Pay attention to the following points when eating raw food:

1. Do not eat unripe tomatoes. Unripe raw tomatoes contain solanine, which will make your mouth bitter and your stomach uncomfortable. Eating too much can lead to poisoning.

2. It is not advisable to eat a large number of tomatoes on an empty stomach, because tomatoes contain more gum, fruit quality, persimmon tannin and other ingredients, which can easily combine with stomach acid to form block-shaped stones, causing stomach bloating and pain.

3. Patients with acute gastroenteritis and acute bacillary dysentery should not eat tomatoes to avoid aggravating their condition.

4. Do not eat rotten tomatoes to prevent poisoning

People with weak spleen and stomach should not take too much.
