One of the healthy winter snacks is the chestnut. You can eat it raw after peeling the shell, or enjoy roasted or steamed chestnuts. Raw chestnuts are rich in vitamin C, which helps break down alcohol and reduces hangovers, making them a good accompaniment to drinks. Boiling or roasting enhances the flavor and improves digestibility. Unsaturated fatty acids in chestnuts help reduce triglycerides in the blood and contribute to the prevention of vascular diseases. Let's revisit the health benefits of chestnuts.

 

Reduces triglycerides and cholesterol that stick to blood vessels... Effects of unsaturated fatty acids + dietary fiber

 

Night contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-3, which are not produced by the body. They help improve blood and vascular health by lowering the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol that stick to blood vessels (data from the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences). They may also help prevent heart disease (angina pectoris-myocardial infarction) and stroke (ischemic stroke-hemorrhage). Dietary fiber, which contains 5.4g per 100g, also directly reduces triglycerides and cholesterol in the body.

Eating at night when you're tired... helps reduce fatigue and aids digestion

 

At night, there is a high amount of vitamin B1. It is a nutrient that reduces fatigue. Night vitamin B1 increases the metabolism of glucose consumed through food and contributes to energy production. Eating a handful of chestnuts helps restore energy. One serving of chestnuts (60g) contains 13.6% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin B1 and 11.6% of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6, which is good for immunity, helps prevent colds and fatigue. Sugars improve gastrointestinal function. They help alleviate symptoms of indigestion and diarrhea and promote good digestion. The carbohydrate-lipid components contribute to increasing immunity.

 

Contributing to building and growing muscles... Why is it a healthy snack?

 

These days, there is a craze for protein. This is because muscle mass naturally decreases with age. To build muscle, people often consume protein-rich foods such as meat. Vitamin B6 affects the production and breakdown of amino acids in the body, making it essential for protein metabolism. Eating chestnuts after consuming meat can help with muscle formation. Chestnuts contain a balanced amount of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and calcium, which aid in building and strengthening muscles. According to the national standard food composition table, 100 grams of chestnuts contain 15.98 mg of vitamin C. Vitamin C is good for slowing aging and preventing oxidation in the body.

 

The shell at night helps skin health... overeating is a no-no

 

Not only the chestnut kernel but also the shell inside the chestnut, called yulpi, is very beneficial for the skin. This yulpi contains tannin, a component that helps to shrink pores. Using yulpi powder as a pack can help with pore reduction and exfoliation. After collecting and thoroughly drying the inner shell of the chestnut, grinding it finely yields yulpi powder. Chestnuts are very sweet but have a very low fat content. Rich in dietary fiber, they help reduce hunger even in small amounts. However, overeating is prohibited. Due to the influence of carbohydrates and sugars, eating too much can lead to weight gain.
