荔枝 vs 紅毛丹
水果控：「紅毛丹和荔枝很相似，它跟荔枝一樣容易令人上火嗎？」
CheckCheckCin：夏天是荔枝當造之時，從中醫角度來看，荔枝性熱，有養血、生津、理氣止痛的功效，適合體質偏寒、病後津液不足、氣血兩虧及貧血的人適量食用。但由於性熱，多吃容易上火，體質偏熱的人吃後容易出現喉嚨痛、生口瘡及生暗瘡等熱氣症狀。
紅毛丹別名毛荔枝，性熱，有滋養強壯、補血的作用，適合體質偏寒、體質虛弱、氣血不足、血壓偏低、頭暈氣短、慢性腹瀉下痢人士適量食用。由於性熱，與荔枝一樣不適合體質偏熱的人多吃，否則亦容易上火。
紅毛丹的外型的確像長了毛的荔枝，兩者同屬無患子科植物的果實，果皮與果肉的顏色都很相似，荔枝果肉水份豐富亦比較甜，紅毛丹果肉則較為香脆。吃荔枝要小心得到「荔枝病」，大量空腹食用荔枝後出現低血糖，引致頭暈噁心、腹痛肚瀉、抽搐、血壓下降等症狀，所以要注意不宜空腹吃，成年人每天不要吃多於十粒，而小童每天不宜吃多於五粒；紅毛丹則沒有此顧慮，但也要適可而止。

Lychee vs Rambutan
“Rambutan and lychee look quite similar, so will eating rambutan increase heat in the body, just as lychee does?”
CheckCheckCin: From the Chinese medicine perspective, lychee, a kind of summer fruit, is hot in nature and can nourish blood, promote saliva secretion, regulate qi, and relieve pain. They are suitable for individuals with cold body conditions, with dehydration issues during recovery from illness, lack of qi and blood as well as those suffering from anemia. However, eating too much lychee can cause excessive heat in the body due to the hot nature of the fruit. Individuals with hot conditions might easily develop heat-related symptoms such as sore throat, mouth ulcers and ache when they consume lychee.
Rambutan, also known as “hairy lychee”, is hot in nature and able to strengthen one’s stamina and nourish blood. When an appropriate amount is consumed, rambutan is suitable for those with cold body conditions, weak physique, qi and blood deficiency, low blood pressure, headache and shortness of breath, chronic diarrhea and dysentery. Just like lychee, rambutan is not suitable for individuals with hot body conditions, as it might cause excessive heat to the body when consumed.
Other than the similarity in both their outer and inner appearances, both lychee and rambutan also belong to the Sapindaceae genus. While lychee has more flesh that is succulent and is sweet in taste; rambutan is crunchier and gives out a pleasant fragrance.
Do take note of the “lychee illness”, which is consuming it with an empty stomach might result in low sugar level, leading to headache and nausea, stomach upset and diarrhea, convulsion, and a decrease in blood pressure. Both adults and children should limit the intake of lychee to less than 10 and 5 a day, respectively. Rambutan, on the other hand, is not subjected to the potential issues above, so long as it is consumed at an appropriate amount.
