Recently
"Lychee disease" that is often mentioned in the "litchi season"
It didn't happen in the last few years
The so-called "lychee disease" means that some people have low blood sugar after eating a large amount of lychee for a long time (this is because lychee contains a lot of fructose, after eating a large amount, it will stimulate a large amount of insulin secretion in the body, so that the glucose in the body gradually decreases, resulting in a series of hypoglycemia manifestations). ）
People with mild symptoms will have dizziness, sweating, pallor, fatigue, palpitation, thirst, hunger and other symptoms, while severe people may appear cold limbs, blood pressure drop, and even convulsions, coma and even shock death, although the occurrence of "lychee disease" is rare but not to be underestimated, in fact, through the summary of a large number of pathogenesis process
Eating a large amount of lychee for a long time on an empty stomach is likely to be a key factor in the disease
"Lychee disease" is more common in children
"Lychee disease" occurs more often in children, more common in children aged 4 to 11 years. Because lychee contains a large amount of fructose glucose, it stimulates the body to produce a large amount of insulin for lowering blood sugar in a short period of time.
There are two substances in lychee, hypoglycine A (HypoglycinA) and methylene cyclopropylglycine (MCPG), which will affect the metabolism of gluconeogenesis and the oxidation of fatty acids, destroy the body's self-protection mechanism, and eventually lead to severe hypoglycemia reactions.
And compared with ripe fruits, the content of hypoglycine A and methylene cyclopropylglycine in unripe lychees is higher, especially when eaten on an empty stomach, it will increase the probability of disease; If children eat immature lychees, the probability of lychee disease is greater, and most of the current deaths are in young children.
Children and other special groups of people have imperfect self-regulation ability, coupled with young age, stored energy substances are also less, after eating a large amount of lychee, it will lead to loss of appetite, reduce diet, will further hinder glucose supplementation, so children are more likely to get lychee disease, the consequences are more serious.
What should I do if "lychee disease" occurs?
If there are only mild symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and sweating, they should lie down immediately and take glucose water or sugar water to correct hypoglycemia and supplement the necessary glucose. If there are serious cases of lychee disease such as convulsions, collapse or shock, they should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
How to eat lychees correctly?
1. It is recommended that adults should not eat more than 300 grams of lychee per day, and children should not eat more than 5 at a time.
2. It is recommended to eat about half an hour after meals, and must not be eaten on an empty stomach or in excess.
3. Patients suffering from tonsillitis, laryngitis, constipation and diabetes should eat lychee with caution.
4. While eating lychees, you can drink some light salt water, or you can soak the lychee skin in light salt water, and then put it in the freezer and eat it.
Salt has the effect of clearing fire and cooling blood, you can drink some light salt water before and after eating lychee, you can also put lychee meat in light salt water, soak for a short time before eating, you can go to the fire to reduce dryness. In addition, lychee shell bitter cold, can relieve the heat of lychee, after eating the pulp, you can also use lychee shell fried water to drink. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded: "Acne sores are not cheerful, frying soup and drinking; Relieve the lychee fever and soak in water. ”）
Therefore, lychees can be eaten, but avoid eating on an empty stomach, let alone eat too much
If you are diabetic, it is even more important to control!
