What are the common problems of pregnant women eating persimmons?

1. Eat persimmons in moderation. Persimmon cakes contain more sugar, so people feel fuller when eating persimmons than eating the same amount of apples, pears, etc. Eating too much persimmon cake can easily affect your appetite and have adverse effects on your teeth and oral cavity. The tannic acid in persimmon cake affects the body's digestion and absorption of nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. Eating persimmons too much can easily cause indigestion. It is generally believed that if the stomach is not empty, it is appropriate to eat about one persimmon each time.

2. Do not eat with the skin. Most of the tannins in persimmon cakes are concentrated in the persimmon peel. When the persimmon cakes are de-astringent, it is impossible to completely remove all the tannins in them. If the skin is eaten together, it is more likely to form gastric persimmon stones, especially when the de-astringency process is not perfect. The skin contains more tannins, which will increase the chances of some diseases such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.

3. Rinse your mouth after eating persimmon cake. Persimmon cakes are high in sugar and contain gum arabic. After eating persimmons, some of them will remain in the mouth, especially in the gaps between teeth. Coupled with the acidic tannins, it is easy to corrode the teeth and cause tooth decay. Therefore, it is advisable to drink a few sips of water or rinse your mouth immediately after eating persimmons.

4. Diabetic patients should avoid eating persimmons. If a pregnant woman suffers from gestational diabetes, she is not suitable to eat persimmon cake. Persimmon cake contains 10.8% glycogen. Persimmon cake contains simple disaccharides and monosaccharides, which are easily digested and absorbed by the body and increase blood sugar.

5. Do not eat persimmons on an empty stomach. Do not eat persimmons on an empty stomach, because the tannic acid and collagen fibers in persimmons and their soluble astringents are easily combined with the high concentration of gastric acid, which may cause stones, stomach bloating and stomach pain. In severe cases, it may also cause gastric stones, gastric ulcers, gastric bleeding, and other serious symptoms.

6. Groups not suitable for eating. People with chronic gastritis, indigestion and other poor stomach function, as well as those with cold and cough are not suitable for eating persimmon cakes; pregnant women with weak constitution and weak body should not eat persimmons.
