Precautions for eating durian

1. Durian that naturally cracks after ripening cannot be stored for too long. If you smell alcohol, it must have gone bad, so don't buy it.

2. Because durian has a thick texture and easily accumulates in the intestines, drinking more boiled water can aid digestion.

3. Do not eat too much durian at one time. It is best not to eat more than two cloves of durian a day, about 100 grams. Although durian is rich in cellulose, it will absorb water and swell in the stomach and intestines. Eating too much will block the intestines and cause constipation. Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that durian is warm in nature. If you eat too much, it will cause the dryness and heat to rise and symptoms of dampness and toxicity will appear.

4. Durian is warm in nature. If you eat too much, you can eat mangosteen or drink mung bean soup or selfheal soup.

5. The elderly should pay special attention that durian juice is viscous and can easily block the throat and trachea and cause suffocation, so the elderly should eat less and eat slowly.
