Do you know the side effects of Luo Han Guo

As a common medicinal plant, monk fruit is consumed by many friends in life because it has a good effect on the lungs and throat. However, if consumed improperly, it will also produce certain side effects.

First point

Generally speaking, the side effects of monk fruit are very small, and only a very small number of people cannot drink monk fruit water. For example, we do not recommend drinking monk fruit water for people with cold constitution. If pharyngitis is really uncomfortable, you can try drinking a small amount of monk fruit water without causing excessive reaction in the body, so that the pharyngitis can slowly recover.

Second point

The most common side effect of monk fruit is that it is too sweet and hurts the spleen and stomach. Luo Han Guo can be used as a tea substitute if it is dried in the sun, but it cannot be used as a tea substitute for a long time. If it is dried, drinking too much will cause internal heat. It is best to drink less or drink it with other heat-clearing and cooling ingredients for wind-heat cough. People with nocturnal emissions and nocturia should avoid it. It is fine to drink it in the short term, but long-term drinking will lead to a decline in gastrointestinal function and cause a chain of pathological reactions. However, for people with extremely sensitive or cold constitutions, we strongly advise against drinking monk fruit water. It is recommended that you first consult a Chinese medicine doctor or nutritionist to adjust your physical condition through diet.

Third Point

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Luo Han Guo is sweet, sour, and cool in nature. It has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, promoting fluid production and relieving cough, lubricating the intestines and detoxifying, rejuvenating the skin, moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm. It can be used to prolong life, maintain youthful complexion, and treat phlegm-heat cough, sore throat, constipation, thirst, and irritability. Modern medical research has found that monk fruit is rich in glycosides, which are 300 times sweeter than sucrose. They have the effect of lowering blood sugar and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for diabetes. They are rich in vitamin C, have anti-aging, anti-cancer and skin-beautifying effects. They have the effects of lowering blood lipids and losing weight, and can assist in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and improve the image of obese people.
