Is persimmon getting angry or getting angry?
Is persimmon getting angry or getting rid of fire? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that persimmon is sweet, astringent and cold in nature, and has the functions of clearing away heat and dryness, moistening lung and resolving phlegm, softening hardness, quenching thirst and promoting fluid production, strengthening spleen, treating dysentery and stopping bleeding, and can relieve constipation, hemorrhoid pain or bleeding, dry cough, sore throat and hypertension. Therefore, persimmon is a natural health food for patients with chronic bronchitis, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and internal and external hemorrhoids. If persimmon leaves are decocted or boiled as tea, it can also promote metabolism, lower blood pressure, increase coronary blood flow and relieve cough and phlegm.
Although eating persimmons has many benefits, there are several points to be reminded:
1, you can't eat persimmons on an empty stomach because persimmons contain more tannic acid and pectin. On an empty stomach, they will form lumps of different sizes under the action of gastric acid. If these lumps can't reach the small intestine through pylorus, they will stay in the stomach and form stomach persimmon stones. Small stomach persimmon stones are like apricot kernels at first, but they will accumulate bigger and bigger. 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. The stomach persimmon stone as big as a fist was found during surgery. If the stomach has a "bottom", the formation of stomach persimmon stone can be avoided.
2, persimmon skin can not be eaten Some people feel that chewing persimmon skin while eating persimmons is more delicious than eating persimmons 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 in persimmon when it is astringent. If it is eaten together with the skin, it is easier to form stomach persimmon stone, especially when the astringency removal process is not perfect, its skin contains more tannic acid.
3. Don't eat with high-protein crabs, fish, shrimps and other foods. In traditional Chinese medicine, crabs and persimmons are cold foods, so they can't be eaten together. From the point of view of modern medicine, crabs, fish and shrimps with high protein are easily solidified into pieces under the action of tannic acid, that is, stomach persimmon stone.
4. People with diabetes should not eat persimmons because they contain 10.8% sugar, and most of them are simple disaccharides and monosaccharides (such as sucrose, fructose and glucose), so they are easily absorbed after eating, which makes blood sugar rise. For diabetics, especially those with poor blood sugar control are more harmful.
