There are varieties of durian, such as Golden Pillow, Kalun, and Qingni. Golden Pillow is the best quality and the most valuable. It is named because of its fleshy, soft, long texture and pillow-like shape. The flesh of durian contains heat. Eating too much will cause nosebleeds. The way to avoid getting angry is to eat mangosteen, because mangosteen can clear away heat and reduce fire.

Durian can relieve menstrual cramps

Durian has a strong smell, and it is no exaggeration to say that it "stinks to high heaven". However, in Thailand, due to its high nutritional value, durian is often used as a tonic for patients and postpartum women to nourish their bodies.

Experts say that durian is hot in nature, can promote blood circulation and dispel cold, relieve dysmenorrhea, and is especially suitable for women suffering from dysmenorrhea. It can also improve the symptoms of abdominal coldness and promote body temperature increase, making it an ideal tonic for people with cold constitution. Boiling soup with durian shells and bones is also a traditional folk diet secret recipe.

Experts warn: Although durian has many benefits, you should not eat too much at one time, otherwise it will easily cause body heat and cause "heat" because the stomach and intestines cannot fully absorb it.

While eating durian, you may as well drink some light salt water, or eat some fruits with high water content to balance it, such as pears, watermelons, etc., which can effectively eliminate dryness and heat.

Special care: The best partner for durian is mangosteen, which is known as the "Queen of Fruits". It can subdue the heat of the "King of Fruits" and protect the body from harm.

One durian is equivalent to three chickens

Although it is rich in nutrients, do not eat more than 100 grams of durian a day

Durian is known as the "king of fruits", but its taste is quite controversial. Those who like it feel that it leaves a lingering fragrance on their teeth and cheeks and are addicted to it; those who hate it find its stench unbearable and even avoid it.

Durian has high nutritional value. There is a saying among the people that "one durian is equivalent to three chickens". The flesh of a durian contains 11% starch, 13% sugar, 3% protein, fat, vitamin C, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other trace elements, which is very nutritious. In Thailand, the "hometown of durian", durian is often used to nourish the body of patients after illness and women after childbirth. Durian shells are used to cook bone soup, which is a good tonic, while the core and the inner flesh are often used to stew chicken soup. This soup is beneficial for replenishing qi, can remove stomach cold, and can also be used as a tonic soup for women.

Although durian is rich in nutrients and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and qi, nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, you should not eat too much at one time, because it is too nutritious and when the stomach and intestines cannot fully absorb it, it will cause internal heat. It should not be consumed at the same time as alcohol. It is best not to eat more than 100 grams a day. The Thai Ministry of Health advises the public not to eat more than two pieces of durian a day. If you eat too much durian, you can eat a few mangosteens and drink more boiled water to help digestion.

Although durian is good, it is not suitable for everyone. Durian is high in calories and sugar. 500 grams contains 500 kcal of calories. Obese people, patients with hypertension and diabetes should not eat too much. It also contains high potassium. People with kidney disease should eat less. Although durian is rich in cellulose, it will absorb water and swell in the stomach. Eating too much will block the intestines and cause constipation. Therefore, patients with constipation and hemorrhoids should not eat it.

Although durian is extremely nutritious, eating too much of it can cause getting a sore throat, especially in this dry autumn. You must eat durian in moderation.
