[NewTangDynastyBeijingTimeJune292021]The crystal clear, sweet and juicy lychee is a summer fruit that many people love to eat. Although the lychee is delicious, if you eat too much, your body will get sick. Recently, two men in Zhongshan, Guangdong, almost lost their eyesight because of eating a lot of lychees.
According to mainland media reports, the 46-year-old Mr. Wu originally suffered from cataracts. He ate a lot of lychees more than ten days ago. His vision slowly became blurred these days, until all of a sudden there was nothing in sight. Another Mr. Liao ate a lot of lychees in a short period of time, and suddenly one day the eyelid of one eye could not be lifted.
The doctor said that Mr. Wu suffers from diabetes. After eating a lot of lychees, his blood sugar suddenly rises, which leads to a decrease in the water-resistant inorganic salt in the eye. The water flows back and reverses and penetrates into the lens to aggravate cataracts. Cataract surgery must be performed immediately.
Mr. Liao is also a diabetic. Due to a short-term increase in blood sugar, peripheral eye neuropathy and oculomotor nerve palsy lead to upper eyelid drooping.
The doctor said that because of the high sugar content of lychees, many people can’t put it down, and these sugars are very easy to cause various diseases for people with diabetes.
The doctor explained that the fructose content in litchi is as high as 20%, and high sugar content will cause blood sugar fluctuations. Fluctuations in blood sugar can cause the original underlying diseases at home, such as bleeding, vitreous hemorrhage and worsening of the disease, or macular edema, which require intervention and treatment.
After litchi enters the human body, fructose needs a lot of glucose for conversion, and in this process, if the glucose “reinforcement” is not timely, it is prone to hypoglycemia. Before fructose can be converted into glucose, the body’s original glucose is digested, which will cause hypoglycemia.
The doctor recommends that children should not eat on an empty stomach or eat too much. People with underlying diseases such as diabetes should eat 3 to 5 tablets a day if they really want to eat. Normal people eat about 300 grams a day.
The news that eating too much lychee caused physical discomfort caused a heated discussion among netizens, “One litchi three fires”, “I feel uncomfortable if I eat more than a catty. I feel that I can eat everything in moderation anyway.” “I ate it.” I caught fire within a dozen hours.” “In fact, it’s not good to eat too much.” “Any excess of food will hurt the body.”
However, some netizens really love to eat lychees, saying bluntly, “But the lychees are really delicious.” Others quoted Su Dongpo’s poem, “I eat 300 lychees every day, and I will grow up as a Lingnan native.”
Someone reminded, “Diabetics should eat less rice, and sweeter fruits should not be eaten, okay, dare to eat lychees? If there is a problem, isn’t it just asking for it.” Worry!”
