Pumpkin is high in fiber and low in GI, and can replace staple foods to make you feel fuller.

The dietary fiber content of pumpkin is much higher than that of general staple foods, such as rice and pasta, and the GI value is also lower. It can enhance gastrointestinal motility and help defecation. Replacing part of the staple food with pumpkin can not only increase the feeling of fullness, but also help control blood sugar and delay hunger time.

Nuts are rich in MUFA, dietary fiber, and minerals. Moderate intake is good for health.

Nuts are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), which can increase good cholesterol (HDL-c) and lower bad cholesterol (LDL-c) in the body. They are also an excellent natural source of vitamin E. Moderate intake can improve cardiovascular health. In addition, nuts are also rich in dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium and other minerals, which are indispensable elements for maintaining normal physiological functions and anti-oxidation.

Tips from nutritionists

Although nuts are nutritious and delicious, they are considered fats and oils when it comes to dietary replacements and are not low in calories, so you should pay special attention to the amount you consume. The recommended daily intake of nuts is about one tablespoon (5 cashews/2 walnuts/5 almonds/10 pistachios), which is equivalent to about 1 teaspoon (5 grams) of fat. Remember to control the amount of nuts you eat, as excessive consumption can easily lead to obesity!
