Is Peanut Considered as a Type of "Fa Wu"?

Peanuts are generally not considered as "fawu" (food that can trigger or exacerbate illnesses), but attention should be paid to the consumption amount.

"Fawu" usually refers to foods that can induce or worsen diseases, commonly including beef, mutton, oysters, crabs, etc. Peanuts do not fall into the category of "fawu", and consuming them will not cause disease onset or worsening. At the same time, peanuts are rich in various nutrients such as protein, amino acids, and carbohydrates. Eating peanuts in moderation can supplement the body's nutrition and usually does not have a significant impact on the gastrointestinal tract. They are also rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and improve symptoms such as bloating and constipation.

If one has an allergic tendency to peanuts or suffers from spleen and stomach weakness, it is not recommended to eat them to avoid discomfort. Additionally, if peanuts are found to be sprouting or the taste has changed, consumption should be stopped immediately. After eating peanuts, one can gently massage the abdomen to accelerate food digestion and absorption. In daily life, attention should be paid to balanced dietary intake, avoiding picky eating or partial eating, and quitting smoking and alcohol consumption. Meanwhile, it is important to keep the abdomen warm to prevent cold exposure, which can disrupt the intestinal flora.
