Introduction: Nuts are rich in nutrients and have a crunchy texture, making them one of the best snacks recommended by nutritionists. However, nuts are not suitable for consumption in all situations.
Firstly, nuts are high in calories and fat content. If you have already consumed a substantial amount of food, especially meat, it is best to avoid eating nuts to prevent excessive fat intake. Even if you haven't eaten other foods, avoid consuming too many nuts at once; it's recommended to eat no more than a small handful per day. Additionally, because nuts are quite greasy, they can increase the burden on the digestive system. Therefore, it is advisable not to eat nuts within one hour before bedtime.
Secondly, the rich dietary fiber and oils in nuts can have a laxative effect. People with symptoms of diarrhea or acute gastrointestinal infections should temporarily avoid eating nuts, as it can worsen the diarrhea symptoms.
Finally, nuts are considered warming and nourishing in nature, and can have a tonic effect on individuals with a cold or deficient constitution. However, nuts are often prepared by baking or stir-frying and may have large amounts of salt and other seasonings added. This can easily cause dryness in the mouth and throat. Therefore, when experiencing symptoms of "heatiness" such as mouth ulcers, it is not advisable to eat too many nuts to avoid worsening these symptoms.
