Lychee contains many nutrients and is good for health. However, lychee is hot, sweet, and contains a lot of sugar… so some people should limit eating lychee.
1. People with diabetes should not eat a lot of lychee
100g of lychee contains up to 15.2g of sugar, this is a large amount of sugar, if the patient eats a lot, it will cause blood sugar levels to increase, thereby affecting the glucose metabolism process, making the disease worse.
Lychee pulp contains a lot of glucose, eating a lot of lychee causes the amount of sugar entering the blood to exceed the liver’s ability to absorb and metabolize, causing blood sugar to increase rapidly. This is not good for people with diabetes, can cause dizziness, cold sweats, nausea, fever for the patient. Therefore, people with diabetes are advised to limit eating lychee.
Diabetics should not eat a lot of lychee.
2. Children
Children’s digestive systems are still very weak and not yet fully developed. If children eat too much lychee, it will disrupt the sugar metabolism process, causing heat in the body leading to indigestion, prickly heat and possibly high fever. Therefore, they should only eat about 5-6 fruits at a time.
3. People with autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases are a phenomenon in which the immune system is disrupted, attacking healthy cells around it and damaging the body. Lychee contains a lot of vitamin C and strong antioxidants, so for people with autoimmune diseases, eating a lot of lychee will increase the symptoms of diseases such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis.
4. Overweight people
Lychee contains many pectin compounds, fiber helps the body absorb nutrients effectively.
However, the amount of sugar absorbed into the body from lychee is also significantly high, causing the body to accumulate excess fat, while retaining water in the body, making organs prone to edema and overweight.
5. Pregnant women
The diet of women during pregnancy is very important and needs to be carefully considered. With a high sugar content, eating too much can affect the pregnant woman’s body, causing blood sugar to spike, making it difficult to give birth, increasing the risk of bleeding and infection after birth.
Pregnant women are more likely to develop diabetes than normal people.
Pregnant women should limit eating fresh lychee to avoid increased blood sugar.
6. Sensitive people
The bodies of sensitive people are often very sensitive, they are prone to allergies when the weather changes as well as the body will react to foods with strange nutrients.
As mentioned above, lychee has a high sugar content, when absorbed into the body it will ‘heat up’, causing prickly heat, red skin or even leading to diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, dizziness, respiratory failure…
On average, you should only eat about 10 fruits at a time, eating about 3 times a week is enough to provide the necessary nutrients.
7. People with chickenpox
One of the main causes of chickenpox is due to wind heat. Lychee is a fruit that can cause high heat, causing heat in the body, so if the patient eats too much, there is a risk of secondary infection and bad complications.
Besides, with its inherent heat, lychee can upset the body’s balance, causing other symptoms such as mouth ulcers, heat in the body, and acne.
Lychee is a popular fruit, loved by many people in the hot summer. However, we should only consume lychee in reasonable amounts to avoid the harmful effects of this fruit when eating too much.
