The concubine of the world of mortals laughs. No one knows it's litchi. As the favorite of Yang Guifei in ancient times, litchi had to be eaten with material and human resources because it was very difficult to preserve. In modern times, litchi has become a common fruit of machines, but litchi must not be eaten on an empty stomach. Do you know why?
Why can't litchi be eaten on an empty stomach?
Fresh litchi has a high sugar content. Eating it on an empty stomach will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause stomach pain and distention. In addition, if you eat too much on an empty stomach, you will suddenly add too much high sugar to your body, resulting in a 'hypertonic coma'.
How much litchi is suitable for a day?
Eating litchi in large quantity and rarely, it is easy to cause sudden hypoglycemia, dizziness, thirst, nausea, sweating, stomachache, palpitation and other phenomena. In serious cases, coma, convulsion, arrhythmia and so on will occur. These symptoms are sudden hypoglycemia after a large number of eating litchi. They are called "litchi acute poisoning" or "litchi disease" in medicine. Because most of the monosaccharides in litchi are fructose, fructose can only be converted into glucose or glycogen for storage by a series of enzyme catalysis after being absorbed by the body, and then be oxidized and utilized by tissue cells. If too much litchi is eaten at one time, the blood sugar content will be much lower than normal, which will cause hypoglycemia. Therefore, litchi disease is an acute disease caused by hypoglycemia, which is manifested as early morning onset, often with sweating, limb cold, fatigue, diarrhea and other early symptoms, followed by sudden convulsions and coma. If there are symptoms of burning, you can eat some cold watermelon to relieve the fever.
No more than 10 litchi should be eaten at a time. If you eat more litchi, your liver will rise, your throat will dry and your tongue will be dry. If you eat more litchi, you will suffer from nausea, limb weakness, dizziness, etc. Especially for children, eat 3-4 capsules, and eat more easily.

These symptoms are sudden hypoglycemia after eating a lot of lychees, which is called "lychee acute poisoning" in medicine, also known as "lychee disease" '.
