Taboos on eating hawthorn

Taboos on eating hawthorn

1. Pregnant women, children, people with excessive gastric acid secretion, people who are weak after illness, and people with dental diseases should not eat it.

2. Hawthorn only has digestive effects and does not replenish the body, so people with weak spleen and stomach should not eat too much.

3. Healthy people should not eat hawthorn in excess. If children eat hawthorn for a long time when their teeth are developing, it will be harmful to their dental health. They need to rinse their mouths and brush their teeth in time after eating hawthorn to prevent damage to their teeth.

4. Hawthorn slices and fruit leather contain a lot of sugar, so they are not recommended for diabetics.

5. Pregnant women with morning sickness should never eat hawthorn. When pregnant women first become pregnant, they will inevitably experience reactions such as vomiting and like to eat sour things, but they should avoid eating hawthorn at this time, because hawthorn will break up blood and disperse blood stasis, thereby stimulating uterine contraction and easily causing miscarriage. Eating it after childbirth can repair the uterus and is edible.

What should not be eaten with hawthorn?

1. Hawthorn cannot be eaten with pork liver. Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C, while pork liver is rich in copper, iron, zinc and other metal trace elements. If they are eaten at the same time, the vitamin C will be oxidized and destroyed, thereby reducing the nutritional value.

2. Hawthorn should not be eaten with fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C-degrading enzymes. Cucumbers, carrots and other fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C-degrading enzymes. Eating them with hawthorn will destroy the vitamin C in the hawthorn and reduce its nutritional value.

3. Hawthorn should not be eaten with seafood. Seafood is rich in calcium, iron, carbon, iodine and other minerals and protein. If eaten with seafood, it will synthesize tannic acid protein with the tannic acid in hawthorn, causing constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms.

4. Hawthorn cannot be eaten together with vitamin K3. Vitamin K3 stops bleeding, while hawthorn promotes blood circulation. The two are in conflict.

Precautions for eating hawthorn

Hawthorn cannot be eaten on an empty stomach, because hawthorn contains a large amount of organic acid, hawthorn acid, fruit acid, citric acid, etc. If hawthorn is eaten on an empty stomach, it will cause a sharp increase in stomach acid, irritate the gastric mucosa, and cause stomach bloating and heartburn. The tannic acid contained in raw hawthorn can easily combine with stomach acid to form gastric stones, which are difficult to digest. If gastric stones cannot be digested for a long time, they will lead to gastric ulcers, gastric bleeding and even gastric perforation. Therefore, you should try to eat less raw hawthorn, and people with weak gastrointestinal function should eat it with caution. Doctors suggest that hawthorn is best cooked before eating.

In addition, there are a large number of dyed hawthorns on the market, and consumers need to be careful when purchasing. It is best to choose regular brands to avoid quality problems.
