Important Reminder
Although hawthorn has many effects, it is not without any contraindications. Although hawthorn is good, it is necessary to control the amount of food and choose the correct way to eat.
People with stomach ulcers and excessive gastric acid secretion should not eat too much sour food, which is easy to stimulate excessive secretion of gastric acid and aggravate the symptoms of gastric ulcers.
Hawthorn should not be consumed in excess, which will lead to acid water in the mouth.
Unripe hawthorn should be eaten less, which contains too much organic acid and tannic acid, which will increase the possibility of gastrolithiasis.
The efficacy of hawthorn and hawthorn cake is very different. Hawthorn cake, rock sugar gourd, etc., although sweet and sour, but there are too many sugars added to it to hide the sour taste. After consumption, it not only does not help digestion, benefit cardiovascular disease, but also easily leads to obesity.
