Is there any harm in eating too much mango?

Although mango is a delicious and nutritious fruit, even the best things can become harmful if eaten too much. If you eat too many mangoes, it may cause dermatitis or gastrointestinal problems. It may also cause throat discomfort and aggravate skin diseases.

1. Cause dermatitis. Eating too much mango may cause dermatitis. Mango leaves or juice may cause dermatitis in people with allergies, so caution should be exercised.

2. Cause gastrointestinal problems. Traditional Chinese medicine says that people with qi deficiency and spleen deficiency should not eat too many mangoes, because mangoes are cold food. Eating them will reduce gastrointestinal motility. Eating too much will cause indigestion and abdominal bloating. Therefore, people with poor gastrointestinal function should also pay attention to eating less mangoes.

3. Cause throat problems. Generally, throat problems occur when eating unripe mangoes, because unripe mangoes secrete certain substances that irritate the throat and may cause hoarseness.

4. Easy to get full. Mango is rich in protein and is one of the few protein-rich fruits, so eating too much mango will easily make you feel full.

5. Aggravate skin diseases, gynecological diseases, internal medicine diseases, etc. "Dampness" is one of the six causes of disease in traditional Chinese medicine. Skin diseases such as eczema and pus-filled sores, gynecological diseases such as abnormal leucorrhea, and internal medical diseases such as edema and athlete's foot can all be described as "dampness". People with damp constitutions who eat damp and toxic foods such as mangoes may make the situation worse. On the contrary, some people, especially female friends, worry that eating mangoes will increase acne, but this idea is an unnecessary worry.
