Eat more fruits, but don’t eat them indiscriminately! There are certain taboos regarding which fruits people should eat. 　　So, which fruits should one choose to eat? 　　You can consider it from three aspects: an individual’s health status, the color of the fruit, and the components it contains. Eating Fruits to Identify Diseases 1. Patients with coronary heart disease and high blood lipid levels should consume fruits such as hawthorn, citrus, grapefruit, peaches, and strawberries, as they contain vitamin C and niacin, which help to reduce blood lipids and cholesterol levels. 　　2. Diabetics: Pineapples, pears, cherries, bayberries, grapes, lychees, lemons, etc., are rich in pectin or fruit acids, which can alter insulin secretion and help lower blood sugar levels. 　　3. Patients with hepatitis: It is advisable to consume fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, jujubes, kiwifruits, bananas, pears, apples, strawberries, etc. 　　4. Patients with respiratory tract infections, especially those with sore throats, coughs, and excessive phlegm, should consume more fruits such as pears, loquats, grapefruits, and apricots, which help to reduce phlegm, moisten the lungs, and relieve coughs. 　　5. Patients with hypertension and arteriosclerosis: Honeydew melon is high in potassium, yet contains no sodium or fat, which helps to control blood pressure. Oranges, hawthorns, dates, and tangerines are rich in vitamin C, which can help lower blood pressure and alleviate arteriosclerosis. Lemons and other sour fruits can have the same effect. 　　6. Patients with myocardial infarction or stroke should eat fruits that aid digestion, such as bananas, oranges, and peaches ； Fruits such as persimmons and apples should not be eaten, as they contain tannins which can cause constipation and worsen the condition. When eating fruit, pay attention to its color. Orange: The orange pigments in citrus fruits have anti-cancer properties; their effectiveness is more than five times that of carotenes, and they are also rich in vitamin C. Representative fruits include oranges, honeydews, etc. 　　Purple: It is an anthocyanin that is quite effective in reducing eye fatigue, and this compound also has the ability to enhance blood vessel elasticity. Representative fruits include grapes and plums, etc. 　　Red: The source of red color is carotenoids, which can inhibit reactive oxygen species that promote the formation of cancer cells, boost the body’s immunity, and even have anti-aging effects. Representative fruits include apples, plums, figs, peaches, etc. 　　Yellow: Xanthin is a yellow pigment with antioxidant properties, and it helps prevent arteriosclerosis, cancer, and aging. Representative fruits include lemons, papayas, bananas, grapefruits, etc. 　　Check the ingredients when eating fruits. Apples: Apples contain large amounts of sugars and potassium; consuming too many of them is not beneficial for heart and kidney health ； People suffering from coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, kidney disease, or diabetes should not consume too much of it. 　　Bananas: Bananas are cold in nature and contain high levels of sodium salts; those suffering from chronic nephritis, hypertension, or edema should consume them with caution ； Due to their high sugar content, bananas should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes. 　　Oranges: Oranges have a cool nature, and elderly people with weak functions of the stomach, intestines, kidneys, and lungs should not consume them in large amounts, as this may trigger symptoms such as abdominal pain and weakness in the waist and knees. Eating too many oranges can also cause internal heat, leading to mouth ulcers, red and swollen eyes, and the development of hemorrhoids. 　　Watermelon: High in water content, watermelon is an excellent fruit for relieving heat in the height of summer. However, its flesh has a cool nature, and people who are elderly or weak may experience abdominal pain or diarrhea if they consume too much of it ； Patients with heart failure and those with severe edema should also avoid eating too much. 　　Litchis: Consuming a large amount of litchis in succession can cause paleness, dizziness, palpitations, cold sweats, yawning, and fatigue. This is due to an exogenous hypoglycemic reaction triggered by litchis, which is medically known as \"litchi disease\". 　　Persimmons: The flesh of persimmons contains large amounts of tannins and persimmon gum phenols. Tannins have a strong astringent effect, so people suffering from constipation should not consume too many of them. Furthermore, eating persimmons on an empty stomach or after eating crabs increases the risk of developing persimmon stones. Therefore, patients suffering from gastritis, excess stomach acid, or coldness in the spleen and stomach, as well as those who are fasting or fatigued, should avoid eating persimmons or consume them in small amounts.
