1, easy to get angry
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, litchi is warm, and it is easy to get angry when eaten too much, which can easily lead to sores on the mouth and tongue, bad breath, dry mouth and even nosebleeds. Damp heat constitution or people with poor gastrointestinal function should not eat more. For children, litchi is the same as mango, longan and other fruits. Children with heavy internal fire had better not eat, and normal children should eat as little as possible. For the elderly, elderly people with constipation should try not to eat; Especially patients with liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes and gastrointestinal diseases should be more cautious.
2, get "litchi disease"
Litchi is a unique fruit in southern China. It is very delicious. But litchi should not be eaten more, otherwise litchi disease may occur. Because most of the monosaccharides contained in litchi are fructose, fructose can be converted into energy-supplying glucose or stored glycogen after being absorbed by human body and catalyzed by a series of enzymes, which is oxidized by tissues and cells.
If you eat too much litchi and too much fructose at a time, your blood sugar (blood sugar refers to the concentration of glucose in your blood) will be much lower than normal, which will lead to hypoglycemia. Therefore, litchi disease is an acute disease caused by hypoglycemia, which is characterized by early onset in the morning, often with early symptoms such as sweating, cold limbs, fatigue, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and then sudden convulsions and coma. If left untreated, he will die within a few hours.
Children, in particular, should be careful not to eat more, otherwise it will seriously affect their health. So it's best not to eat a lot of lychees continuously. You can drink a little salt water or herbal tea before and after eating litchi, and mung bean water, wax gourd water and Sheng Di soup also have good curative effects.
The correct way to eat litchi:
1, salt water immersion
Peel litchi, but don't peel the white film. After washing, soak it in 30% salt water for one hour and take it out. Peel off the white film and eat it. After litchi was soaked in salt water, the internal heat was greatly reduced. If you soak a lot of lychees at a time and want to keep them longer, you can peel off the white film directly, then soak the pulp in light salt water for an hour, then take it out and put it in a fresh-keeping box and put it in the frozen layer of the refrigerator.
Step 2 eat fruit slices
When peeling litchi shells, there is a thin white film on the pulp, which tastes a little astringent. Generally, the skin is peeled, but if you want to prevent getting angry, it is suggested that you eat the film together, and then eat the Bai Di part of the pulp recessed in the litchi pedicle together after eating the litchi, which can also prevent getting angry.
3, each time shall not exceed 10.
Ordinary people should not eat more than 10 at a time, especially children should eat 3-4 lichee at a time, so it is not advisable to overdo it. However, people with yin deficiency, dryness and heat, and excessive dampness and heat should not eat litchi, and people with diabetes and flatulence should also eat carefully. People suffering from acne, cold, acute inflammation and other symptoms should not eat litchi, which will aggravate the symptoms.
4. Enjoy "Dew and Red Litchi"
Dew litchi is a fresh litchi picked from the tree before dawn, and the dew has not faded. These lychees have absorbed the sunshine for a whole day, and then cooled down after a night, so the heat is reduced, which will not only taste more delicious, but also avoid the problem of getting angry.
Step 5 drink some salt water
Before eating litchi, you can drink a proper amount of salt water or foods such as Prunella vulgaris herbal tea, winter melon soup, mung bean soup, etc., which can effectively prevent getting angry. Or cook lean meat or pork bone soup with 20~30 grams of Radix Rehmanniae, which can effectively prevent litchi disease.
