Although there are many benefits of eating persimmon, but there are a few
points that we must be aware of:
1. Persimmons Cannot Be Eaten On An Empty Stomach.
Contains more tannin and pectin, in an empty stomach under the effect of
gastric acid, lumps of various sizes will formed, if these lumps can not reach
the pyloric intestine, it will remain in the stomach to form gastric persimmon
stone. The stone original is as small as apricots and persimmon seeds nu, but
will tend to get larger if naturally expelled from the stomach, it will cause
diospyrobezoar the digestive tract obstruction, resulting in upper abdominal
pain, vomiting, and even vomiting blood and other symptoms. During surgery,
persimmon stone as big as a fist was found in the stomach. If the's food in the
stomach then the persimmon stone formation in the stomach can be avoided .
2. Persimmon Skin Should Not Be Eaten
Some people feel that eating persimmon fruit together with the skin taste
betten than just eating the flesh by itself. Scientifically this is not
advisable because the vast majority of persimmon tannin in concentrated in the
skin. If eaten toegether with its skin the formation of gastric persimmon stone
is easier, especially when the astringent process is incomplete, as its skin
contains more tannic acid.
3. Do not eat persimmon together with high-protein crabs, fish, shrimp and other foods
In Chinese medicine, crab and persimmon are considered "cold foods",
therefore they cannot be eaten together. From the perspective of
modern medicine, crab, fish and shrimp contains high level of protein and thus
under the effect of the tannic acid, it is easy to solidified into blocks,
namely, stomach persimmon stone.
4. Diabetics Should Not Eat Persimmon
Persimmon has 10.8% sugars content, and most are simple pairs of sugar and
simple sugars (sucrose, fructose, glucose is such), which can easily be
absorbed by our body after eating which may result in hyperglycemia. For
diabetic people, especially those with poor glycemic control, it is even more
harmful.
5. Enough is enough
The tannic acid in persimmon together with dietary calcium, zinc,
magnesium, iron and other minerals form compounds that cannot be absorbed by the
body so that these nutrients can not be used and therefore eating persimmons can
easily lead to a lack of these minerals. And because there is more sugar in
persimmon, eating the same amount of pesimmon compared to apples or pears will
make one fill full faster hence will affect one's appetite, and reduce the
intake of meals. Generally, with an empty stomach, it is advisable that not more
than 200 grams of persimmon should be taken.
6. Mouthwash after eating
Persimmon has is high in sugar and contains pectin. After eating persimmon
there will be some of the fruits remaining in the mouth, especially in between
the teeth. With
the acidic properties of the high tannic acid it is easy to cause tooth
decay, the formation of dental caries. Therefore after eating persimmons it is
advisable to drink some water or to rinse our mouths.
