Eating more fruits can help with metabolism and hydration, but there are a few fruits that should be eaten in moderation as they can lead to diseases and endanger life. Let's take a look at them together with the editor!
The following fruits should be eaten less:
1. Pineapple
Pineapple is sweet and sour, rich in vitamin C and sugar. It contains bromelain, which can cause a tingling and sour sensation in the mouth and stimulate the oral cavity. To reduce the activity of bromelain, you can soak the pineapple in salt water before eating. Also, be mindful of the amount you consume, as eating too much pineapple is not recommended for diabetics.
2. Peach
People in the northern regions especially love to eat oily peaches. However, remember not to eat them if they taste very bitter, as this can cause poisoning.
3. Sugarcane
Sugarcane is very hydrating and is suitable for replenishing water in dry climates. It is rich in iron and amino acids, and eating it in moderation can alleviate symptoms of dryness and thirst. However, sugarcane contains a lot of sugar, so eating too much of it can increase blood sugar levels, hinder intellectual development, and damage teeth. Therefore, eating too much sugarcane is not beneficial.
4. Banana
To make the peel of a banana look tender and yellow, some unscrupulous vendors use sulfur dioxide to ripen it. However, the flesh of the banana remains hard and not sweet. Sulfur dioxide and its derivatives not only harm the respiratory system but can also cause diseases in the brain, liver, spleen, kidneys, and even the reproductive system.
Diabetics can eat the following fruits:
1. Apple
Apples have a sweet and sour taste, and although they contain sugar, they are not rapidly absorbed by the body. They can lower blood sugar, especially post-meal blood sugar. Diabetics can safely eat apples.
2. Pomegranate
Pomegranates have a slightly sweet, sour, and astringent taste. They have the effect of relieving thirst and killing insects, making them suitable for diabetics, especially those with noticeable dry mouth.
3. Pear
Pears have the effects of clearing heat, generating body fluids, and moisturizing the lungs. People with sore throat and excessive internal heat like to boil pears and drink the water. Pears have a relatively low sugar content, so diabetics can eat pears without worrying about causing a rise in blood sugar.
Important Reminder: It is best to buy and eat fruits in moderation, as each type of fruit has its ideal storage temperature and shelf life. Most fruits are suitable for direct refrigeration without washing, as washing them can lead to spoilage. They should be consumed within a week. Bananas, pineapples, mangoes, papayas, lemons, and other fruits can be stored in a cool corner indoors and should not be refrigerated for a long time.
