Contraindications and Precautions
1、Prohibition of alcohol allergy
Although plum wine is a fruit wine with a low alcohol content, it is a wine with a certain alcohol content. People who are allergic to alcohol in their lives should not drink it, otherwise it will cause allergies, which is very harmful to health.
2, liver function is not suitable for drinking
When drinking plum wine, it should also be noted that people with poor liver function cannot drink plum wine, because plum wine still contains a lot of alcohol, which can cause some damage to the liver and increase the burden on the liver. Especially for people with hepatitis or cirrhosis, we should not eat plum wine, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. Such people must pay attention.
3, hot body should not drink
People who are prone to feel fire in their hot bodies in life are not suitable for drinking plum wine because they are warm. After drinking it, people will have a general fever and more phlegm secretion from the trachea, which will also cause various symptoms of fire, leading to a high incidence of sore mouth and tongue, sore throat and red eyes.
4, do not drink too much
Normal people usually drink plum wine in moderation, which has a variety of benefits to the body. It can be appetizing, eliminate food and increase appetite. However, excessive consumption of plum wine will increase the gastrointestinal burden and even affect the detoxification function of the liver, directly endangering people’s health.
We often hear the saying that although wine is good to drink, we should never drink too much. Although plum wine is a fruit wine, we should not ignore the fact that it contains alcohol. As a home-brewed fruit wine, it is sweet and delicious, but we should also be aware of its contraindications. People who are allergic to alcohol, people with hot bodies, and people whose doctors say they are not allowed to drink it must control their health.
