As soon as the lychee season arrives, friends in Lingnan are full.

But when everyone was special about lychee, when she was envious of Yang Guifei, the circle of friends, "Litchi will be terrible if you eat too much litchi!"

Also here ...

Is there really danger to life when eating too much lychee? How to eat lychee to be healthy?

Xu Jinhua, the Department of Endocrinology, Zhuhai Hospital of Guangdong Province, came to talk to everyone.

"Litchi disease", what is it?

The so -called "litchi disease", also known as "litchi poisoning". It refers to dizziness, fatigue, sweating, cold limb, abdominal pain and other hypoglycemia after eating a lot of lychee. Severe coma, convulsions, and even death may occur. Most of the people are children, mostly in the morning. The onset and degree of immature lychee intake, other carbohydrate food intake (less intake, the more serious the less intake), and age.

Litchi is obviously sweet, why do you eat hypoglycemia? Some people say that it is because of the problem of fructose. is that so? Director Xu introduced that litchi contains very few sucrose, and sweetness is contributed by fructose and glucose. Some research shows that the fructose and glucose of lychee are basically one -to -one, not the legendary "many fructose". Its fructose content Not more than bananas and grapes.

So, what causes eating lychee to eat "hypoglycemia"? The culprit is lychee contains two "hypoglysine toxins" -a-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Acetraine A.

Under normal circumstances, if you do n’t eat for a long time, the human body will first break down the sugar yuan in the liver and muscles to ensure the normal blood glucose. The sugar yuan is almost used to break down the protein and generate the glucose needed by the body through the glycogenic channel.

However, these two toxins in lychee will not only reduce blood glucose, but also block the channels of glycogen, and affect the process of fat oxidation. The path of using fat to supply energy to the body is also hindered. "".

When the blood sugar is low and cannot use other substances to provide energy, people will feel dizzy and fatigue and sweating. In severe cases, coma and convulsions will appear. For a long time of hypoglycemia and cannot be treated in time, it may be life -threatening.

Litchi leads to hypoglycemia,

Can it be used to control sugar?

Seeing this, is anyone happy: Then I can eat lychee to reduce blood sugar?

Unfortunately, this is not realistic.

The human body has a complete neural-endocrine blood glucose regulation mechanism to ensure that blood sugar fluctuates in a narrow range. The regulating mechanism of diabetic people is damaged. The blood glucose itself is worse than normal people. It is prone to hyperglycemia, and it is easier to hypoglycemia than normal people. When hypoglycemia, the body's "self -rescue" ability is also poor.

Hypoglycemia of diabetic people is often the cause of acute myocardial infarction and brain stroke. If you eat a large amount of lychee to induce hypoglycemia, the danger is much larger than the average person.

Eat less? Litchi's sugar lift index is 70, and the sugar content is more than 16%, which is not friendly to people with diabetes.

Moreover, the ingredients are not conducive to fat decomposition, and friends who want to lose weight should not eat more.

Why does eating litchi "get angry"?

There are also many friends who feel that eating too much litchi will have dry mouth, and even symptoms such as sore throat, acne agrance, urgency and pain and other symptoms. Why is this again?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that litchi is warm, sweet and sour, belongs to the liver, and spleen. It has the effect of nourishing blood and spleen. The lychee nucleus of medicine has the effects of qi dispersal, cold and pain. After air -drying, litchi meat can be used for post -disease physique, thirst, thirst, hiccups, and less food. However, if you eat, you are tired and stagnant, and you can use it with caution.

Litchi listing is the season when the summer solstice is high and rainy, and it is also the season when the wet and hot gas prevails. At this time, it is susceptible to fever such as sore throat and dysuria. If you add improper diet, foods such as lychee with temperature are more likely to "get angry".

Eating too much lychee and taking too much sugar, high -sugar food can make the oral environment in high seepage, so it will feel dry mouth.

The local high sugar environment is also a good environment for bacterial breeding, which is prone to gingivitis and pharyngitis; excessive sugar is expelled with urine and rises, which can easily induce urinary tract infection and emergencies and urine and pain. Symptoms; high sugar load diet also aggravate acne symptoms.

These "fire" performances also appear on too much high sugar food intake. Therefore, drinking more water in daily life, fruits, juice, and beverages cannot be replaced.

How to eat litchi to be healthy?

So, how to eat litchi?

It's very simple. Don't delay eating litchi. Ordinary people eat up to 8 to 10 capsules at a time. Don't eat too much. Remember to drink more water. Diabetic patients can eat 2-3 capsules at a time on the premise that blood glucose control and total heat control (equivalent to 25g staple food) at a time.

Children do not know how to control the amount of food. They are easy -to -occur if they are "litchi disease". Therefore, children should take care of lychee and eat normally in a timely manner.

In addition, the content of low blood sugar toxins in immature lychee is high, and it should be avoided to eat unfamiliar lychee.
