Persimmon is a popular seasonal fruit in Russia that everyone, without exception, loves to enjoy.
However, it turned out that it may not be useful for everyone.
Specialists from the Republican Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention of Ufa told the portal UfaTime.ru who should refrain from eating the fruit.
Experts reminded that persimmon contains a high concentration of iodine, therefore, people who are contraindicated to excess iodine should refrain from eating it.
This category includes those who suffer from Graves' disease.
In addition, due to its sweetness, persimmon is contraindicated for diabetics, especially those with poorly compensated diabetes.
If you really want to indulge in some fruit, doctors recommend first stabilizing your blood sugar levels and introducing the product into your diet gradually to calculate the necessary insulin dosage.
At the same time, the beneficial properties of the seasonal fruit are hard to deny, since persimmon helps eliminate iodine deficiency in the body and helps get rid of harmful cholesterol.
