Eat persimmons on an empty stomach

We like to eat food when we wake up, but some foods can easily react with our bodies. This reaction is relatively minor in daily life, but over time it will cause damage to the stomach and intestines. So what foods should we pay attention to in our daily life? Persimmon is one of them. Persimmons are rich in tannic acid, which will cause the intestines and stomach to secrete a large amount of gastric acid, affecting our digestive function.

We must remember not to eat bananas and persimmons on an empty stomach when we just wake up. Even though they are a kind of dietary fiber in our daily life, if they are eaten at different times, it can easily lead to a variety of different results. In addition to common dietary combinations, we should also know more about which foods cannot be eaten on an empty stomach.

“Walnuts are in season at the Beginning of Autumn, pears are in season at White Dew, and persimmons turn red at Cold Dew.” Now is the season for picking persimmons. Experts remind that persimmons have high nutritional value and are rich in nutrients such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, protein, carotene, vitamin C, etc. The vitamins and sugars contained in it are about 1-2 times higher than those of ordinary fruits.

Persimmons have the functions of clearing away heat and dryness, moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm, softening hard masses, quenching thirst and promoting salivation, strengthening the spleen, treating dysentery, and stopping bleeding. Persimmons are rich in pectin, which is a water-soluble dietary fiber. It has a good effect on moisturizing the intestines and laxatives. It is very effective in correcting constipation and maintaining the growth of normal intestinal flora. It can also relieve symptoms such as dry cough, sore throat, and high blood pressure.

Delicious persimmons cannot be eaten on an empty stomach

This is because persimmons contain a lot of tannins, and the stomach will secrete a large amount of gastric acid when the stomach is empty. If you eat persimmons at this time, the tannins will precipitate and condense into lumps under the action of a large amount of gastric acid and remain in the stomach, eventually turning into "gastric persimmon stones". This type of lump is not easy to crush and will grow larger and larger, eventually causing congestion, edema, erosion, ulcers of the gastric mucosa, and even gastric perforation.

Avoid eating high-protein foods when eating persimmons.

When eating persimmons, you should avoid eating other high-protein foods, such as fish, shrimp, and crab, because these high-protein foods will form "gastric persimmon stones" under the tannic acid of persimmons and should not be eaten together.

From this article we can know that foods such as persimmons contain some tannic acid, which not only promotes stomach acid, but also can break down the absorption of protein in our body. Therefore, we must remember in our daily life that we must not eat foods containing tannic acid on an empty stomach to avoid affecting our gastrointestinal digestive system and the absorption of food nutrients.
