We all know about the theory of food incompatibility, and research shows that this saying is not without reason. Some foods should not be eaten together, as it may affect your health. Be very careful in our daily diet.
When protein enters the gastrointestinal tract, it is broken down into amino acids by pepsin and trypsin secreted by the pancreas, and then absorbed by the small intestine. Soy milk contains a trypsin inhibitor substance that can destroy the activity of trypsin, affecting the digestion and absorption of protein. Eggs contain a mucoprotein that can bind with trypsin, rendering trypsin ineffective and thus hindering the breakdown of protein.
Don't mix scallions with tofu, and don't cook spinach with tofu in a soup. This is because the oxalic acid in scallions and spinach easily combines with the calcium in tofu to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which affects the body's absorption of calcium. Long-term consumption can easily lead to stones.
Tofu is sweet, salty, cold in nature, and slightly toxic. It can clear heat, invigorate blood, and purge turbidity from the large intestine. Honey is sweet, cool, and smooth, and contains various enzymes; tofu also contains various minerals, plant proteins, and organic acids. The two can cause adverse biochemical reactions when consumed together. Therefore, you should not eat honey after consuming tofu, and it is especially not advisable to eat them at the same time.
The most prominent feature of jujubes is their high vitamin content. They can tonify the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and generate fluids, nourish the heart and moisten the lungs, nourish blood and calm the spirit, improve complexion, open the nine orifices, assist the twelve meridians, and harmonize with other medicines. Scallions contain volatile oils with a pungent odor and alliin, which can remove odors from greasy dishes, produce a special aroma, and stimulate the secretion of digestive juices to increase appetite. Jujubes tonify the spleen and stomach, and scallions can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, but combining the two can lead to disharmony of the spleen and stomach.
Ladies who love to make fruit salads, please note that cantaloupe and banana cannot be put together. This is because cantaloupe has a sugar content of about 15% and a high potassium ion content. Bananas are also rich in potassium. According to tests, every 100 grams of banana contains 283-472 milligrams of potassium. Therefore, people with renal failure and oliguria should not eat bananas and cantaloupe, which are both high in potassium, at the same time, to avoid making a bad situation worse.
River shrimp and tomato are like lemon shrimp, because tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C. When combined with the arsenic in shrimp, a chemical reaction occurs, converting it into toxic arsenic trioxide. This can paralyze capillaries, inhibit the activity of sulfhydryl enzymes, cause fatty degeneration and centrilobular necrosis of the liver, congestion of the heart, liver, kidneys, and intestines, necrosis of epithelial cells, and dilation of capillaries. However, eating a very small amount will not cause severe poisoning symptoms; it depends on personal choice.
Although oranges and lemons have the effect of strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion, people with gastric ulcers and excessive stomach acid should not eat them at the same time. The fruit acid in oranges and lemons is higher than in other fruits, and large amounts can promote the secretion of gastric acid, worsening ulcers. Especially lemons, which are quite acidic with a pH below 2.8, should not be eaten on an empty stomach, as this can easily damage the stomach and lead to gastric mucosal damage. In severe cases, it can even lead to ulcerative gastric perforation.
Ladies who love beauty, please note that eating bananas and potatoes together can cause spots on your face! Potatoes contain protein, sugar, fat, carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C, inorganic salts (mostly potassium salts), and a small amount of solanine. Bananas contain fructose, glucose, protein, fat, carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C, E, niacin, pectin, calcium, phosphorus, iron, 5-hydroxytryptamine, norepinephrine, and other components. When potatoes and bananas are eaten together, a chemical reaction occurs between them, producing toxins that can cause spots on the face. However, if there is a 15-minute interval between eating them, you can avoid getting spots on your face.
