When it comes to goji berries, people generally think of their benefits, knowing that this is a food that is beneficial to human health. Indeed, goji berries have many functions, and they can also have a good kidney-tonifying effect. However, nothing is perfect, and excessive consumption of goji berries can cause local discomfort in the body!
Goji berries also have certain drawbacks. If consumed incorrectly or if certain taboos are touched upon, side effects can occur. So, what are the side effects of goji berries?
Excessive consumption causes many problems
Goji berries are suitable for people with weak constitutions and poor resistance. However, during the course of taking them, one must persist for a long time, eating a little every day to see effects. Goji berries contain betaine, amino acids, carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and other components. They are beneficial to human health, but it is important to control the dosage. Excessive consumption of goji berries can cause internal heat, nosebleeds, and even red, swollen, and uncomfortable eyes.
Two types of people should not eat goji berries
First, people with Yin deficiency are prone to getting 'heaty' from eating goji berries.
People with a Yin-deficient constitution in the summer should pay attention to their dosage of goji berries, because the berries are sweet and warm in nature, and excessive consumption can lead to 'internal heat'. This is especially true when eating them raw, and the dosage should be reduced.
Second, do not eat them when you have a cold or a fever.
Although goji berries have very good nourishing and therapeutic effects, they are not suitable for everyone. Because of their strong warming effect on the body, people who are currently suffering from a cold, fever, have inflammation, or have diarrhea should best avoid them. Due to the strong warming effect of goji berries, people with high blood pressure, or those with an irritable temperament, or those who normally consume a large amount of meat and have a flushed face, should also avoid them if they have a cold, fever, inflammation, or diarrhea.
