Recently, it's the season when a large number of Lingnan Jiaguo lychees are on the market. The reporter learned from the hospital that every summer there are patients with 'lychee disease'. It's not uncommon for them to have hypoglycemia or even syncope after eating a large number of lychees.
Doctors remind that litchi is delicious but can't be eaten too much. Excessive eating can cause hypoglycemia. People's friends should pay attention to it.
Litchi's nature is smooth and sweet. It can promote the growth of body fluid and quench thirst
Litchi, a delicious fruit in summer, has always been loved by people for its delicious shape, fragrance, sweetness and juiciness. In the compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, litchi can "quench thirst, benefit people's color, activate spirit, improve intelligence, strengthen Qi (nourish brain and build body), cure scrofula and tumor".
Li Xiangli introduced that traditional Chinese medicine believes that litchi meat has the functions of Tonifying the liver and spleen, promoting the body fluid to quench thirst, replenishing intelligence and brain, and dry products can nourish vital energy for the puerpera and the old and the weak.

Litchi is sweet, slightly bitter and warm. Return to liver and kidney channel. It has the function of promoting Qi, dispelling cold and relieving pain. For cold hernia, abdominal pain, testicular swelling and pain. In addition, it also has the functions of promoting body fluid, curing thirst, regulating qi, relieving pain, benefiting blood and astringency. When eating too much litchi meat, litchi shell can also cure the fire.
Too much litchi can cause hypoglycemia
When litchi comes to the market, many neighbors say that eating too much litchi has the symptoms of "burning up", throat inflammation, dry mouth, swollen gums and so on. There are also reports on the Internet that children have fever, convulsion and coma after eating a lot of litchi.
Litchi is so sweet. Why do you have hypoglycemia when you eat too much? What's the matter?
Li Xiangli explained that both "Shanghuo" and "litchi disease" are caused by fructose in litchi. The sweetness in litchi is provided by a large number of fructose. Fructose must be converted from invertase in liver to glucose in order to be absorbed and utilized by human body.
Therefore, if a large amount of litchi is eaten in a short period of time, a large amount of fructose will gather in the blood vessels, resulting in a state of "in short supply" of invertase, which can not convert fructose into glucose in time. At the same time, fructose can also stimulate the human body to secrete a large amount of insulin, so that the liver can regulate the blood glucose concentration, resulting in the lack of blood glucose supply.

In addition, eating a large amount of litchi, it is easy to feel full, thus reducing the intake of other food, further reducing the supply of glucose, causing hypoglycemia symptoms, even hypoglycemia encephalopathy, nausea, sweating, fatigue, and then causing high fever, convulsion, coma and other symptoms.
Why are children susceptible to disease?
The younger children are more likely to have hypoglycemia if they eat litchi in large quantity and do not eat other foods because of the lack of liver glycogen reserve. (this article is edited and collated by sihai.com, reprinted and noted with source, original link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/)
However, experts also stressed that not everyone has hypoglycemia when eating litchi, but when eating a large number of Litchi on an empty stomach, hypoglycemia may occur, seriously even life-threatening.
How to eat litchi is safe?
Litchi should not be eaten on an empty stomach
Li Xiangli said: litchi can be eaten by the general population, suitable for parturient, the elderly, the weak constitution, after the illness, the anaemia and the stomach cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with Yang deficiency constitution and blood deficiency constitution are suitable. This kind of people are often pale, pale, warm and afraid of cold. Their hands and feet are cold, their waist and knees are sour and soft. Women have less menstruation, light color and loose stools. It's good for people like this to eat some lychees in summer.
Li Xiangli reminded that people with an empty stomach, especially children with an empty stomach, should not eat litchi. At the same time, it is suggested to eat less litchi for the people with Yin deficiency and hot and humid constitution. This kind of patients often have red face, red eyes, dry mouth and bitter mouth, five hearts are irritated and hot, and are prone to acne, sore boils, red tongue, less moss or yellow thick greasy moss. It is useless to eat more. '

1. Generally, we suggest that adults should not exceed 300 grams of lychees per day, and children should not exceed 5 lychees at a time;
2. It is better to take it within half an hour after meals;
3. It is suggested to remove the shell and core of litchi, immerse litchi meat in light salt water, and then take it out for eating, or immerse litchi peel in salt water, and then put it in the refrigerator for eating, which is not only refreshing, but also not easy to catch fire;
4. When eating litchi on fire, you can drink a little mung bean soup water to relieve fire and detoxify.
