It is time for lychees to be in full bloom again. The plump and juicy lychees are summer fruits that many people love to eat. However, there are reports of "litchi is poisonous" every year, which makes people who want to eat litchi love and fear!
A few years ago, the mainland media said that 10 children who eat lychees on an empty stomach died! The doctor's call is to knock on the alarm clock for everyone! 》 article was circulated on WeChat, and the doctor pointed out that this is "litchi disease", that is, eating lychee in large quantities on an empty stomach, resulting in hypoglycemia. For example, severe hypoglycemia will cause brain nerve function to be damaged, drained, and coma.
And the attending physician of the nursing department of Chimei Medical Center pointed out in his face "Icu Dr. Chen Zhijin" that lychees do contain toxins that inhibit the production of glucose in the human body, especially those that are not cooked thoroughly. However, it is so serious that "poisoning" will be considered, and it needs to meet several conditions at the same time. Chen Zhijin pointed out that this all happens to some "poor nutrition" children in India. They can only happen if they are "empty, consume in large quantities, especially if they are "more uncooked" and "not having dinner"! Basically in Taiwan, it is more likely to have excessive nutrition, and there is really less nutritional deficiency. If you eat it normally, you don’t have to panic too much.
Then what is called "normal eating"? It's very simple, in fact, it's the three principles mentioned above: don't eat on an empty stomach, don't eat uncooked food, and don't overeat it. Lychee, dragon eye, and pear are all fruits with a higher sugar index, so the portion must be controlled. Nutritionists suggest that after shelling and removing seeds, the amount of lychee should be controlled at 0.5 bowls (about 100 grams), at most no more than one bowl. There are even fewer diabetes patients. Su Xiuqing, director of the Nutrition Department of the Hospital Affiliated to Taipei Medical University, was interviewed by the "Joint Newsletter" and pointed out that it is recommended that diabetics should not exceed 4 at a time, and 8 at a dragon's eyes.
According to the Food and Drug Administration's Food Database, the vitamin C content of lychees is quite high, almost at an amazing level. According to the teaching information on the Taiwan Cancer Foundation website, nutritionist Yu Yijun pointed out that vitamin C can avoid abnormalities in titanium tissues (such as soft bones, joints, blood vessel walls, etc.), but can also combine with vitamin E and selenium in the food, strengthen the attack against free radicals and cell damage, thereby increasing immunity and preventing genetic changes and carcinogenicity. And rich debris can help prevent hypertension and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and medium-storage.
