In the past, people only knew that eating fruit was good for their health. As a result, they often bought fruits from the market and ate them casually, without much thought. Many believed that just by eating fruits, they were getting all the essential vitamins—A, B, C, D, and more. However, doctors have since warned that different body types require different kinds of fruits. It's not just about eating fruit; it's about choosing the right kind based on your individual constitution.
Western medicine also emphasizes that fruit consumption should be done wisely. Some people believe that eating more fruits can help with weight loss and beauty, even thinking that eating fruit three times a day is ideal. But Dr. Yang cautions that this isn’t always the case. Eating too much fruit can actually be harmful, and it’s important to follow a scientific approach.
Here are some key tips from Western medical advice:
1. People with low stomach acid should avoid acidic fruits like plums, hawthorn, and lemons.
2. Those who suffer from constipation can benefit from eating fruits like peaches, bananas, and oranges, which have a mild laxative effect.
3. Many enjoy eating cold fruits straight from the fridge, but this can irritate the digestive system, especially for those with sensitive stomachs or mild gastritis.
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the choice of fruit depends on one’s body constitution. According to Dr. Wang Zhiming from the Beijing Third Hospital of the Armed Police Force, TCM categorizes the body into cold, hot, and neutral types. Similarly, fruits are also classified as either cooling or warming. Choosing the wrong type of fruit or overeating can lead to imbalances in the body.
Here are some TCM recommendations:
1. For individuals with a weak or cold constitution—such as those who feel chilly, sweat easily, or suffer from diarrhea—warm and hot fruits are recommended. These include longan, lychee, walnut meat, bayberry, peach, orange, cherry, apricot, pomegranate, coconut, jujube, chestnut, and plum.
2. Those with a "hot" constitution—often characterized by redness, mouth ulcers, dry mouth, and irritability—should opt for cooling fruits like watermelon, pear, banana, grapefruit, goji berries, mango, sugarcane, persimmon, mulberry, kiwi, and raw water chestnuts. These can help reduce internal heat.
3. For those with a balanced or neutral constitution, a wide variety of fruits is suitable. Pineapple and sugarcane are particularly recommended for their balanced properties.
In conclusion, while fruits are undeniably beneficial, they should be consumed with care and consideration for one's own health condition. A personalized approach ensures that you get the most out of your fruit intake without causing harm.
