Professor Xun Xiaolin, a clinical nutrition expert in the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, pointed out: This proverb is a summary of the ancient people's experience in eating fruits. Peach is warm, and few people feel uncomfortable after eating peaches; Apricot is hot, and many people have the experience of eating too many apricots and getting angry; It mainly emphasizes the harm that eating too much fruit brings to the body.

In fact, from the perspective of modern nutrition, the nutritional value of these two fruits is very high, and there is no difference between good and bad. As long as they are eaten in the right amount, they are good for your health.

Peach contains a variety of vitamins, fruit acids and inorganic salts such as calcium and phosphorus, and its iron content is also very high, almost 4-6 times that of apples and pears. However, eating more peaches is also easy to get angry. People who are hot and have symptoms of getting angry, such as dry mouth, thirst and sore throat, had better eat less peaches, and normal people should eat 1~2 a day.

Apricot is rich in beta carotene, which has strong antioxidant capacity and can protect eyes. Its potassium content is also very high, which can help maintain the normal fluid balance in the body. You should not eat more apricots, and it is best not to exceed three apricots every day. Anthocyanin contained in plums is a strong antioxidant, which helps to enhance human immunity. In addition, plums are rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastric acid secretion and help digestion.

Extended data:

1, eating too many peaches is easy to get angry.

Hu Liming, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Oriental Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, explained: Eating too many peaches is easy to get angry, and people who have excessive internal heat and are prone to sores should not eat more. People who are constipated by getting angry cannot relax their bowels by eating peaches, but will "add fuel to the fire".

2, apricot hurts people to eat too much and hurt the spleen and stomach

Hu Liming introduced that Chinese medicine believes that apricot is warm and has little toxicity, which is suitable for people with slow metabolism, anemia, cold limbs and deficiency-cold constitution, and is also beneficial to patients with wind, tuberculosis, expectoration and edema. However, for people with hot constitution, eating apricots can easily aggravate symptoms such as dry mouth and constipation. Moreover, fresh apricots are acidic, easy to damage teeth, and have a certain impact on the spleen and stomach. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases should not eat more. From this perspective, eating more apricots does hurt people. It is more suitable for ordinary people to eat 3~5 apricots. People who like apricots may wish to eat more preserved apricots and dried apricots with added sugar.
