On the nutritional components of carambola
Carambola is rich in various nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, iron, magnesium, potassium and dietary fiber. In particular, the content of vitamin C is higher, which is more than twice that of oranges. Carambola contains a special substance-oxalic acid, which can promote digestion and prevent constipation.
Is it appropriate to eat two carambolas a day?
It is good for most people to eat carambola in moderation in their diet, but the amount of carambola consumed every day may be different for everyone. Generally speaking, adults will have no problem eating carambola 1-2 per day. For the elderly or people with kidney diseases, carambola should be carefully eaten to avoid the adverse effects of oxalic acid in carambola on the kidneys.
Taboo crowd of carambola
Although carambola is a nutritious fruit, it is not suitable for everyone. The following groups of people should try to avoid eating carambola:
Patients with renal diseases: the mixture of oxalic acid and calcium oxalate in carambola can not be eliminated in time in patients with renal diseases, which may cause substantial renal damage. Patients with hypoglycemia: the sugar content in carambola is not low, so people with hypoglycemia should avoid eating too much. Patients with hematological diseases: Carambola contains oxalic acid, which will hinder the absorption of iron and is not conducive to the treatment of patients with hematological diseases. tag
In a word, it is good to eat carambola in moderation. Generally speaking, it is more suitable for adults to eat 1-2 carambola every day. However, for special people such as the elderly or patients with kidney diseases, they should be carefully eaten to avoid affecting their health.
