Boost immunity.


Hawthorn contains vitamin C, carotene and other substances, which can block and reduce the generation of free radicals and enhance immunity.


Cardiovascular protection.


Hawthorn can prevent angina by enhancing myocardial contractility, increasing cardiac output, dilating coronary blood vessels, increasing coronary blood flow, and preventing angina Pectoris.


Aid digestion.


Hawthorn contains a variety of organic acids, which can enhance the acidity of gastric juice after eating, increase the activity of pepsin, and promote the digestion of protein and fat.


Hawthorn contains a lot of ingredients that can effectively inhibit bacteria, so it can be a good solution for some gastrointestinal discomfort and abdominal pain.


In addition, if the body has a throat discomfort, hawthorn water is also a good choice.


Taboo crowd.


People with bad stomach.


Hawthorn contains a large amount of organic acids, which can stimulate the secretion of a large amount of gastric acid, thereby stimulating the gastric mucosa and causing discomfort such as stomach fullness.


Especially for people with weak gastrointestinal function or serious stomach diseases, such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, etc., eating hawthorn is easy to aggravate symptoms such as acid reflux, heartburn, and stomach pain.


Pregnant woman.


Hawthorn has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can stimulate the uterus and cause uterine contractions. Eating too much may increase the risk of miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women should take it with caution to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.


People who have dental disease or are in the period of changing teeth.


Hawthorn has a sour taste and has a certain stimulating effect on the teeth after eating. People who have dental disease or are in the process of getting their teeth replaced have sensitive teeth. After eating hawthorn, it can cause toothache.


Diabetic patients.


Hawthorn is high in sugar. Excessive consumption by diabetics may lead to elevated blood sugar. For people with poor or unstable blood sugar control, avoid hawthorn.


People allergic to hawthorn.


Some people with allergies may experience allergic symptoms such as skin redness and itching after eating hawthorn. Such people are not suitable for eating hawthorn.


Tips for picking hawthorn.


1. Look at the shape of the epidermis.


When buying hawthorn, you should choose hawthorn with smooth skin, and there should be no insect eyes on the surface of hawthorn. At the same time, also observe whether the hawthorn peel is cracked.


2. Look at the color of the hawthorn.


The color of fresh hawthorn is very bright. With the growth of storage time, the color of hawthorn will gradually change from bright red to dark red, so choose bright red hawthorn.


3. Look at the size of the hawthorn.


Because the hawthorn has fruit pits, the hawthorn that is too small has almost no edible value, and the hawthorn that is too large is easy to be hollow inside. Choose medium-sized fruits.
