People with high blood volume can generally consume stewed pork stomach soup with ginkgo seeds. Ginkgo seeds have excellent effects in lowering blood lipids and blood sugar. Individuals with high blood sugar can适量 consume them without worsening their hyperglycemic symptoms. However, it is not recommended to eat too many at once, as this may lead to poisoning due to the slight toxicity of ginkgo seeds. When blood sugar is high, one should avoid eating high-sugar foods in their diet.
