Do not be too superstitious about imported fruits or famous brand fruits. Due to long -distance transportation and storage, in order to prevent collision rotten and deteriorating, it may be unpacistic to pick or use some anti -corrosion (such as wax) and ripening measures.
Various varieties, change the pattern to eat
Traditional Chinese medicine has cold and heat for fruits, and there is also the saying that eat less fever fruits during pregnancy (such as longan, lychee, pineapple, mango, durian, etc.).In fact, it is basically safe to eat a kind of fruit without "staring".

For "Mother Sugar", fruits are not "forbidden fruits", but it is recommended to reduce the size of a fist daily.
High sugar fruit should be eaten as little as possible.Choose more fruits of low sugar and medium sugar, such as grapefruit, kiwi, strawberry, apple, pear, orange, etc.
There are also some fruits that are very "special". When eating, you need to pay attention: Dragon fruit is not sweet high sugar fruit, and watermelon is a low -sugar but easy to eat fruit.
When to eat?
Some fruits have a sour taste, mainly in which organic acids and tannins. Eat on an empty stomach can irritate the stomach. It is not advisable to eat before meals.Of course, most of the current fruits have been cultivated and improved, survival of the fittest, and the sour taste is less. It is not a big deal before meals.
