People with chronic diarrhea, cold spleen and stomach

For patients with digestive problems and cold stomach, eating foods like cucumbers will cause cold air to accumulate in the body, which is not good for the spleen and stomach.

On the other hand, the fiber in cucumbers helps to smooth the intestines. However, for people with unexplained diarrhea, eating cucumbers will make the symptoms worse.

Therefore, people with spleen and stomach diseases, prolonged diarrhea should be careful when eating cucumbers or best to avoid them.

Patients are susceptible to cold.

These people are not suitable to eat cucumber because this food is cool.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of being susceptible to colds is often due to insufficient yang energy in the body, causing the temperature of body parts to drop, making the body often feel weak and the hands and feet cold.

Patients with chronic gastritis

This is because cucumbers contain propanoic acid, which inhibits the conversion of sugar into fat in the human body, thereby indirectly inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid.

Gastric acid is an important factor in human digestion. If gastric acid secretion is insufficient, it will lead to indigestion, loss of appetite, bloating and other problems.

Hypertensive patients should limit eating pickled cucumbers.

Pickled cucumbers are soaked with a large amount of salt, so it can increase blood pressure. In severe cases, people with a history of high blood pressure will suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Notes when eating cucumber

Do not eat cucumbers in large quantities, because they contain enzymes that break down vitamin C. Eating too much can cause vitamin C deficiency.

In addition, the nutritional composition of cucumbers is relatively simple. If you only eat them for a long time, it can lead to the body lacking some of the nutrients it eats, leading to malnutrition.

Do not eat cucumber on an empty stomach because it irritates the digestive tract and affects health.

However, if the digestive tract function is not good, eating raw cucumbers can cause irritation and create uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating and abdominal pain.

If you eat cooked cucumbers, you can destroy some of the fiber in the cucumber because of heating, but it makes the cucumber softer and more flexible, and at the same time enhances the taste and flavor. Eating cooked cucumbers can also help the carotene in it to be fully absorbed, which is more beneficial to health.

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, but cucumbers contain enzymes that can break down vitamin C and lead to loss of nutrients in tomatoes.

Celery: Cucumber and celery are popular vegetables that are rich in fiber. If consumed in excess, they can affect the digestive function of the patient, causing indigestion.

Spinach: Cucumbers are rich in enzymes, which can break down the vitamin C in the vegetable.
