Because litchi must be strictly managed in the natural environment such as environmental humidity and temperature, the litchi produced in China is concentrated in the range of north latitude18 to 29.5, and only a few provinces and regions such as Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian and Taiwan Province have corresponding litchi producing areas. Every authentic litchi producing area has a long history of nearly a hundred or even thousands of years behind it. It is precisely because everyone is tirelessly pursuing perfection on this sunny day that Su Dongpo, the number one fan of outstanding lychees, left this timeless quatrain-"There are 300 lychees a day, and the bottom thing is to be a Lingnan person."
Litchi is sweet, but eating too much is not a good thing. Recently, an 8-year-old girl with hypoglycemia was admitted to the outpatient department of a hospital in Hengshui, Hebei Province. Basically, little girls eat too much litchi at one time. Glycine A and methylcyclopropyl glycine often contained in litchi will continue to inhibit the metabolic transformation of sugar, leading to subacute litchi poisoning, which is often called "litchi disease".
Because litchi contains a lot of monosaccharides, these glucose can not be directly digested, absorbed and utilized by human body. If you eat litchi on an empty stomach, it will promote the metabolism of insulin glargine, leading to obvious hypoglycemia reaction, which is likely to kill your body. Especially for children and people with weak constitution, once many people eat litchi on an empty stomach, the risk of death will be further increased.
Besides children, these people should not eat too many lychees. 1. People with hypoglycemia For people with hypoglycemia, you can eat a little 1~2 litchi after a meal, which is not easy to lower the glycemic index. However, if patients with hypoglycemia have too many personal behaviors of eating litchi, it is very easy to cause obvious hypoglycemia reaction, which will cause a greater degree of physical and mental health damage.
Second, although many diabetics eat litchi, the glycemic index will decrease. But for diabetics, the metabolic function of islet cells is reduced. If you eat litchi, it will promote the abnormal function of islet cells and aggravate hyperglycemia. Litchi is a fruit with a particularly fast gi value. Once eaten by diabetics, the glycemic index will soar rapidly in a short time.
Third, people with strong internal fire litchi has more practical effects on physical and mental health, but it is characterized by heat. If people with strong internal fire eat litchi, it will cause more internal fire in the body, further aggravating the situation of strong internal fire, which will cause obvious and serious constipation, canker sore, swollen gums and nosebleeds.
4. People with allergic diseases suffer from a series of allergic diseases in daily life, such as allergic dermatosis, allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic cough, etc. Then such people must not eat litchi. Litchi contains some allergic ingredients, which will aggravate allergic symptoms once eaten.
5. People with canker diseases such as oral ulcer, gastritis and duodenal ulcer must not eat litchi. The sugar in litchi is very high. Once eaten, the ulcer will be strongly stimulated, which will aggravate the ulcer.
Litchi is delicious, how much is appropriate to eat a day? According to the recommendation of China Nutrition Society, the edible portion of daily fruit consumption of adults should be 200-350g. According to the lowest point of 200g, there are about 13 lychees of medium size. Do you feel that there are not many lychees? Therefore, it is suggested that adults should not eat more than 10 at a time, and children should not eat more than 5-6 litchi at a time. Of course, in order to be better and healthier, friends are advised to eat different fruits instead of just putting all their love into litchi.
