Of course, would you still enjoy these foods if they had no chili peppers? But in life, not everyone can eat spicy food. For example, the following seven types of people.
First, patients with hemorrhoids.
It is not uncommon for friends to suffer from hemorrhoids in life. Friends with hemorrhoids must be careful. Although chili peppers are rich in vitamin C, people with hemorrhoids are prone to hemorrhoid vein congestion and edema after eating them, which further aggravates the hemorrhoids and can lead to perianal abscesses. In addition, chili peppers can also aggravate constipation, making hemorrhoids worse.
Second, those taking traditional Chinese medicine.
Studies have found that capsaicin can destroy the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, while taking traditional Chinese medicine, one should avoid spicy food. Patients taking traditional Chinese medicine should have a light diet, not eat chili peppers or any foods with irritating ingredients, and should eat more foods rich in crude fiber. They should avoid strongly irritating foods such as chili peppers, radishes, and onions, otherwise it will be unfavorable for the relief of the condition.
Third, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Capsaicin can intensify blood circulation, speed up the heartbeat, and cause tachycardia. A large intake in a short period can lead to acute heart failure or even sudden death.
Fourth, patients with kidney disease.
The capsaicin in spicy food ingredients is excreted through the kidneys, which can damage renal parenchymal cells. In severe cases, it can cause changes in kidney function and even lead to renal failure.
Fifth, pregnant and postpartum women.
This group of people may experience symptoms of "internal heat" such as mouth sores and dry stools after eating spicy food. It can also cause the breastfed infant to become ill.
Six, patients with hyperthyroidism.
Because patients already have a fast heart rate, eating spicy food will make the heart beat faster, aggravating the condition.
Seven, patients with conjunctivitis and keratitis.
Hot seasonings like chili peppers can cause the blood vessels in the eyes to dilate and become congested, reducing the eye's resistance and making one more susceptible to conjunctivitis. Therefore, patients with symptoms such as conjunctivitis and keratitis should strictly avoid chili peppers during the onset of the disease. Because eating spicy food can easily cause "internal heat," thus aggravating the condition.
