"There are three hundred litchi in the sun, and they are not resigned as Lingnan people." Su Shi's poem "Eat Litchi" not only expresses his love for litchi, but also speaks of many people's voice when tastes litchi. In summer, the sweet and thirsty litchi is very enjoyable, but few people know that its shell and nucleus are also treasures in the eyes of Chinese medicine people.

Litchi is a nutritious summer fruit. In addition to moisture, its flesh mainly contains fructose, glucose, protein, citric acid and vitamin C.

Wang Chenxiao reminded that although lychee is all treasures, they must be controlled when eating. As the proverb says, "a litchi and three fires", eating is more easily hot and humid and stagnant. If you eat a large amount in an empty stomach, it is prone to symptoms such as hypoglycemia and dizziness, which is the "litchi disease" often mentioned.

Try to choose mature lychee and eat between two meals. Patients with diabetes, acute inflammation, and fever colds are not recommended.

In addition, litchi is best not to eat with cucumber, carrots, and pumpkins, because the vitamin C enzymes in these foods will destroy vitamin C in lychee and reduce its nutritional value; lychee is not suitable to be eaten with milk, because in litchi in lychee Fruit acid will condense into pieces when encountering protein, affecting the digestion and absorption of the human body for milk; lychee is hot, it is not recommended to eat with hot fruits, such as longan, durian, jackfruit, etc.

How to eat to better play the effect of lychee? Wang Chenxiao shared two dietary recipes about litchi:

5 lychee takes the flesh, and 50g of rice can be eaten.

Take 5 lychee dried, 5g of Huai yam, 9g of lotus seeds, and then add 10 jujube, decoction or porridge, can warm the sun, strengthen the spleen, and stop diarrhea. diarrhea. (Liang Lulu Zhang Xinyue)
