and foods high in fat. And take medicine as prescribed. After returning home, Uncle Zhang did follow the doctor’s orders, but he never completely gave up his hobbies in life. Every night, he would have some peanuts and white wine.
During dinner at home some time ago, Uncle Zhang suddenly felt that his left hand could not use his strength, he could not hold chopsticks, and even lost his grip. Awareness, the family quickly dialed 120 to take him to the hospital. After examination, Uncle Zhang’s cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly higher than the standard, which has reached the high-risk level.
After a CT scan of the head, a large area of cerebral infarction with brain herniation was found. The doctor urgently arranged for Mr. Zhang Craniotomy was performed for decompression, but because the size of the cerebral infarction was too large, Uncle Zhang finally failed to survive the difficulties and unfortunately passed away.
After the incident, the doctor said: “Peanuts and rice with wine are not healthy, especially for those with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure. It is not recommended for middle-aged and elderly people to eat like this.
Why does the doctor say such a thing? Is it drinking? Can’t touch peanuts?
03
Why not touch peanuts when drinking?
Don’t they all say that peanuts and liquor are standard? Why don’t doctors recommend eating them together? p>
Peanut has the reputation of “longevity fruit” since ancient times, and its nutritional value has been recognized. It is a high-protein food, but at the same time, its fat content is also very high, accounting for about 30% of the total. 50%, especially peanuts fried at high temperature, produce a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which can increase triglyceride levels after entering the body.
In addition, long-term intake of high-protein foods like peanuts can also easily lead to increased cholesterol levels, which can make the Blood lipids rise, blood vessels harden, further narrow and block, and finally induce cerebral infarction.
Long-term heavy drinking greatly increases the risk of alcoholic fatty liver disease, reduces the metabolism of blood lipids in the liver, and further increases blood lipid levels , increase the risk of atherosclerosis and induce cerebral infarction.
Not only that, drinking a lot of high-quality liquor will also stimulate the human sympathetic nervous system, damage the vascular endothelial function, etc. It leads to increased blood pressure and blood lipid levels, and high blood pressure is a major predisposing factor for stroke, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases.
Uncle Zhang himself suffers from high blood pressure, and he likes to drink a little wine and eat peanuts together. This result is also plausible.
From this point of view, it can be seen that eating liquor and peanuts together is not good for vascular health. If the two are paired together Eating them may cause “1+1>2” damage, so doctors do not recommend that you mix them up and eat them.

Doctor: Drink as little as possible of these 5 “snacks”
The 1st “Snack” – Durian
Alcohol is digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract after drinking, because the human body contains acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, so the alcohol in the blood can be excreted as soon as possible,
Eating durian while drinking is not conducive to the secretion of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, and it cannot metabolize and excrete alcohol in time. Eating durian while drinking will increase the risk of alcoholism after drinking. Chances of causing great damage to the liver.
Second “Snack” – Kebab
Summer is a great time to eat barbecue and drink beer. Gathering with friends and drinking small wine with grilled skewers is one of life’s great things. Pleasure. There are various types of barbecues, such as sizzling with oil, sprinkled with cumin and chili noodles, paired with garlic cloves, a bite is very satisfying, and a bottle of beer makes people feel comfortable.
However, beer and barbecue will have adverse effects on the body. After pork, lamb, and beef are grilled at high temperature, not only It will reduce the nutrient content of meat, and it will also lose most of the protein, resulting in carcinogens such as benzopyrene. Often pairing barbecue and beer together will only increase the risk of cancer.
The 3rd “Snack” – Seafood< /p>
I believe that no one can resist the temptation of fatty seafood, crabs, clams, king crabs and other seafood are complete, and rich in minerals, vitamins, Trace elements, protein and other nutrients are very low in calories and fat, so you don’t have to worry about gaining weight during weight loss.

However, seafood with beer is a “gout package”. Doctors suggest that it is best not to eat seafood as a snack when drinking, so as not to increase the level of uric acid in the body and induce gout, which will adversely affect your health.
The 4th “Snack” – Pickled Foods strong>
Bacon, sausage, salted fish, pickled vegetables, etc. are common pickled foods in life. The salt content in it is extremely high, which can cause water and sodium retention after entering the human body, increase blood volume, lead to fluctuations in blood pressure, and further damage blood vessels. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not drink with pickled foods.
The 5th “Snack” – Persimmon< /span>
The persimmons mentioned here are not tomatoes. Many people like to eat persimmons and persimmon cakes at ordinary times. Loved by men and women of all ages, the taste is soft, waxy and sweet, even the elderly can eat it.
It should be noted that persimmons cannot be eaten when drinking, as persimmons will react with the components in gastric juice, In turn, hard lumps that are insoluble in water are produced. Eating persimmons and wine together may induce gastrointestinal diseases such as enteritis and gastric ulcers.
