Many people often say that eating more fruits can help with beauty and anti-aging. Does every fruit have the same effect? After a woman becomes pregnant, she often hears that eating apples will give birth to a beautiful baby. Is fruit really that magical? Today, let's explore this topic together!
Several Common Fruits and Their Effects
1. Apple
Apple has a sweet and sour taste, is cool in nature, and has the effects of benefiting the stomach, generating body fluids, relieving restlessness, and sobering up.
Benefits of eating apples:
(1) Apples are low-calorie food. Each 100 grams of apple only produces 60 calories. For people who want to lose weight, it is a good fruit for weight loss.
(2) Its soluble nutrients are easily absorbed by the body, so it is called "living water" and is beneficial for dissolving sulfur elements, making the skin smooth and tender.
(3) The vitamin C in apples is a protector of the cardiovascular system and a health element for heart disease patients. Therefore, it is called a "comprehensive health fruit" and a "general practitioner".
Taboos for eating apples:
Apples are cool in nature. If you usually have a cold stomach and experience stomach pain when the weather gets colder or when you eat cold food, and the pain is accompanied by a cold feeling in the stomach, it is best to eat apples less.

Cherries have a higher iron content compared to other fruits, making them effective in improving anemia.
Their vitamin A content is 4-5 times higher than grapes, apples, and oranges, and their carotene content is also 4-5 times higher than grapes, apples, and oranges.
In addition, cherries also contain vitamin B, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, and other mineral elements.
Taboos for eating cherries:
Although cherries are good, they should not be eaten in excess. Because in addition to containing a lot of iron, they also contain a certain amount of cyanoglycosides, which can cause iron poisoning or cyanide poisoning if consumed in large quantities.
Cherries have a sweet taste and warm nature, so they should be consumed with caution by those who are prone to getting "hot", have a damp-heat constitution, or have excessive yin heat. Diabetic patients should also not consume them excessively.
3. Banana
Bananas have a sweet taste, cool in nature, and belong to the lung and spleen meridians. They have the effects of clearing heat, moistening the lungs, lubricating the intestines, and detoxifying.

Bananas contain a variety of trace elements. The potassium they contain can improve muscle spasms.
Magnesium has the effect of eliminating fatigue. Vitamin A can enhance resistance to diseases and is necessary for maintaining normal reproductive function and vision.
Thiamine can prevent beriberi, increase appetite, aid digestion, and protect the nervous system. Riboflavin can promote normal growth and development of the body.
Taboos for eating bananas:
(1) People with a weak and cold constitution
Bananas are cool in nature, so they are best avoided by people with a weak and cold constitution.

Bananas can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Eating them on an empty stomach will cause the intestines and stomach to work in advance, which is not conducive to overall health if done for a long time.

Bananas have a relatively high sugar content, which can slow down blood circulation and lead to the accumulation of metabolites, aggravating the condition of patients.
