Can frozen watermelon be eaten directly?

The most popular fruits in the hot summer are grapes, pears, lychees, peaches and of course watermelon. Especially if you cut the watermelon in half and put it in the refrigerator to cool it before eating, you will find that the watermelon at this time is really refreshing and heat-relieving. The watermelon rind can also be made into cold dishes on our dining table. Some people even put the watermelon directly in the freezer to make frozen watermelon. Let's learn about frozen watermelon together.

1. If you eat cold watermelon, it can easily cause pharyngitis or toothache. Because watermelon is cold in nature and sweet in taste, and the moisture in the flesh tends to freeze into ice crystals after being refrigerated at low temperatures, the mouth will be suddenly stimulated when eaten, and the salivary glands, taste nerves and periodontal nerves in the tongue will cool down rapidly, sometimes even causing paralysis. This will not only reduce the crispy and sweet taste of watermelon, but also irritate the throat and even cause adverse reactions such as pharyngitis or toothache.

2. If you eat too much refrigerated watermelon, it will damage your spleen and stomach and cause indigestion. Especially for the elderly with decreased digestive function, eating frozen watermelon can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases such as anorexia, abdominal distension and pain, and diarrhea. People with weak spleen and stomach, indigestion, and loose stools should also eat less. Eating too much will cause abdominal distension, diarrhea, decreased appetite, and also cause diseases such as accumulation of cold and dampness.

3. It is not advisable for women to eat cold watermelon during menstruation. Once you eat cold food, the blood will be stimulated by the temperature change, and the blood circulation will become poor; blood clots will easily form, and cause menstrual pain, irregular menstruation, etc.

Warm reminder: Patients with renal insufficiency should not eat cold watermelon. Not to mention frozen watermelon, even watermelon at room temperature should be eaten less. Because for patients with renal insufficiency, if they eat a lot of watermelon in a short period of time, the water content in their body will increase rapidly and exceed the physiological capacity of the body.

Although eating frozen watermelon will make us feel cool and relieve heat, it is not suitable for everyone, because watermelon is a cool fruit. Therefore, those with a cold constitution should not eat it. In addition, friends with dental diseases should also be careful not to eat it directly to avoid aggravating toothache.
