But vitamin c should be supplemented in moderation. If you take a lot of vitamin C for a long time, your body will always be in a state of high metabolism. If you stop taking medicine suddenly one day, your body is likely to feel unwell.
According to the different types of colds, the choice of fruit collocation is also different. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, there are two kinds of colds: wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds; From the perspective of western medicine, colds can be divided into viral colds and bacterial colds. If you have a cold, you need to pay special attention to the following five fruits.
First, pears, because raw pears are cold and cool, must be stewed to get rid of the cold. Therefore, for patients with cold and cold, eating pears raw may have the opposite effect. Second, watermelon, eating watermelon is equivalent to eating heat-clearing medicine. Eating watermelon in patients with wind-cold cold can easily aggravate the cold virus and make the condition worse. However, if it is not a cold, eating some watermelons properly will help to cure the cold. Third, oranges are cool and sweet. Those who have not solved exogenous pathogenic factors due to wind-cold should eat something pungent and warm to dispel cold. Citrus is sour and cold, which is not conducive to the external explanation of cold pathogens and should be avoided. Wang Mengying, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, pointed out long ago: "Citrus, cold is the taboo of illness." Fourth, people who are cold, weak or have a cold must use tomatoes with caution. They can be made into tomato and egg soup. Five, persimmons, persimmons are cold and sweet. Those who catch a cold due to wind and cold should eat spicy food and avoid cold and cold things. Persimmon is cold and astringent, and the cold evil of eating is not easy to come out, so it should be avoided.
It should also be noted that for diabetics, it is best not to eat too much fruit after catching a cold. This is because blood sugar fluctuates greatly during a cold, which is difficult to control, and the sugar content in fruit is high. It is not recommended to supplement vitamins and water by eating fruit.
Strengthening the nutritional balance and maintaining healthy hygiene habits are the most effective ways to prevent colds. We should not only eat more fruits to promote the recovery of colds, but also maintain a good quality of life and habits to prevent colds. This should be borne in mind.
