Gorgon fruit is actually a very common ingredient in our daily life. Generally speaking, everyone can eat it. However, Gorgon fruit is also a traditional Chinese medicinal material.

We also hope that friends who are not suitable for eating Gorgon fruit should not consume it in large quantities in daily life.

Gorgon fruit is a very common Chinese medicinal material that is both a medicine and a food. Gorgon fruit has many effects. It can treat spermatorrhea and spleen and stomach weakness, as well as male sexual dysfunction and female gynecological inflammation. Although Gorgon fruit can be added in small amounts when cooking porridge, no matter what Chinese medicinal material it is, excessive consumption will be harmful to health. What are the contraindications for eating Gorgon fruit?

1. We need to remind everyone that you should not eat too much water chestnut at a single time. Although water chestnut is rich in fat, protein, and crude fiber, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, water chestnut has the effect of astringency. If you already have severe constipation, eating water chestnut will aggravate the constipation. Many people eat water chestnut as a staple food, but this is actually very unscientific. Try to use it as a medicinal auxiliary material, or put it in a small amount when making porridge.

2. Gorgon fruit also has certain tonic and anti-cancer effects, because it can indeed enhance the absorption of the small intestine and speed up the body's excretion of sugars. At the same time, it will enhance our absorption of vitamins. Relevant experiments have proved that serum carotene can reduce the incidence of lung cancer and gastric cancer. Therefore, eating Gorgon fruit regularly can also prevent gastric cancer and lung cancer.

3. Many mothers see that Gorgon fruit has the effect of nourishing the spleen and strengthening the stomach, and always want to let their babies try it. In fact, although Gorgon fruit has a very good effect of strengthening the spleen, it has a relatively strong astringent effect. Therefore, if the gastric motility is not strong enough, it will cause very serious constipation after consumption. Not only infants cannot use it, but postpartum women are also strictly prohibited from eating it.
