Turmeric Lemon Water Side Effects
On the side effects of turmeric lemonade
Turmeric lemonade has attracted much attention in recent years, but its side effects should not be underestimated.
Turmeric, warm in nature, enters the liver and spleen meridians. Lemon, sour and sweet in taste, cold in nature, belongs to the lung and stomach meridians. The two are combined to drink, although there are many benefits, but improper drinking, also has drawbacks.
First, gastrointestinal discomfort. Turmeric contains curcumin, although it has anti-inflammatory effects, but excessive intake, easy to stimulate the stomach. People with weak spleen and stomach often drink this water, or cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Because of the warmth of turmeric and the coolness of lemon, if the preparation is improper, it will affect the ability of spleen and stomach to transport and transform. For example, people with spleen and stomach deficiency who drink turmeric lemonade on an empty stomach often feel colic in the abdomen and frequent diarrhea.
Second, it affects coagulation. Turmeric can inhibit platelet aggregation and has a certain anticoagulation effect. If people who are taking anticoagulant drugs drink turmeric lemonade at the same time, they may increase the risk of bleeding. Such as postoperative patients or people with poor coagulation function who drink it carelessly, or cause wound bleeding to stop, or subcutaneous blood stasis.
Third, allergic reactions. Both turmeric and lemon can become allergens. Some people with allergies may experience red rash, itching, and even shortness of breath and throat edema after exposure to turmeric lemonade. This is due to the body's immune system overreacting to specific components of turmeric or lemon.
Therefore, drinking turmeric lemonade requires a clear understanding of one's own physique and a moderate amount to maintain health.
