Although it is said that "peaches feed people, apricots hurt people, and people are buried under plum trees", it does not mean that peaches can be eaten a lot at a time, but apricots and plums cannot be eaten at all. In fact, most of this sentence is to warn people not to eat more apricots and plums. These three fruits have good nutritional value. It is ok to eat apricots and plums in moderation, and it is not recommended to eat too many peaches at one time.
The meaning is as follows:
Peach has always been regarded as a "nourishing" fruit because of its function of promoting fluid production and moistening intestines. The function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and from a modern point of view, peaches are also very rich in nutrition. Besides protein, they also contain calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins.
The so-called "apricot hurts people" is actually because it is not good to eat too many apricots. Although apricots have the functions of moistening lung, calming asthma, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, eating too much is not good for teeth, and it is also said in the diet that apricots should not be eaten too much, otherwise "carbuncle and furuncle will occur, which will hurt muscles and bones", so there has always been a saying that "apricots hurt people".
The ancients all said that "burying the dead under the plum tree", of course, is not really "burying the dead", which means that you can't eat more plums, which is harmful to your health. Because if you eat too much at one time, it will swell your brain and damage your spleen and stomach.
