Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
Nutritional Value and Health Benefits of Longan:
1. Longan has a sweet taste and warm nature, and is associated with the Heart and Spleen meridians. It is rich in glucose and iron, both of which are readily absorbed and utilized by the human body. Iron promotes hemoglobin synthesis, helping to alleviate symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia and improve sallow complexion.
2. Longan contains various nutrients that are easily absorbed. Regular consumption may calm the mind, enhance cognitive function, and help treat insomnia and forgetfulness. Vitamins B1 and B2 found in longan can help relieve anxiety.
In daily life, moderate consumption of longan is appropriate.
