Named: The Non-Obvious Danger of Persimmon

Despite the benefits of persimmon, it's better to consume it in the first half of the day, as it is rich in carbohydrates. Dietitian Roman Pristansky reported this in an interview with "Radio 1".

"If you consume anything high in carbohydrates in the evening hours, it suppresses the production of growth hormone - the main restorative agent of our body," the specialist warned.

According to him, there is no specific norm for persimmon consumption, but one should be guided by the total caloric content of the diet.

Therapist, nutritionist, and specialist at the Hedonist vitamin-mineral complex selection service, Irina Tyurina, previously stated that persimmon, as well as blueberries, blackberries, dark grapes, and rowan berries are rich in carotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, zinc - microelements that help reduce inflammation, increase antioxidant protection, and strengthen immunity in general.
