      Four taboos on eating persimmons:

      Taboo 1: Eating persimmons on an empty stomach

      Because persimmons contain a lot of tannic acid and pectin, they will form hard lumps of varying sizes under the action of gastric acid on an empty stomach. If these hard lumps cannot reach the small intestine through the pylorus, they will stay in the stomach and form gastric persimmon stones. Small gastric persimmon stones are initially like apricot stones, but they will accumulate and become larger.

      If the gastric persimmon stones cannot be discharged naturally, it will cause gastrointestinal obstruction, causing symptoms such as severe pain in the upper abdomen, vomiting, and even vomiting of blood. Gastric persimmon stones as big as a fist have been found during surgery. If the stomach has a "bottom", the formation of gastric persimmon stones can be avoided.

      Persimmons should be eaten after meals when stomach acid is low.

      Taboo 2: Don’t eat persimmon skin

      Some people feel that eating persimmons while chewing the skin is more delicious than eating persimmons alone. In fact, this way of eating is unscientific.

      Because most of the tannic acid in persimmons is concentrated in the skin, it is impossible to remove all the tannic acid in the persimmons when they are deastringent. If the persimmons are eaten with the skin, it is more likely to form gastric persimmon stones. Especially when the astringent removal process is not perfect, the skin contains more tannic acid.

      Taboo 3: Taboo on eating the same food

      Do not eat it with high-protein foods such as crab, fish, shrimp, etc.

      In traditional Chinese medicine, crabs and persimmons are both cold foods, so they cannot be eaten together.

      From the perspective of modern medicine, crabs, fish, and shrimps containing high protein can easily solidify into blocks under the action of tannic acid, which is stomach persimmon stone. Therefore, persimmons cannot be eaten with sweet potatoes and spinach.

      After eating persimmons, it is not advisable to eat high-acid foods such as hawthorn.

      Taboo 4: Four types of people should not eat more persimmons

      Persimmons contain tannins, which easily combine with iron, thereby hindering the body's absorption of iron in food, so anemia Patients should eat less.

      People with diabetes should not eat persimmons because they contain 10.8% of sugars, most of which are simple disaccharides and monosaccharides (such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose). Therefore, they are easily absorbed after eating, causing blood sugar to rise. For people with diabetes, especially those with poor blood sugar control, it is even more harmful.

      People suffering from chronic gastritis, delayed emptying, indigestion and other low gastric motility functions should not eat persimmons after subtotal gastrectomy.

      In addition, pregnant women and those with weak constitution are also taboo.
