People who should not eat persimmons

People with diabetes:Persimmons have a high sugar content (10.8%) and are "harmful" sugars (surcose, fructose, glucose - although glucose is still essential for cells). Therefore, people with diabetes should limit their intake of persimmons to prevent increased blood sugar.

People who are often constipated:Tannin (tannic acid) of persimmons, when combined with Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium and several other minerals, will become a compound that our body cannot digest. These substances will become insoluble, precipitated into tiny particles that are easily excreted in the stool.

Eating too much persimmon will increase the sedimentation rate, making it difficult to get rid of large particles, and can form large clumps that can block digestion.

Do not eat persimmon peel:Most of the tannin in persimmons is concentrated in the skin. When removing the astringent taste of persimmons, it is impossible to remove all the tannin in it. Therefore, you should not eat the persimmon skin. If you eat the skin, it can easily form stones in the stomach.

Time not to eat persimmon

Do not eat when hungry:Because persimmons contain a lot of tannin and pectin, if eaten on an empty stomach, they will coagulate under the action of stomach acid. If these coagulated masses cannot reach the small intestine through the pylorus, they will remain in the stomach and form stones there.

If this stone is not excreted naturally, it will cause digestive tract obstruction, causing symptoms such as upper abdominal cramps, vomiting, and even vomiting blood...

Do not eat persimmon with crab:In Oriental medicine, crab and persimmon are both cold foods, so they cannot be eaten together. From a modern medical perspective, crab, fish, and shrimp are rich in protein, and under the effect of tannin in persimmons, they can easily lead to precipitation, forming stones in the stomach.

Do not eat persimmons with goose meat:Goose meat is rich in protein, high quality protein. When protein meets tannin in persimmons, it easily condenses into tannic acid protein, accumulates in the stomach, and in severe cases can cause death.

Do not eat while drinking alcohol:Persimmons are cold, while alcohol is spicy, slightly bitter, hot and toxic. When alcohol enters the stomach, it stimulates intestinal secretions. Tannin in persimmons enters the stomach and forms a viscous, sticky substance that easily combines with cellulose to form blood clots, which are difficult to digest and cannot be excreted, and over time will cause intestinal obstruction.
