The harm of eating betel nut for girls

Betel nut, also known as Binmen, Renpin, Renlang, Ximaodan, Xianmaodan, and Luoguo, is still eaten in many parts of Asia, such as Taiwan, Indonesia, and Hainan. The habit of chewing betel nut is still preserved. Little do people know what harm eating betel nuts can cause to girls? The following is a detailed introduction to the harm of eating betel nuts for girls.

1. Eating betel nut will harm periodontal tissues for girls. Because betel nut fibers are very thick and hard, they can pierce the gums or block the gaps between teeth, causing compression and inflammation of the interdental papillae. Chewing hard can also damage the periodontal membrane, leading to inflammation, edema, and pain around the gums. On the other hand, due to the deposition of lime and betel nut sediment, dental plaque will become harder and harder, causing gum damage, swelling, suppuration, tooth root exposure, etc., leading to periodontal disease, and even the front teeth will fall out one by one or have to be extracted. For girls, tooth loss is very damaging to their image.

2. Chewing betel nut can cause oral submucous fibrosis and leukoplakia, which is the early stage of oral cancer. Its clinical manifestations include difficulty in opening the mouth, pain, discomfort, whitening of the oral mucosa and ulcers.

3. Betel nut juice stains blacken the lips, teeth and cheeks, affecting appearance, damaging taste buds and saliva secretion, hindering digestion and absorption function. Betel nut residue irritates the gastric mucosa, causing gastric mucosal inflammation and even perforation, affecting nutrient absorption and leading to malnutrition.

In general, eating betel nut is very harmful to girls. It is recommended that everyone should not take it too much, but take it moderately. Moderate consumption has certain benefits to physical and mental health.
