"Pomegranate" can not just eat? Doctors remind: these 6 types of people usually eat as little as possible, it is recommended to know as soon as possible

1. Patients with dental caries

The taste of pomegranate is sweet and sour, and the inorganic salt and sugar content in pomegranate is not low, so the sugar in it is easy to corrode the teeth after eating it.

Patients with dental caries must stay away from pomegranates, and do not forget to clean their mouths after eating.

2. Constipated people

Are you surprised, is not said that pomegranate helps digestion? It turns out that it is the pomegranate seeds that help digestion, not the pomegranate itself. Pomegranate pulp contains tannin, which has the effect of astringent intestines and stomach, stopping diarrhea, so people who are constipated try to eat less pomegranate, otherwise, it will aggravate.

But you can eat some pomegranate seeds in moderation, such as Tunisian soft-seeded pomegranate, easy to chew, helps digestion, and has a certain effect on constipation.

3. Diabetic patients

For diabetic patients, it is also not recommended to eat too much pomegranate, although pomegranate is rich in nutritional value, and contains vitamin B and flavonoids, which have a certain relief for diabetes.

However, the sugar content of pomegranate is also relatively high, and too much intake can cause blood sugar fluctuations, so it is not recommended for this group of people to use too much at once.

4. People who have a cold

In many people's opinion, cold is a very normal situation, not serious, so even if there is a cold situation in daily life, it does not particularly care.

People who take cold medicine are not recommended to eat too much pomegranate because the nutrients in pomegranate are relatively very rich and very complex. So it is easy to affect the effect of the medicine, so I hope you can pay special attention.

5. Stone patients should eat less

Pomegranate contains tannic acid substances, which can easily react with the calcium in the body and form crystals that can be stored in the body in the form of kidney stones and gallstones, aggravating the condition.

6. Pregnant mothers

The reason why it is not recommended for pregnant women to eat a pomegranate is that pomegranate is warm food, it is easy to get fire when you eat too much of it, and it is easy to oxidize and blacken your teeth when you eat too much of it.

Extension: How to choose a pomegranate?

Pomegranate

1. Look at whether the pomegranate skin is full or not, the fuller the fresher.

2. Look at the shape, the square pomegranate is better than the round one.

3. Look at the luster, the skin is smooth to shiny, which means the pomegranate is fresh, while the black spot on the surface means it is not fresh. Of course, a little black dot does not affect the quality of the pomegranate.

4. Look for scratches, intact pomegranate without wounds, better with branches, hanging in a ventilated and dry place, and can be placed for a long time.
