In the clinical work, many patients expressed confusion about not allowing more fruits (including drinks). Because the current “scientific” propaganda is strongly advocating people to eat more fruits, claiming to supplement vitamins, increase dietary fiber, promote intestinal peristalsis, health, beauty, weight loss, etc., and so on, as if fruits can become our energy source, as if as long as there are fruits, people can live a healthy life, can beauty, can lose weight, can prolong life. Can lose weight, can prolong life. Is this true? In fact, our ancestors had a definite opinion about fruits more than 2000 years ago. That is to say, as Chinese people, should be the main food grain, as it is the seed, rich in the nutrients and energy needed for the gestation of life, only with grain as the main source of energy, in order to be good for our body. The rest of the fruits, meats, and vegetables can only be used as a supplement to the grain, and this priority should not be reversed. Is this ancient view still true today? Let’s take a look at the actual example: In China, especially in the Loess Plateau region, water is scarce and it is very difficult to eat water, even the most basic grain harvest depends on the sky, if the wind and rain are favorable, we can still harvest more grain; if the weather is dry and rain is low, human needs have to be controlled, there is water to water the crops. Planting vegetables, planting fruit it? But even so, people living there for generations, although fruit and vegetable intake is very little, but the resulting vitamin deficiency is not uncommon. As for dry, aging skin, which is somewhat related to the intensity of UV rays, it cannot be attributed entirely to low vitamin intake. And the current WHO requirements for human nutrition intake is also based on food (60% of the total body calories), which also shows that fruit should not be eaten in excess. So what are the harmful effects of eating more fruit? From the perspective of modern medicine, fruit contains a lot of fructose, which the body can not directly use, but only in the body into triglycerides, as a component of blood lipids for the body to use. Therefore, too much intake of fruit can lead to a rise in triglyceride levels in the body, many vegetarians who eat too much fruit suffer from hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, obesity, and then further coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease is just a consequence of the water. About this conclusion, the current foreign scientists have been recognized, interested friends can look for the late August of this year, “Reference News”. From the aspect of Chinese medicine, all sweet food, too much intake, can hurt the spleen, the spleen and stomach for the day after the foundation, all the nutrients need the normal function of the spleen and stomach to be absorbed by the body, if the spleen and stomach problems, you eat more nutrition will not be absorbed. The spleen is the master of dampness, the spleen and stomach damage, resulting in the production of dampness, dampness flows with the qi. In the skin, on the upper part, you can develop folliculitis, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, hair loss; on the trunk and limbs, you can develop eczema, hives, and allergies (such as allergy to light, allergy to chemicals, etc.). In particular, the diseases of the hands and feet, mouth and lips, Chinese medicine believes that related to the spleen and stomach, from the clinical point of view, and most of the dampness, the cause of the current excessive intake of fruit is the main factor that can not be avoided. Obese people, also should not eat more fruit, because in the case of usually can eat 2 two staple food, can eat in more than half a pound of fruit, modern nutrition speaks of heat card will be too much, can not consume the heat card will be converted into fat storage and lead to obesity; Chinese medicine believes that fat people more phlegm, and phlegm mainly by the transformation of damp evil over. So whether from the West or from the East theory, want to lose weight, you can not eat more fruit. As for the diseases of internal medicine and other systems, we won’t discuss them here. In short, for the health of the body, for beauty, for slim, for less skin disease, do not eat too much fruit ah!
