"Lychee is not only sweet but also has an impressive nutritional profile," says Piyush Mishra, a general medical practitioner in India.

Here are the health benefits and tips on how to eat lychee without gaining weight, according to the Hindustan Times .

Lychee contains impressive nutritional composition

Helps cool down

Lychee has a rich water content, helping to compensate for water loss due to sweat, supporting heat dissipation and effective thirst quenching.

Provide vitamin C

Lychee can meet the body's daily vitamin C needs. Vitamin C plays an important role in strengthening the immune system, protecting the skin, supporting collagen production and promoting iron absorption.

Digestive support

Lychees are rich in fiber, which helps promote a healthy digestive system. Regular consumption of lychees can help prevent constipation and ensure smooth bowel movements.

Power supply

Thanks to its high carbohydrate content, including fructose and sucrose, lychees help release energy quickly, leaving the body alert and energized.

Anti-inflammatory

Lychees are rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, they can help reduce inflammation in the body, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Weight control

Lychee is low in calories and fat, and the fiber in lychee helps you feel full longer, reducing food intake.

Helps skin healthy and beautiful

Thanks to its rich vitamin C and antioxidant content, lychee helps fight free radicals, prevent premature aging, support collagen production, and keep skin firm and smooth.

Note when eating lychee

To enjoy lychee while still maintaining a slim figure, you should eat about 10-12 fruits per day. This amount of lychee provides enough necessary nutrients without exceeding sugar and calorie levels.

Morning or mid-morning is the best time to enjoy lychee. Eating lychee on an empty stomach will help the body absorb nutrients best.

Additionally, lychees can be a snack between breakfast and lunch, helping to maintain energy and prevent unhealthy snacking.
