Is there any harm in eating water spinach?
Weak people should not eat more water spinach.

Water spinach is a cold and slippery food, so people with weak constitution, spleen and stomach deficiency and diarrhea should not eat more.

Decades ago, water spinach was a standard summer vegetable, but with the progress of agricultural science and technology, it can be eaten at any time and is one of the most popular vegetables.

Water spinach is named after its hollow stem, and some people call it "Yingcai" or "Ipomoea aquatica". It is a perennial herb, which is related to sweet potato and morning glory, so when it grows up, its stem will gradually become tendril-like, and it will climb on the ground or by the pool.

Water spinach has a good habit of water, so when it is cultivated in general soil, it must be watered with enough water to grow thick and green. When autumn comes, water spinach will produce funnel-shaped white flowers, which are exactly the same in shape and size as morning glory. In the countryside, you can often enjoy the pleasing "water spinach flower field".

The main nutrients of water spinach are vitamin C, phosphorus, sodium and sugar, etc. Eating more can lower blood pressure, treat swollen gums and eye redness and nosebleeds caused by summer heat. However, people who have low blood pressure and are prone to paralysis or cramps for no reason should not eat more.
