Health treasure ‘Amla’ can become ‘poison’ for these 5 types of people! Are you also not in this list?

As soon as winter arrives, Amla is available in the market. It has been given the status of ‘superfood’ and why not! Powerhouse of Vitamin C, rich in antioxidants… Amla is considered a panacea for everything, from our immunity to digestion and skin. People eat it in many ways like juice, pickle, murabba and powder.

But wait! Do you know that this miraculous fruit is not beneficial for everyone? Yes, in certain health problems, consumption of Amla (Indian Gooseberry) can cause serious harm to your health instead of benefiting it.

So let us know today which people should think twice before eating Amla or should stay away from it completely.

1. If your sugar level is often low

A major quality of Amla is that it helps in reducing blood sugar level. But this very quality can prove dangerous for those people whose sugar level is already often low (hypoglycemia). In such a situation, if you eat Amla, your sugar level may fall further, which may cause problems like weakness, dizziness or fainting.

2. If you are troubled by acidity and gas

For people whose stomach is very sensitive or who often complain of acidity, heartburn and gas, Amla can add fuel to the fire. Amla is sour in taste and acidic in nature. Eating this can increase the acid level in the stomach, which can make your problem even more serious. Especially avoid eating raw Amla on an empty stomach.

3. If you are taking blood thinning medication

Amla also has blood thinning properties. This is a kind of natural blood thinner. If you are already taking blood-thinning medicines (such as aspirin or warfarin) prescribed by your doctor, then consuming Amla can be dangerous for you. This can increase the risk of bleeding in the body.

4. If you have any kidney problem

Amla contains a lot of Vitamin C, which can get converted into oxalate in the body. This oxalate can accumulate in the kidneys and form stones. Therefore, if you already have the problem of kidney stones or your kidneys are weak, then consume Amla in limited quantities only or do so after consulting a doctor.

5. Pregnant or lactating women

Although eating Amla in small quantities is considered safe for pregnant women, but its excessive quantity can cause stomach upset. Eating too much Amla can cause problems like diarrhea, stomach cramps or dehydration, which is not good during pregnancy.

In short, Amla is undoubtedly a mine of qualities, but not every superfood is super for everyone. If you have any of the problems mentioned above, then definitely consult your doctor before including Amla in your diet.
