What harm is there in eating watermelon? What are the harms of eating too much watermelon?

As long as it is fresh, any watermelon can be eaten, it is conducive to water urination, but people who are weak and cold should not eat more, and diabetics should be more cautious. If you are a healthy person, it doesn't matter if you eat more, except that your stomach hurts, and there is nothing to eat if you have frozen watermelon, so don't eat more.

Watermelon, also known as cold melon, is the most juice-rich of all fruits and is known as the king of summer melons and fruits. Because it was introduced from the West, it is called watermelon.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland, watermelon has a sweet taste and cold nature, and has the functions of clearing heat and relieving heat, quenching thirst, and diuretic. For patients with "bitter summer syndrome" who can't eat in the scorching heat of midsummer and are emaciated, eating more watermelon has the effect of appetizing digestion, promoting metabolism and nourishing the body.

Modern medical research has shown that watermelon contains a variety of nutrients and beneficial substances required by the human body, such as a large amount of sucrose, fructose, glucose, rich in vitamin C, organic acids, amino acids, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.

The medicinal properties of watermelon are discussed in medical classics such as the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and Li Shizhen said that it has many effects such as "eliminating annoyance and quenching thirst, widening the middle and lowering the qi, benefiting small water, and detoxifying alcohol".

Watermelon can be described as a treasure in the whole body, not only melon pulp is the best fruit for heatstroke prevention and cooling, even the peel can also be used as medicine, and the diuretic effect of the peel is more significant than that of melon. In addition, watermelon seeds are also quite medicinous, with the effect of clearing the lungs and moistening the intestines, and quenching thirst.

Although watermelon tastes good, it should not be eaten too much. Because watermelon is a cold fruit, eating too much is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, causing abdominal pain or diarrhea, especially if you eat spoiled watermelon, it is more likely to be infected with enteritis and other diseases. High sugar content, eating too much can easily cause diabetes.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if you eat too much watermelon, you will get angry, but if you eat the watermelon you bought back for more than three days, it will be on fire.

1.Although watermelon is good, it is a cold product and should not be eaten more.

Tips: If people with weak body and stomach are gluttonous, it will lead to bloating, diarrhea, decreased appetite, and cold and dampness; The large amount of water contained in watermelon can also dilute gastric juices, causing indigestion and decreased gastrointestinal resistance. It is easy to cause abdominal pain and diarrhea; It should not also be eaten with greasy things; If watermelon is eaten with warm food or drink, the cold and heat will not be reconciled, and it is easy to make people vomit.

2.Although watermelon is detoxifying and beautiful, it is a fruit with a high sugar content and is easily converted into fat.

Tips: You can eat less sugary parts in the middle of watermelon, and choose red and white watermelon peels to eat; Moreover, it is not advisable to eat watermelon after nine o'clock in the evening, because it is easy to grow a small abdomen and a small belly; In summer, you can even use watermelon peel to cook, such as cold watermelon rind: take a slightly red melon rind, remove the outermost hard skin, cut it into small pieces, and then add sugar, salt, and various condiments according to your taste, which is not only refreshing, but also beautiful and **.

3.You can't eat watermelon in the early stages of a cold.

Tips: Whether it is a cold or a cold, it is a symptom in the early stage, and the divergence method of making the disease and evil from the surface should be used. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that whether it is a wind-cold cold or a wind-heat cold, eating watermelon in the early stage of a cold is equivalent to taking a medicine to clear internal heat, which will attract evil spirits into the body, aggravate the cold or prolong the course of the disease; However, when the cold is aggravated, and there is high fever, thirst, sore throat, yellow urine and other internal fever, eating some watermelon appropriately can help to heal while taking normal medicine.

4.You can't eat watermelon that has been opened for too long.

In summer, when the temperature is high, bacteria can multiply, and if you eat watermelon that has been opened for too long and has been contaminated with germs, it will lead to gastrointestinal infections. Therefore, when eating watermelon, you should pay attention to choosing ripe fresh watermelon.

5.People with renal insufficiency should not eat.

Tips: Eat a large amount of watermelon in a short period of time, so that the water in the body increases, exceeding the physiological capacity of the human body. In patients with renal insufficiency, the kidney's ability to regulate water is greatly reduced, and the excess water entering the body cannot be regulated and excreted, resulting in a sharp increase in blood volume and easy to die due to acute heart failure.

Yes, it is easy to cause acute diarrhea, especially if you eat too much refrigerated watermelon, it is also prone to acute gastritis.

Everything must be done in moderation, and eating too much watermelon is just as harmful to the body. Drinking too much water can also kill people.

I once saw a report that in a prison, someone was often forced to drink a lot of water, and his body that was once very good died after a year.

If you eat too much, you will panic and be prone to diarrhea.
