I don't know if you like to eat loquats. It is said that it can relieve cough and reduce phlegm. Coupled with the influence of "Sichuan Bei Loquat Paste", this view is more firmly established. Today we are going to talk about whether eating loquats can relieve coughs. In fact, the familiar "Sichuan Bei Loquat Paste" uses loquat leaves instead of loquat fruit. Experiments have shown that loquat leaves contain a compound that has anti-inflammatory and cough-relieving effects. In addition to loquat leaves, another study using mice as research subjects also showed that an alcohol extract from loquat flowers can relieve cough and expectorant. Therefore, the use of loquat leaves as medicine does not mean that its fruit can also relieve cough and asthma. It is just an ordinary fruit . Copyright images in the gallery.

Generally, the loquats we can see are divided into two types: red flesh and white flesh . Experiments have shown that the carotene content in red flesh loquat is 26.6 times that of white flesh loquat. These carotenes can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which can relieve visual fatigue, maintain the health of skin and mucous membranes, and regulate immunity . Especially now that we are at work and cannot do without mobile phones and computers, we must pay more attention to supplementing carotene. According to the recommendations in the book "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", it is best to eat 200 to 350 grams of fruit every day. If you count loquats, it is best to eat about 10 loquats a day . Copyright images in the gallery. Reprinting and using them may lead to copyright disputes. But when we eat loquat, we must not eat the core of the loquat . Its core is one of the materials for making amygdalin, which will decompose into benzaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid in the body, which can easily cause cyanide poisoning. If you have a cough, don't expect that eating loquats will help. You still need to seek medical attention immediately . Copyright images in the gallery.
