This fruit is in season, but don't give it too much to your children!
Right now, it's time for lychees to be in season, with a full and rosy shell, and a flesh that is as thick as jade... Children who like lychees have a mouthful!
Although the pulp of lychee is crisp and sweet, "one lychee three fires", eat it incorrectly, it is easy to suffer from "lychee disease"! There have been many such cases in recent years
......
What is "lychee disease"?
"Lychee disease" refers to the symptoms of dizziness, sweating, paleness, fatigue, palpitation, thirst, hunger and other symptoms after eating a large amount of fresh lychee, and severe cases may appear cold limbs, decreased blood pressure, and even convulsions and sudden coma.
There are two main causes of "lychee disease":
◽ On the one hand, because lychee contains more fructose, and the metabolic process of converting fructose into glucose or synthesizing glycogen in the body requires a series of enzymes to catalyze and transform.
If too much fructose is consumed at one time, the body does not have time to provide enough inversion enzyme, and there is a large amount of fructose in the blood, which will stimulate the pancreatic islet β cells to quickly release a large amount of insulin to lower blood sugar.
◽ On the other hand, lychee contains two "toxins", namely hypoglycine A (hypoglycon A) and methylene cyclopropylglycine, which interfere with the body's production of glucose and inhibit fatty acid metabolism, resulting in a further decrease in blood sugar.
Lychee disease is more common in children, after eating a large amount of lychee, because lychee contains more glucose, sucrose and fructose, eating too much at one time will stimulate the human body to produce a large amount of insulin in a short period of time and reduce blood sugar concentration. Children are more likely to develop hypoglycemia due to insufficient self-regulation in the body and insufficient ability to inactivate insulin.
If symptoms occur, how to give first aid?
If you eat lychee and really have symptoms of hypoglycemia, in the absence of severe symptoms such as convulsions and coma, you can first urgently relieve symptoms by ingesting common foods at home such as candy, honey, white sugar, biscuits, etc.
However, it should be noted that sweetened drinks, milk, ice cream, chocolate, etc. flavored with fructoglucose syrup do not work well and are not recommended for first aid.
In addition, if you have more serious symptoms, such as convulsions, confusion, etc., it is recommended to call the emergency number directly to the doctor, do not feed food or water without authorization, to avoid suffocation.
