So how do you properly eat "hot" fruits like jackfruit, mango, and lychee?

According to experts, although jackfruit, mango, and lychee may cause some health problems, that doesn't mean you should completely avoid them. You can still eat these fruits as long as you keep them within reasonable limits, follow proper eating guidelines, and consume them correctly to avoid harming yourself.

Associate Professor Nguyen Thi Lam emphasized that one should not eat large quantities of jackfruit, mango, and lychee at once. Each serving should only contain 80-100g of these sweet fruits. Below are specific guidelines on how to properly consume these fruits to protect your health:

You shouldn't eat too much jackfruit, mango, or lychee at once.

Jackfruit

- You should only eat jackfruit 1-2 hours after eating it, not on an empty stomach, and not in the late afternoon or evening.

- Jackfruit should be eaten with other fruits to provide the body with additional essential vitamins and minerals.

- When eating jackfruit, chew thoroughly, especially the firm, chewy variety which is often hard to digest and can harm the stomach.

- For those prone to internal heat or acne, when eating jackfruit, it's important to drink plenty of water and eat lots of green vegetables.

Mango

- Absolutely do not eat mangoes on an empty stomach, even ripe ones, because they are still sour and can harm your stomach. Furthermore, the sourness of this fruit will irritate the stomach, increasing gastric acid production and the risk of intestinal problems. Moreover, it can easily lead to temporary dizziness or poisoning when consumed on an empty stomach.

- Avoid eating overly ripe mangoes as you may not get the necessary amount of vitamin C for your body.

- Avoid eating too many mangoes at once, especially those with a tendency towards internal heat, rashes, overweight, obesity, or diabetes; they should limit their mango consumption.

Avoid eating unripe lychees, that is, lychees that are still green and not fully ripe. Avoid eating or chewing on lychee seeds.

Fabric

- Avoid eating unripe lychees, that is, lychees that are still green and not fully ripe. Avoid eating or chewing on lychee seeds.

- Avoid eating too many lychees at once, and don't eat them on an empty stomach because the high sugar content in fresh lychees can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar, leading to heat-related inflammation or symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea.

- You should eat the white membrane and the white part at the top of the lychee fruit. When you peel a lychee, you'll see a white membrane with a slightly astringent taste. These parts are all effective in preventing internal heat.

- Do not eat more than 10 lychees at a time, and children should not eat more than 3-4 lychees at a time. When giving lychees to children, be very careful as they may choke on the fruit. You can peel the lychees into smaller pieces for them to eat.

- Patients with diabetes, those with internal heat-generating diseases, or those prone to colds, chickenpox, boils, rashes, styes, etc., should severely limit, or ideally avoid, eating lychees.
