Litchi is a good fruit in Lingnan. It tastes sweet and sour. It's a summer fruit that many people like. Litchi is a delicious fruit that many people like very much, but if you eat too much litchi, it's easy to catch fire, so you must pay attention to it. Then how can litchi not catch fire?
1. Eating more is easy to catch fire
If you eat too much litchi, you will catch fire. This is because litchi is warm, and hot food can easily lead to fire. Therefore, in order to avoid the fire, if adults eat litchi every day, try not to exceed 300 grams, if children, do not eat more than 5 at a time. In addition, it should be noted that eating more litchi may also lead to litchi disease. Therefore, it is suggested to eat litchi in proper amount.
2. Not suitable for eating on an empty stomach
Besides proper consumption, litchi should not be eaten on an empty stomach. This is because we usually eat fresh litchi, and fresh litchi has a high sugar content. If we eat it on an empty stomach, it will stimulate the gastric mucosa, resulting in stomach pain and stomach distention. In addition, if eating litchi on an empty stomach, it may cause hypertonic coma due to the sudden intake of excessive high sugar in the body. So it's best not to eat lychees on an empty stomach.
3. Take care of diabetes
Litchi is rich in nutrition and tastes delicious. It is edible for ordinary people. But there is a group of people who need to eat litchi carefully. This kind of people are diabetic patients. The reason is that the sugar content of litchi is very high. If diabetes patients eat it at will, it may aggravate the disease and affect the recovery of the disease. Therefore, diabetic patients need to eat litchi carefully. In addition, people who have symptoms of burning or yin deficiency and fire are not allowed to eat lychees, or the symptoms of burning are easily aggravated.
How can't litchi be eaten?
1. Before dawn, when the dew is still there, you can eat the litchi just plucked from the tree on the spot and it will not catch fire. This is the so-called "dew red litchi will not catch fire". It is said that at this time, litchi absorbs the sunshine of a day, and after a cool night, its heat has been reduced. It is in the best state of fragrance, sweetness, freshness and crispness. It is not only tasty, but also can not be consumed.
2. The fresh litchi picked can also be stored in containers, sunk into water wells or placed in cold spring water, and eaten overnight to prevent fire.
3. Before eating litchi drink some salt water, Prunella herbal tea, or winter melon soup, mung bean soup, and so on, also has the role of fire prevention.
4. Eat salted fish, steamed salted fish to eat, or soup, porridge, can prevent eating litchi on fire.
5. Eat the litchi on the crown of the east side of the litchi tree, the fire will be relatively small. Litchi is a long sunshine fruit tree. It likes the sunshine in the West. The fruit begins to mature in the West. Therefore, the litchi on the West crown is particularly sweet, but it is also easier to catch fire, while the litchi on the East crown is just the opposite, which can reduce dryness.
6. When eating litchi, peel off a thin layer of white film after the shell, and eat with the meat can also prevent fire.
7. After eating litchi, you can also eat some of the white pedicels which are sunken into the flesh of litchi. In this way, you can even eat 2-3 pieces to prevent fire.
