Now, in the face of the new coronavirus infection, some people have also included canned yellow peaches on the "stocking list" of home rehabilitation.
A certain canned yellow peach brand posted: Canned yellow peach ≠ medicine
Canned yellow peaches really that magic? Can it alleviate the symptoms of new crown ?
A canned yellow peach brand official Weibo post said, "Recently, due to special periods, we have seen that some places have begun to stockpile daily necessities, and many treasures have chosen to stockpile canned yellow peaches. Gradually, many posts using canned yellow peaches as medicines have appeared. We even received private messages such as 'Can your yellow peaches cure diseases?' This kind of private message inevitably makes us a little worried. Although many of them are making jokes, they are still worried that the treasures who don't know the truth will be misled."
The brand said that canned yellow peaches themselves have no medicinal effects. Stock up goods rationally and do not follow blindly.
canned yellow peaches cannot replace treatment, and may especially aggravate the cough
According to the People's Daily Health Client, many experts said that canned yellow peaches are rich in nutrients and can boost appetite, but it is more like a sweet "placebo" and cannot relieve the symptoms of the disease. Especially do not eat it when coughing, as it may aggravate the symptoms.
From the perspective of daily consumption, yellow peach itself is rich in a variety of nutrients. Yellow peach contains vitamin C, vitamin B, β carotene , lycopene, etc. has certain benefits in promoting metabolism and to improve immunity ; Yellow peach contains more zinc and selenium mineral elements than other peaches. In addition, yellow peach contains more potassium elements, and potassium is an element that makes people feel happy.
For many people who have a poor appetite due to colds and fevers, an appropriate amount of yellow peaches can also help replenish energy and boost appetite. Zuo Xiaoxia introduced: "Yellow peach contains more sugars, which can quickly replenish energy and restore some physical strength. Moreover, yellow peach is rich in dietary fiber , especially pectin has more ingredients, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and moisten the intestines; the citric acid , malic acid , etc. contained in yellow peach can stimulate appetite when the appetite is bad, so that people can eat something."
However, canned yellow peaches are not really a special medicine for fever and cough. It is like the cake you eat when you are under high pressure and the milk tea you drink too much. is more of a sweet 'placebo'. " Gao Xiaoling, deputy director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Shanxi Medical University Second Hospital, reminded that eating fruit cannot replace drug treatment. If the new coronavirus is diagnosed, it is necessary to use drugs for treatment scientifically. When is severe, you should actively go to the hospital for treatment, cooperate with doctors for treatment, and treat the disease scientifically.
", especially when coughing symptoms occur, eating sweets like canned yellow peaches will aggravate the cough. On the one hand, it is because sweets can directly stimulate the nerves in the throat, reflexively causing coughing, which aggravates the cough; on the other hand, it is because sugar can stimulate the throat mucosa, causing increased secretions in the throat. In addition, sugar is more sticky, making the secretions more viscous, which makes the sputum less likely to cough out and aggravate the cough. There is also cough. If it is a symptom caused by respiratory infection with , the sugar in sweets will cause bacteria to grow and reproduce in large quantities, which will aggravate the cough. "Gao Xiaoling introduced.
Regarding some netizens who say that they prefer to eat canned yellow peaches that have been frozen when they are sick, Gao Xiaoling reminds that when has symptoms of cough, try to avoid eating iced foods. Cold foods will cause certain stimulation to the airway, causing the airway to contract, causing the airway to cramp, and the airway is narrow, and the symptoms of coughing will worsen.
Because sugar and preservatives are added to the canned food, you should pay attention to the appropriate amount when eating; diabetic patients and gastritis patients are not suitable for consumption, and allergic people cannot eat canned yellow peaches.Therefore, everyone still needs to look at the "mysterious power" of canned yellow peaches.
