The sugar content of litchi is about 16.6%, most of which is fructose. With the same sugar content, fruits with high fructose content will be sweeter, which is one of the reasons why many people like to eat litchi.
However, fructose can stimulate the secretion of insulin, which may lead to hypoglycemia, such as dizziness, palpitation, pallor, dizziness, fainting and so on. It is not advisable to eat a lot of lychee on an empty stomach, so it is safer to eat it between meals.
In addition, Chinese medicine believes that litchi is warm and easy to get angry when eaten more, so it is best to eat less for those with yin deficiency and excessive fire, and it is best not to eat for those with acne, sores, dry throat, swollen gums, constipation or acute inflammation.
2. Peach is a kind of warm fruit. If you have symptoms of excessive internal heat such as dry mouth, sore throat and nosebleeds, it is best to eat less or not, so as not to aggravate the symptoms of excessive internal heat. In addition, patients who are sickly and have weak gastrointestinal function should not eat too many peaches. Patients with skin diseases and boils should eat peaches as little as possible.
Others are allergic to peach hair and can be soaked in salt water or cleaned with a brush before eating.
Extended data:
Four taboos should be paid attention to when eating litchi.
1, not suitable for eating on an empty stomach.
Fresh litchi has a high sugar content. Eating on an empty stomach will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause stomach pain and bloating. And eating too much on an empty stomach will lead to "hyperosmotic coma" because the body suddenly supplements too much high sugar.
2, it is not appropriate to eat a lot of lychee.
Eating too much litchi can easily lead to sudden hypoglycemia, dizziness, thirst, nausea, sweating, stomach pain, palpitation and other phenomena, and in severe cases, coma, convulsions, arrhythmia and so on. These symptoms are all sudden hypoglycemia after eating a lot of litchi, which is called acute litchi poisoning in medicine, also called "litchi disease".
Because most of the monosaccharides in litchi are fructose, fructose can be converted into energy-supplying glucose or stored glycogen after being absorbed by human body, which is oxidized and utilized by tissues and cells. If you eat too much litchi at a time, your blood sugar content will be much lower than normal, leading to hypoglycemia.
Litchi disease is an acute disease caused by hypoglycemia, which is characterized by early onset in the morning, often with early symptoms such as sweating, cold limbs, fatigue, diarrhea, and then sudden convulsions and coma. If you have symptoms of excessive internal heat, you can eat some cool watermelons to reduce your fever.
Do not eat more than 10 at a time. Eating too much will lead to liver fire rising, dry throat, dry tongue coating, nausea, limb weakness, dizziness and other serious discomfort. Especially for children, taking 3-4 capsules is easy to cause fever.
3. People with diabetes should eat carefully.
Litchi has a high sugar content, so diabetics should use it with caution. At the same time, people with yin deficiency and excessive fire should not eat it, so as not to aggravate the symptoms of getting angry. Symptoms such as dry throat, swollen gums and nosebleeds should also be avoided.
4. Try not to eat frothy litchi.
Many lychees on the market now are soaked in water and contain a lot of water. After a large amount of water enters the gastrointestinal tract, it will dilute the digestive juice, cause loss of appetite or indigestion, and also cause temporary hypoglycemia.
Some blister lychees may contain toxic ingredients such as detergents, which may also cause dizziness.
