"The fruit of the year is the most popular in the world. The company's main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.

Recently, a news story about a man who ate one pound of plums a day for 20 days to get a blood transfusion was on the news.

It is understood that the man began to show off his prunes after they hit the market, eating more than a pound a day, and has been eating for more than 20 days since the beginning of June.

But he has a history of diabetes and poor kidney function, and the plum is a fruit with high potassium content, so his long-term intake of large amounts of potassium has made his blood potassium burst, and he has general weakness and weakness in his legs before being sent to the hospital.

Laboratory results showed that his blood potassium was above the danger level and his creatinine value rose to 708 μmol/L. He was in the uremic phase with hyperkalemia, and his condition was so severe that he had to undergo hemodialysis treatment. The doctor said that severe hyperkalemia may also cause cardiac arrest, which is life-threatening, but fortunately the man was sent to the hospital in time and his condition has improved after treatment.

This case is a wake-up call that although fruit is nutritious, it is not suitable for everyone to eat in large quantities. Especially for people with chronic diseases, it is necessary to choose carefully.

These fruits are excellent in terms of taste and nutrition, but for people with poor kidney function may lead to excessive accumulation of potassium ions in the blood, increasing the burden on the kidneys and even triggering health problems such as hyperkalemia.

While fruits are rich in fiber and natural sugars, certain fruits are high in sugar and may have an impact on blood sugar control. People with diabetes should prioritize low-sugar fruits, such as lemons, blueberries and strawberries, and be careful to control consumption to avoid unnecessary blood sugar fluctuations that can aggravate the condition.

For people with hyperacidity, acidic fruits may stimulate gastric acid secretion and irritate the gastric mucosa, causing discomfort or aggravating acid problems.

Unripe fruits contain a lot of tannic acid, which can react with stomach acid when eaten and produce precipitates that are harder to digest and absorb, and therefore may lead to constriction and dryness of the intestines, which in turn can cause constipation. And hot fruits may lead to increased body moisture, which in turn affects digestive function and intestinal peristalsis, increasing the chances of constipation.

These fruits, rich in fiber and pectin, can help improve intestinal function, soften stools, and have a laxative effect, and people with poor intestines or intolerances to them are prone to diarrhea if they eat too much of them.

Of course, there are some people who rely on their health to eat fruit as a meal, not knowing that there are some fruits that normal people eat too much of that can be deadly!

Lychee contains a lot of natural glucose as well as protein, carbohydrates, and many vitamins. But over-eating will not only cause fire, but also may lead to disorders of glucose metabolism in the body, triggering hypoglycemia (i.e. lychee disease), light headache, nausea, sweating, thirst and weakness, and other symptoms, or a coma.

Mango is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, protein, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, but it also contains a certain protein that is one of the common allergens for many people, and accidental consumption of mangoes by such people may cause itching, redness, swelling, difficulty breathing, and other allergic symptoms.

Peaches are rich in many fruit acids, vitamins, trace elements, and fiber, etc. They are good for preventing constipation, but eating too much of them can easily cause diarrhea and bloating.

Durian is high in sugar and calories, and if consumed in large quantities, it is not only unfriendly to people with high blood sugar, but can also lead to fat gain. It is also a high-fiber fruit, and too much of it can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, abdominal pain and indigestion.

As the saying goes, "what goes around comes around", and fruit is an essential source of nutrition in our daily diet, but in addition to controlling consumption, bad fruit eating habits can also make us hurt more and more.

A bite of chilled fruit in the summer is great, but it can be a "crematorium" for the stomach.

When chilled food enters the stomach, it can cause vasoconstriction in the stomach, affecting normal blood flow to the gastric mucosa, which can interfere with digestion. This is more likely to cause abdominal pain and diarrhea symptoms for people with weaker digestion or a history of stomach problems.

Therefore, it is important to pay more attention to the amount of chilled fruit and not to swallow it in big bites when eating it, but to savor it slowly to give the stomach more time to adjust to the temperature change and reduce discomfort. It also works with other warm foods together to reduce the irritation to the stomach and promote digestion.

Many people say that fruit is an after-dinner dessert, but in reality fruit is not suitable for eating after a meal. When we eat our main meal and protein, the secretion of stomach acid increases, and the acidic content of fruit may interact with stomach acid, causing stomach upset, soreness or indigestion.

Most fruits contain organic acids, and the acidity in our stomach is relatively high when we are fasting, so eating fruits at this time may increase the irritation of stomach acids, leading to stomach discomfort or indigestion.

Choppers often come into contact with raw meat and vegetables, and if they are not thoroughly cleaned, they can easily bring parasites or bacteria to the fruit, which can cause illness. You should have a special knife for fruits, don't save money and lose more than you gain.

Fruit, a gift from nature, provides us with a wealth of nutrition and flavor. But when it comes to enjoying fruit, we also need to maintain moderation and caution in order to maximize its benefits.
