persimmon

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:
You can't eat persimmons on an empty stomach because persimmons contain more tannic acid and pectin. In 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 to form stomach persimmon stones. Small stomach persimmon stones are like apricot kernels at first, but they will accumulate more and more.
Persimmon skin can't be eaten. Most of the tannic acid in persimmon is concentrated in the skin. When persimmon is astringent, it is impossible to remove all the tannic acid. 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.
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.
People with diabetes should not eat persimmon because it contains10.8% sugar, and most of them are simple disaccharides and monosaccharides (such as sucrose, fructose and glucose), so it is easy to be absorbed after eating, which makes blood sugar rise.
Enough is enough. Tannic acid in persimmon can form compounds that cannot be absorbed by the human body with minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and iron in food, so these nutrients cannot be utilized. Therefore, eating more persimmons can easily lead to the lack of these minerals. Generally speaking, it is advisable to eat no more than 200 grams of persimmons every time when you are not on an empty stomach.
After eating, gargle persimmons contain high sugar and pectin. After eating persimmons, there is always a part left in the mouth, especially in the teeth, and with weak acid tannic acid, it is easy to erode teeth and form dental caries. Therefore, it is advisable to drink a few mouthfuls of water after eating persimmons or gargle in time.
