Is eating too many plums good for your health?
Most northerners know the saying: "Peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and people are buried under plum trees", which means that eating too many plums will have serious consequences. Experts explained that there are some exaggerated elements in folk proverbs, but eating too many plums does have a bad effect on health. Eating too many plums will produce phlegm and help damp. The organic acids contained in plums will combine with protein in food to form a clot, which will precipitate in the intestine, causing vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and indigestion. Therefore, people with weak spleen and stomach should eat less plums and eat up to five or six a day. Apricot has the functions of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, clearing away heat and toxic materials. However, because of their laxative effect, eating too much may also cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Therefore, adults should not eat more than 65438 apricots every day. Although peaches are nourishing, they have the effects of clearing away heat and reducing fire, nourishing blood and promoting fluid production, which is good for patients with arteriosclerosis and heart disease, but the more peaches you eat, the better. Generally, it is better to eat about three peaches a day. Because old people and children have poor digestive function, eating too many peaches can cause discomfort such as epigastric pain.
