Many places have the custom of eating persimmons in the first frost season. It is said that it can keep out the cold and keep warm, and it can also strengthen the bones and muscles, which is an important measure for health preservation.
In fact, persimmons mature around the first frost. At this time, persimmons are big, thin-skinned and rich in sweet juice, which is the best time to eat. There is also a saying in southern Fujian that you should eat persimmons on the first frost, otherwise your lips will crack easily all winter.
Modern nutrition points out that persimmon has extremely high nutritional value; Rich in vitamins and minerals, vitamin C and manganese are very high in common berries. It also contains some carotenoids and rich water resources, and is known as "the sweetest golden fruit".
The four ways to eat persimmons are not for health, but for health.
1, eat a lot every day
Persimmons are good, but they should not be eaten more. In our traditional custom, as long as someone says this thing is good, you can eat more, so someone will eat it, which is very bad.
For the human body, what the body lacks is what it needs most, and what is superfluous is the metabolic burden of the human body. Therefore, the higher the nutritional value of food, the better it is to eat it.
Moreover, persimmon contains high tannic acid, which may combine with protein in the stomach, which is not conducive to the absorption and utilization of protein by human body, so people with poor digestive function or the elderly should not eat persimmon in large quantities.
For healthy people, it is no problem to eat less than two at a time. If you like, it's okay to eat it twice a day (about four times). For people with weak gastrointestinal function, it is enough to take 1-2 tablets a day.
2. Eat persimmons on an empty stomach
After eating persimmon on an empty stomach, the tannic acid in persimmon meets gastric acid, which will increase the acidity of the stomach, which will inevitably enhance the stimulation of gastric mucosa and even induce abdominal pain.
Therefore, it is ideal to eat persimmons 30 minutes after meals. After getting up in the morning, before lunch and before dinner, it is best not to eat persimmons on an empty stomach. It is ok to eat in small amounts at other times.
3. Eat with skin, or eat incompletely cooked persimmons.
Comparatively speaking, the content of tannic acid in persimmon peel is high; The tannic acid content in immature persimmons should not be underestimated;
So when eating persimmons, it is best to peel them; For persimmons that are not fully ripe, it is best not to eat them in a hurry.
4. Don't rinse your mouth after eating persimmon.
Persimmon is rich in fructose, and fructose and tannic acid are substances that are easy to damage teeth; Moreover, the fructose of persimmon is syrupy, which is very easy to stick to teeth or gums after eating. If you stay for a long time, it will breed more bacteria and pose a threat to oral health, teeth and gums.
Therefore, it is recommended that you rinse your mouth and clean your oral hygiene after eating persimmons, especially soft persimmons.
As for the online rumor that persimmon can't be eaten with XX food, there is no clear conclusion yet. So as long as it is healthy food and a reasonable diet, there is no problem.
Theoretically, in our daily diet, the more diversified and balanced the food, the more beneficial it is to human health. Pay special attention to the collocation of meat food, fresh vegetables, melons and fruits, and all kinds of whole grains.
Therefore, no matter how good persimmon is, it is not recommended to be partial eclipse, but to match other foods reasonably and learn from each other's strengths to be healthier.
