Remember! 5 types of people should not eat peaches
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, peaches are believed to replenish qi, nourish yin to promote fluid production, and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation. They are particularly suitable for individuals with qi and blood deficiency, sallow complexion and emaciation, palpitations and shortness of breath, constipation, amenorrhea, and bruising/swelling pain. Regular consumption of peaches can strengthen the body and promote longevity. However, the following groups should eat peaches sparingly or not at all.
Pregnant women: Excessive consumption of raw peaches can generate heat, potentially leading to acute miscarriage or bleeding.
Infants and young children: Their digestive systems are not fully developed and cannot digest the large molecules in peaches, which can easily trigger allergic reactions.
Individuals with a tendency towards internal heat or who are prone to sores and boils: Peaches are sweet and warm in nature; overconsumption can generate heat. For those who already have "heatiness" (a state of excess internal heat), eating more peaches is like "adding fuel to the fire." Li Shizhen once said: "Eating too many raw peaches can cause bloating and sores, which is more harmful than beneficial."
People who are chronically ill or have very weak constitutions, as well as those with weak digestive function: Because peaches contain a large amount of large molecules, eating them increases the burden on their digestive system, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea, so they are not suitable for consumption.
Diabetics: Peaches are high in sugar, with 7 grams of sugar per 100 grams. If diabetics consume them without restraint, it can damage pancreatic function, causing a rapid rise in blood sugar and urine sugar, and worsening their condition.
