Banana radiation is extremely low and nutritious can be eager to eat

Bananas can soothe the mood and are hailed as "happy fruits". However, many people do not know that the sweet and soft banana is actually a fruit containing radiation. But don't panic, it is unscientific to discuss the hazards of radiation from doses.

Where does the radiation of bananas come from? This is to mention the rich potassium (K) elements in bananas. Potassium is one of the important element components of human muscle tissue and neuro tissue, which is very important to the human body.

Excessive potassium can cause hypokalemia, manifested as systemic fatigue, nausea and vomiting, mental deficiency, dull response, palpitations, etc. The potassium isotope K-40 (40K) is indeed radioactive, but the radiation volume is very low.

In order to allow Volkswagen to intuitively understand the size of the radiation dose, an internationally introduced an informal ionizing radiation exposure dose -banana equivalent dose, that is, how many bananas were eaten to measure the amount of radiation received.

A normal -sized banana equivalent dose is about 0.0778 Weisi. What is this concept? The maximum allowed radiation exposure of the nuclear power plant to the surrounding environment is 250 Weisi (3,200 bananas) each year; the CT scan on the chest is 7 millisplasses (85,000 bananas). Moreover, human metabolism controls the potassium content in the body. Even if you eat a lot of bananas, excess potassium will be metabolized outside the body.

Chang Yuanxing, a nutritional physician of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, said that in fact, bananas are rich in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein, vitamin B6, vitamin C, etc., which are nutritious fruits. And maintain the human electrolyte balance.

It should be reminded that when constipation, you must eat cooked bananas, because the unpredictable banana contains tannic acid, but it will aggravate constipation. (Edit Li Chuang)
