People with diabetes should limit their consumption of persimmons.
Ölkə.az reports with reference to “lenta.ru” that gastroenterologist Dr. Yelena Pekhotina spoke about this.
According to the expert, excessive consumption of persimmons can lead to constipation and an increase in blood glucose levels due to their high sugar content:
“Therefore, people with diabetes should eat persimmons in small quantities.
Both people with diabetes and those prone to constipation should consume persimmons in limited amounts — one or two small fruits per day.”
The doctor added that persimmons are rich in antioxidants, carotenoids, vitamin C, and potassium. According to her, this fruit strengthens blood vessels, improves metabolism, and also has a positive effect on the functioning of the intestines and immune system.
