People who should not eat persimmons

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

People who are often constipated:Tannin (tannic acid) in 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 many persimmons will increase the amount of sediment that can easily form large particles that are difficult to pass through, and can form large clumps that can block digestion.

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

Time not to eat persimmons

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 effect 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, which, under the effect of tannin in persimmon, can easily lead to precipitation and the formation of 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. Over time, this will cause intestinal obstruction.
