Although eating persimmons has many benefits, there are several points to be reminded:

You can't eat persimmon on an empty stomach.

Because persimmon contains more tannic acid and pectin, it will form lumps of different sizes under the action of gastric acid on an empty stomach. If these masses cannot reach the small intestine through pylorus, they will stay in the stomach and form gastric persimmon stones. Small belly persimmon stones are like apricot stones at first, but they will accumulate more and more. If the stomach persimmon stone cannot be discharged naturally, it will cause digestive tract obstruction, severe pain in the upper abdomen, vomiting and even hematemesis. A fist-sized stomach persimmon stone was found during the operation. If the stomach has a "bottom", the formation of stomach persimmon stone can be avoided.

Persimmon skin can't be eaten.

Some people think that chewing persimmon skin while eating persimmon is more delicious than eating persimmon alone. In fact, this way of eating is unscientific. Because most of the tannic acid in persimmon is concentrated in the skin, it is impossible to remove all the tannic acid when persimmon is astringent. If the skin is eaten together, it is easier to form stomach persimmon stone, especially when the astringency removal process is not perfect, and its skin contains more tannic acid.

Don't eat with high-protein crab, fish, shrimp and other foods.

In traditional Chinese medicine, crabs and persimmons are cold foods and cannot be eaten together. From the point of view of modern medicine, high-protein crabs, fish and shrimps are easy to solidify into blocks under the action of tannic acid, that is, stomach persimmon stone.

People with diabetes should not eat it.

The sugar content of persimmon is 10.8%, and most of them are simple disaccharides and monosaccharides (such as sucrose, fructose and glucose), which are easily absorbed after eating, and make blood sugar rise. It is more harmful to people with diabetes, especially those with poor blood sugar control.

Don't go too far

Tannic acid in persimmon can form compounds that the human body can't absorb with minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and iron in food, so these nutrients can't be utilized, so eating more persimmon can easily lead to the lack of these minerals. Because persimmon has a high sugar content, people feel more full when they eat persimmon than when they eat the same number of apples and pears, which will affect their appetite and reduce their intake of dinner. It is generally believed that it is advisable to eat no more than 200 grams of persimmons every time when you are not on an empty stomach.

Rinse your mouth after eating

Persimmons are rich in sugar and pectin. After eating persimmons, some of them are always left in the mouth, especially in the teeth. Adding weakly acidic tannic acid, it is easy to corrode the teeth and form dental caries. Therefore, it is advisable to drink a few mouthfuls of water after eating persimmons or rinse your mouth in time.
