Apricots hurt people: The Book of Eating says: "It tastes sour and hot", "Don't eat too much, it will cause carbuncle and injury to bones and muscles". "Japanese Herbal Medicine" says: "Hot, toxic". "Materia Medica Yanyi" said: "Children are especially inedible, and eating too much can cause sores and carbuncle and upper diaphragm fever". Practice in life has proved that the sour taste of apricot makes people's teeth fall, which is not good for teeth. Strong sour taste has a destructive effect on calcium and may affect children's bone development.
Eating too many apricots at a time can also cause pathogenic fire to go up, causing nosebleeds, eye diseases, bad mouth and tongue, and may also cause sores, boils and diarrhea. It's true that apricots hurt people, so don't eat more. But just as nurturing peaches are harmful to people, hurting apricots is not bad for people, so I won't talk about it here.
Burying the dead under the plum tree: Plums do harm to human body. Sun Simiao said, "Don't eat too much, it's virtual". Herbal Medicine in Southern Yunnan contains: "Do not eat too much, which will damage the spleen and stomach".
"Living with Interest" also has the words "eat more to produce phlegm, help damp malaria, especially those with spleen deficiency". Life has proved that eating more plums can make people feel uncomfortable such as deficiency heat and brain swelling. Plums that are bitter and astringent and do not sink into the water are poisonous and can't be eaten. Plums eat more phlegm, damage teeth, and patients with weak constitution should eat less.
Extended data:
In the Dietary Pagoda for China Residents, it is suggested that each person should eat 200-400g of fruit every day, and eating some fruit properly is good for health. However, the long-standing saying "peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and dead people are buried under plum trees" makes people love and fear fruit, but they dare not eat it if they want to eat it.
Peach, warm in nature, has a nourishing effect. In real life, few people have any discomfort after eating too many peaches. Apricot, hot, many people have the experience of eating more apricots and getting angry; Plum, cool in nature, is good for the liver, but it is easy to have diarrhea when eaten too much. Many people have this experience.
In this way, you can eat more peaches and less apricots and plums. In fact, "peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and people are buried under plum trees" is mainly the harm caused by forced eating of fruits. In the diet structure of the ancients, the proportion of meat food was very small, and the diet was light, so at that time, people's constitution was weak and cold, and most of the diseases they were prone to were cold syndrome, so the health care advocated warming and nourishing Yang.
Peach is warm, which conforms to this principle, and it is more peaceful. It is harmless to eat more often, so there is a saying that "peach nurtures people". Apricots are hot, easy to get angry, and should not be eaten more, so there is a saying that "apricots hurt people." Plums are cool, which is contrary to this principle, and eating too much cold food hurts the spleen, which is why eating too many plums will cause diarrhea.
Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. If you have spleen deficiency, the food you eat is not easy to digest and absorb, which is very dangerous in ancient times. If you don't digest food, you will starve to death, which is why you have the saying "Bury the dead under the plum tree".
From this point of view, eating more plums is the most harmful. So, should we eat plums? Whether food is good or bad is not absolute. The times are changing, and people's diet structure and physique are also changing. In modern people's diet structure, meat accounts for a large proportion, and their physique is too hot. Eating plums is more conducive to health.
First, peaches. From the point of view of modern nutrition, the iron content in peach is relatively high, and the sugar is mainly fructose, which has high sweetness and low glycemic index, and peach is rich in pectin, which is helpful to lose weight and prevent hyperlipidemia and cholesterol.
Next is apricot. Almond is a frequent snack, which has the effects of relieving cough and asthma, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, and has high medicinal value. Besides being eaten directly, it can also be made into almond dew and various snacks. The carotene content in apricots is among the best in fruits, which helps to prevent vitamin A deficiency.
Finally, plums. As far as nutritional components are concerned, the nutritional value of plums is not high, but the medicinal value of plums is high. Plums are good for the liver, and Chinese medicine often uses plums to treat liver diseases. Stomach heat has no appetite, so eating some plums or drinking a cup of plum juice can clear stomach heat, stimulate appetite and stimulate appetite.
"Peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and people are buried under plum trees" is a summary of ancient people's experience, pointing out that eating too much fruit is harmful to health, prompting us not to eat too much, and whether it is harmful or not is also related to personal health, so we don't have to be afraid.
