Although prunes have many health effects, there are also some taboos to pay attention to when eating:
First, gastrointestinal tract
Gastrointestinal function is weaker
Prune is rich in dietary fiber, for people with weak gastrointestinal function, such as the elderly, young children and people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases (such as gastric ulcer, gastritis, enteritis, etc.), excessive consumption of prune may increase the burden on the stomach. Dietary fiber will promote intestinal peristalsis, a large amount of consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms. For example, the digestive function of the stomach and intestines of young children is not fully developed, and eating too much prune may cause indigestion.
Diarrhea patient
Prune itself has a certain laxative effect. If you are in the diarrhea period, eating prune will make the diarrhea symptoms worse, because it will further stimulate the intestinal motility, increase the secretion of water in the intestine, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.
2. Blood sugar
diabetic
Prunes contain a certain amount of fructose. People with diabetes need to strictly control their blood sugar, and excessive consumption of prunes may cause blood sugar to rise. Although the glycemic index (GI) of prunes is relatively low, if the consumption is not controlled, especially in the case of unstable blood sugar control, it can also have a greater impact on blood sugar. In general, people with diabetes can eat prunes in moderation under good blood sugar control, and it is best to monitor blood sugar changes after consumption.
Third, allergies
Allergic person
People who are allergic to prunes should avoid them. Allergic reactions may include symptoms such as itchy skin, rashes, swollen mouth, and difficulty breathing. People with allergies should carefully observe the body's reaction when eating prune for the first time, and stop eating immediately and seek medical attention in time once allergic symptoms appear.
