Can I eat persimmons on an empty stomach? Precautions and taboos for the elderly to eat persimmons

Do you like to eat persimmons in autumn and winter? Can you eat persimmons on an empty stomach? The elderly can eat persimmons with high nutritional value. They contain about 1-2 times more vitamins and sugar than ordinary fruits, but do not eat more. The average person can eat three to five a day, and the elderly suggest one to two.

Persimmon cake is suitable for people with dry stool, hypertension, thyroid disease and long-term drinking.

It is not suitable for the patients with diabetes, diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, loose stools, weak and sickly body, postpartum and exogenous cold to avoid eating; the patients with chronic gastritis, delayed emptying, dyspepsia and other low gastric motility, and the patients after subtotal gastrectomy.

Don't eat persimmon on an empty stomach. Because persimmon contains more tannin and pectin, if you eat them on an empty stomach, they will form hard blocks of different sizes under the action of gastric acid. If these hard blocks can't reach the small intestine through the pylorus, they will stay in the stomach to form stomach persimmon stones. Small stomach persimmon stones are like apricot kernels at first, but they will accumulate more and more. If the stomach persimmon stone can not be naturally discharged, it will cause digestive tract obstruction, severe upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and even hematemesis and other symptoms. It has been found in surgery that the stomach persimmon stone is as big as a fist.

Don't eat more persimmons. Tannins in persimmons can form compounds with minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and iron in food that can't be absorbed by human body, so that these nutrients can't be used. Therefore, eating more persimmons can easily lead to the lack of these minerals. And because it contains more sugar, people eat persimmon cakes more satiety than eating the same number of apples and pears, which will affect appetite and reduce the intake of dinner.

Special reminder:

1. Eat persimmon cake on an empty stomach or avoid drinking white wine or hot soup after eating persimmon to prevent stomach persimmon stone disease;

2. Persimmon contains tannin, which is easy to combine with iron, thus hindering the absorption of iron in food, so anemia patients should eat less;

3. Don't eat persimmons on an empty stomach. Persimmons should be eaten after meals;

4. Do not drink milk for 1 hour before and after eating persimmon.
