The time to enter the summer is also when many fruits are starting to grow. In addition to eating fresh directly, many women also share how to soak some fruits with syrup such as apricots, plums, strawberries, crocodiles… to quench their thirst when the weather is hot.
According to the women’s share, soaking some fruits by yourself saves money compared to buying outside the shop, and ensures food hygiene and safety. This is especially important for families with young children.
Experts say that it is advisable for families to soak their own fruit for use in the summer. However, the process of implementation as well as use need to pay attention to some points to avoid harm to health, especially young children.
Colonel, physician Bui Hong Minh – Traditional Medicine Association of Ba Dinh district (Hanoi) said that people, when soaking fruits, then use that water to use for the biggest purpose of refreshment and cooling on summer days. oh hot.
Knowing how to use fruit syrup will be very good, on the contrary, using the wrong way will harm the body.
In terms of oriental medicine, when soaked, fruits not only help to quench thirst, but each fruit is a medicine, with great healing effects, if you know how to use it. For example, from apricots, when eating ripe fruit or soaking in syrup, it has the effect of beautifying the skin, because in apricots there are antioxidants, rich in vitamins E, C …
What this physician should note for everyone is how to use it. When soaking syrup, most of the time, sugar is used, so if you have used it, most people only feel the sweetness of the sugar, and the good substances in the fruit have not yet been released.
In addition, using too thick syrup is also a very common mistake. “When using syrup that is too thick, not only does it load a large amount of sugar into the body, but it also causes effects on the digestive system. Therefore, it is necessary to dilute the syrup before use,” said Hong Minh physician.
Doctor, doctor Nguyen Trong Hung (National Institute of Nutrition) said that soaking fruit syrup is one of the traditional drinks of the people, this is also a way to store and preserve when the fruits come in. ripe season.
Doctor Hung recommends absolutely not to use thick syrup and not to drink too often.
However, it must be admitted that the fruit syrup contains a lot of simple sugars, the source of which comes directly from the fruits and also a large amount of added sugar to the pickling. While we are currently facing the story of metabolic disorders, overweight and obesity, it is very important to control simple sugars from foods and drinks.
“That’s not to say that we recommend not drinking fruit-infused water, but in fact, everyone wants to drink a little sweet after soaking the syrup, but to sweeten it, adding sugar is inevitable.
Therefore, when drinking, we need to dilute these types of soaked water and drink it intermittently because it contains a lot of sugar. Adults can only drink 1 to 2 times a week, not daily. Young children can have a longer time apart… For fruits, I always recommend that it’s best to use seasonal and fresh foods, “said Dr. Hung.
