Nowadays, with the improvement of living standards, people are paying more and more attention to physical health, but for people over 45 years old, how to maintain health and prevent diseases has become a major problem for them. We all know that fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber, which are very beneficial to human health, but for some people, some fruits are harmful. Here are 2 fruits that need special attention:
Persimmon is a very tasty fruit that is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B1 and minerals, but it is not suitable for people over 45 years old.
Persimmon contains tannic acid, which combines with protein to form an indigestible substance, which can easily lead to indigestion and even induce gastric persimmon stones for middle-aged and elderly people with deterioration of digestive system function. In addition, persimmons also contain a lot of sugar, and excessive consumption may lead to obesity and blood sugar fluctuations, which is also very unfavorable for middle-aged and elderly people.
Star fruit is a nutritious fruit that contains ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin B1 and fiber, but it is also a fruit that requires special attention for people over the age of 45.
Star fruit contains oxalate, and if eaten in excess, oxalate will combine with calcium to form calcium oxalate, which is not easily digestible, which is easy to cause kidney stones for middle-aged and elderly people with deterioration of kidney function.
In addition, star fruit also contains a neurotoxin, excessive consumption may cause poisoning, especially for high blood pressure and renal insufficiency of middle-aged and elderly people, more attention should be paid not to excessive consumption of star fruit.
So, how can you avoid the adverse effects of these two fruits on your health? Here are some suggestions:
1.Control your consumption: Although persimmons and star fruit are rich in nutrients, excessive consumption can still cause adverse effects on your health. Therefore, it is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people eat in moderation every day, and it is generally advisable to consume no more than 1 persimmon or 2 star fruit per day.
2.Do not eat on an empty stomach: Persimmons and star fruit contain tannic acid, which can stimulate gastric acid secretion and aggravate gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, it is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people do not consume these two fruits on an empty stomach, and can eat them in moderation after meals.
3.Choose ripe fruits: Both persimmons and star fruit need to be ripe before they can be eaten, and ripe fruits have a lower tannin content and are safer to eat. Therefore, when middle-aged and elderly people buy, they should choose ripe fruits and avoid buying unripe fruits.
4.Serve with other foods: Both persimmons and star fruit contain tannic acid, which can form an indigestible substance if eaten with protein-rich foods. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people can eat persimmons and star fruit together with other foods, such as vegetables, fruits, rice, etc., to reduce the irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.
