Precautions for eating fruits

　　1. Control the amount of food consumed and avoid overdose.

　　Most fruits contain high sugar content. Excessive consumption can easily lead to elevated blood sugar, excessive calories, and may also cause abdominal distension and diarrhea. It is recommended that the daily consumption should be controlled at 200-350 grams, about 1-2 kinds of fruits. Diabetic patients need to choose low-sugar fruits (such as grapefruit, kiwi) and strictly control the intake.

　　2. Special groups of people can choose according to their needs.

　　People with spleen and stomach deficiency should eat less cold fruits such as persimmons and hawthorns, and can be paired with warm foods such as red dates and longans.； People with excessive gastric acid should avoid eating highly acidic fruits such as hawthorns and oranges on an empty stomach to avoid irritating the gastric mucosa. ； People with allergies should be wary of allergenic fruits such as mango and pineapple and try a small amount when consuming them for the first time.

　　3. Pay attention to the way and timing of consumption

　　Avoid eating persimmons, lychees and other fruits on an empty stomach. The tannic acid in persimmons combines with gastric acid to easily form stomach stones. Eating lychees on an empty stomach may cause hypoglycemia.； Fruits need to be washed thoroughly, and the surface can be rinsed with running water to remove residual pesticides or dust. It is safer to eat fruits with their skins (such as apples and pears) peeled.

　　When eating fruits in autumn and winter, you should pay attention to moderate amounts. People with spleen and stomach deficiency should eat less cold fruits (such as pears and kiwis). It is best to leave them at room temperature before eating to avoid irritating the stomach. Only with reasonable combination can we truly bring into play the health-preserving wisdom of "eating in season".
