And how much peach gum is the best amount to eat in a day?
What happens if you eat too much peach gum
1. Causes diarrhea
Peach gum is a mild nourishing herb with the effects of promoting urination, relieving diarrhea, and invigorating blood circulation. As a gelatinous food, it is not easily digested and can burden the intestines and stomach if consumed in large quantities, leading to diarrhea.
2. Causes gastrointestinal discomfort
Peach gum mainly consists of lactose, xylose, and α-glucuronic acid, as well as various trace elements and vitamins. It has the effects of beauty and nourishing the skin, and moistening the lungs and relieving thirst. However, due to its low digestibility, excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including bloating, abdominal pain, and indigestion.
3. Reduces appetite
Peach gum contains a considerable amount of carbohydrates. Excessive consumption can create a sense of fullness, which reduces food intake. Over time, it can lead to reduced appetite and nutritional deficiencies.
The optimal amount of peach gum to eat in a day
10-15 grams.
Peach gum, also known as peach blossom tears, contains amino acids, proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients. In addition to supplementing the necessary nutrients for the body, it also has the effects of promoting blood circulation, beauty, and relieving diarrhea. Generally, it is recommended to consume 10-15 grams of peach gum at a time, and excessive consumption should be avoided.
Should peach gum be eaten in the morning or before bed?
It is recommended to eat in the morning.
Peach gum is similar to gum arabic. Soaking it in water will produce a lot of mucus, which can moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements. However, being a gelatinous food, it is difficult to digest and can cause indigestion if consumed before bed. Eating peach gum in the morning can supplement nutrition without causing gastrointestinal discomfort and can better exert its medicinal effects. Therefore, it is recommended to eat peach gum in the morning.
Eating peach gum results in excreting peach gum
Why:
1. People with weak gastrointestinal function have poor digestion ability. Peach gum is difficult to digest and may appear in the stool if eaten. This may be due to poor gastrointestinal function.
2. Peach gum is rich in nutrients, but excessive consumption is not beneficial. Eating too much peach gum can also result in excreting peach gum.
What to do:
1. Treat the symptoms
If it is caused by gastrointestinal reasons, you should eat less or avoid eating peach gum, try to avoid difficult-to-digest foods, and reduce the harm to the gastrointestinal tract. Eat more stomach-nourishing foods such as Chinese yam, astragalus, and lotus seeds.
2. Control the amount
Peach gum is rich in nutrients and has the effects of promoting blood circulation, beauty, and relieving diarrhea. The recommended dosage is 10-15 grams. Excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms.
