The chicken head fruit is also what people often call water chestnut in daily life. It can also be said that the chicken head fruit is the seed kernel of water chestnut. This kind of food is widely used in cooking. Many people use chicken head fruit to make various foods, but some people may have adverse reactions after eating it due to physical reasons, so there are some dietary precautions and taboos that need to be understood. So who should not eat the chicken head fruit? 1. The chicken head fruit is the mature seed kernel of the water chestnut. Its fruit is shaped like a "chicken head", hence the name. Gorgon fruit contains a large amount of carbohydrates and has a relatively tight texture, so eating too much can easily cause indigestion. A large amount of carbohydrates and cellulose ferment in the intestines, which can easily cause constipation. At the same time, Gorgon fruit tastes astringent and has the effect of astringing the intestines, so people with severe constipation will aggravate their constipation if they eat Gorgon fruit, which is not good for the body. 2. People with indigestion are not recommended to eat water chestnuts. Gorgon fruit contains a large amount of carbohydrates and has a tight texture, making it difficult to cook. Eating it by itself can easily cause indigestion. If people who already have symptoms of indigestion eat these difficult-to-digest Gorgon fruits, it will aggravate the indigestion and be detrimental to their health. 3. Although Gorgon fruit is a food that rarely causes allergies, some people may still experience allergies after eating it due to physical problems. Therefore, it is not recommended for such people to eat Gorgon fruit, as it may cause edema, redness, swelling, and itching. Generally, if an allergic reaction occurs, it is best to stop eating immediately and take some anti-allergic foods or medicines at the same time. If the condition is severe and respiratory edema occurs, seek medical attention immediately. 4. Finally, please note that pregnant women are not recommended to eat water chestnuts, because water chestnuts have strong astringency and act on the intestines of pregnant women, which can easily cause constipation. If pregnant women suffer from constipation, it is not good for their own health and the fetus in the womb. Therefore, pregnant women should be careful not to eat water chestnuts. |
