After the Autumn Equinox, the weather gradually turns cooler, with a larger temperature difference between morning and evening. The human body becomes susceptible to various diseases, so attention must be paid to aspects such as diet. Experts remind that eating too much of some delicious melons and fruits can damage the spleen and stomach, so one should consume them in moderation.
Watermelon is eaten in the summer to beat the heat, and on particularly hot days, some people might eat several in a single day. However, eating too much after autumn begins can easily lead to symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, which indicates that your gastrointestinal tract has been damaged.
This is because in autumn, people's spleen and stomach are mostly in a weak state. Coupled with the cooling weather, eating too many yin-cold fruits will naturally cause discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract. Experts also mention that in autumn, there are some fruits that can be eaten in appropriate amounts, such as apples, which are rich in various vitamins and potassium, and are not only beneficial for patients with cardiovascular diseases but can also stop diarrhea. Pears moisten the lungs and reduce phlegm to stop coughs. Pineapple promotes urination and is beneficial for patients with nephritis and hypertension. Tangerines and oranges relieve coughs, moisten the lungs, and strengthen the stomach. Grapes replenish qi and blood, and strengthen the stomach while promoting urination.
