Nutrition experts suggest eating more fruits, but Chinese medicine believes that people have physique and fruits naturally have the nature of fruits. In fact, the nutritional value and medicinal value of each fruit are different. If you are not careful, eating fruit may still make people uncomfortable, but if you choose the right fruit according to your physique, then the nourishing effect will be twice the result with half the effort!

Fruit attribute V.S physique

Chinese medicine believes that food entering the body will have the effects of "cold, heat, warmth and cold". Therefore, every fruit has its "personality". Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance and harmony of yin and yang, so people with hot constitution should eat more cold food. People with cold constitution naturally eat more warm food, and the principle of eating fruit is the same.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hot fruits refer to fruits with high calorie density and high sugar content. If you eat this fruit, it is easy to get angry and your body energy will increase. On the contrary, fruits with low calorie density and rich fiber, but low fat and sugar, are cold. If you eat this fruit, fiber and water will occupy the gastrointestinal space, making people unable to eat other nutritious foods. People who eat too much will become more and more listless, weak, more and more afraid of cold and weak.

So how should all kinds of constitutions match fruits? Nutrition experts take you into the maze:

1. Peach-the fruit with the highest iron content.

There is a folk saying that "peaches nourish people and apricots hurt people". Because peaches are rich in vitamins, minerals and fruit acids, their iron content ranks first among fruits. Iron is the main raw material for human hematopoiesis, which is quite beneficial to health.

2. Apricot-a good product for relieving cough and relaxing bowels.

Apricot contains citric acid, malic acid and beta carotene, which is mainly used for relieving cough and asthma, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels. However, Compendium of Materia Medica records that "raw food hurts bones and muscles".

3. Watermelon-clearing heat and relieving summer heat, diuresis

There is a folk proverb in our country: eat watermelon in summer, don't catch medicine. It shows that summer is the best time to eat watermelon. Watermelon is rich in vitamins A, B 1, B2, C, glucose, sucrose, malic acid, glutamic acid and arginine. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer-heat, inducing diuresis and lowering blood pressure, and has certain auxiliary effects on high fever and thirst, summer heat and sweating, nephritis, oliguria and hypertension.

Although watermelon is good, Chinese medicine experts believe that watermelon is a cold food, which is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people with spleen and stomach weakness, chronic enteritis, gastritis and duodenal ulcer or loose stool had better eat less. Normal people should not eat more, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach and cause indigestion or diarrhea.

Need to be reminded that patients with colds and fever in summer often use watermelon to replenish water and reduce fever, but because it belongs to sweet and cold food, it is not suitable for colds and early colds, especially those with symptoms such as chills and sweating.

4. Citrus limonene has anticancer effect.

Citrus fruits can moisten the lungs and regulate qi, and fresh orange juice contains a variety of creatine and vitamins, which is helpful to human metabolism, whitening and has a variety of health care functions. The white silk on the surface of orange pulp contains vitamin P, which can prevent and treat hypertension and has expectorant effect. There is a famous essential oil called limonene essential oil, which is the most important part of most oranges. At present, studies have pointed out that limonene has anti-cancer effect.

5. Papaya-Treating protein's Digestive Disorder

Papaya is not only a delicious fruit, but also has medical functions. Papaya contains an important digestive enzyme called papaya, which can decompose protein food into digestible state, which can dissolve up to 35 times of its own lean meat, which is why people use papaya to treat digestive disorders in protein. It has the highest content in the leaves of papaya trees and immature papaya skins.

6. Pineapple-Decompose protein's blood clot.

Every 100g pineapple fruit contains up to 30mg of vitamin C and is rich in water. Its pulp, like papaya, contains an enzyme that can decompose protein, so it can soften the meat and dissolve blood clots.

7. Strawberries-Reduce sunburn

Strawberry is rich in vitamins C, B, calcium, phosphorus and potassium, and it still occupies a place in plant medicine. Its leaves can be used as astringent after boiling, and can be used to treat diarrhea, fever, oral ulcer, gum and other diseases.

8. Grape-Good antioxidant effect

The antioxidant effect of grape seed is not only 20 times that of vitamin C, but also 50 times that of vitamin E. Grape seed contains a lot of OpC antioxidants, and OpC is a powerful flavonoid, which mainly exists in epidermis and seeds. Red grape seed, especially OpC, is an effective source and a potential key to increase the antioxidant activity of human body, which can protect immune oxidative damage and delay the aging process.
