It is not advisable to eat dog meat blindly. Avoid drinking tea after eating dog meat.
In the cold winter, people love to eat dog meat hot pot. Dog meat is not only tender, flavorful, and nutritious, but it also generates a lot of heat and has a strong ability to warm the body and resist the cold. Therefore, it is beneficial for some people with weak constitutions and illnesses like arthritis to eat more dog meat during the severe winter season. However, one must never eat dog meat blindly to avoid eating rabid-infected meat and contracting rabies. Do not drink tea after eating dog meat. This is because tannic acid in tea combines with the protein in dog meat to form a substance called tannic acid protein. This substance has a certain astringent effect, which can slow down intestinal peristalsis and reduce water in the stool. As a result, toxic and carcinogenic substances in the stool will stay in the intestines for too long and be easily absorbed by the body. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink tea immediately after eating dog meat.
Three things not to do with hot pot
When eating boiled lamb, it is not advisable to simply focus on the meat being "tender". Eating lamb slices that are only seven or eight percent cooked is flavorful, but this can easily lead to trichinosis. Second, it is not advisable to eat charcoal hot pot for too long. This is because when eating hot pot, there are often many people in a small room, the indoor temperature is high, and the air is not circulating, leading to a lack of oxygen. If the charcoal does not burn completely, it will produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, which can easily cause poisoning. Third, it is not advisable to drink too much hot pot broth. The ingredients for hot pot are mostly meat, seafood, and vegetables. After these ingredients are boiled together, the resulting thick broth contains a substance called "porphyrin" in extremely high concentrations. When metabolized by the liver, it produces uric acid, which can reduce kidney function, hinder excretion, and cause excessive uric acid to deposit in the blood and tissues, leading to gout.
It is not advisable to often eat dishes cooked in a clay pot
Dishes cooked in a clay pot, due to prolonged heating, can lead to the degradation of protein from animal ingredients, a weakening of the water's ability to dissolve, and a large amount of gelatinous liquid to be exuded, which increases the toughness and makes the texture poor when eaten,不利于人体的消化吸收. Moreover, the loss rate of minerals and vitamins in the ingredients is high when using a clay pot. Additionally, because the seal is quite tight, unpleasant-smelling substances in the ingredients are difficult to escape. Some pentanoic acid and low fatty acids remain in the ingredients and broth, and through heat reactions, they can generate substances harmful to the human body.
Do not drink overly hot beverages
Drinking beverages that are too hot can cause extensive damage to the skin and mucous membranes. Protein begins to denature at 43°C, gastrointestinal mucus undergoes irreversible degradation at 60°C, and blood cells, cultured cells, and transplanted organs all die at temperatures above 47°C. Therefore, do not often drink overly hot beverages in the winter.
Avoid eating sweet potatoes with black spots
Sweet potatoes with brown or black spots on their skin are contaminated by black spot bacteria. The toxins excreted by this bacteria contain ipomeamarone and ipomeamarol, which make the sweet potato hard and bitter, and are highly toxic to the human liver. The biological activity of this toxin cannot be destroyed by boiling, steaming, or roasting. Therefore, eating raw or cooked sweet potatoes with black spot disease can cause poisoning.
It is not advisable to eat too many oranges
Oranges are a fruit with relatively high calories. Eating too many at once, whether for adults or children, can lead to "internal heat," causing symptoms like a dry mouth, sore throat, and swollen throat. Therefore, oranges should not be eaten in excess. If you already have "internal heat," you can use 50 grams of washed and shredded kelp, boil it in water to make a tea, which can "reduce the heat."
Avoid eating under-pickled sauerkraut
Under-pickled sauerkraut contains a large amount of nitrite. Once it enters the human bloodstream, it oxidizes normal ferrous hemoglobin into ferric hemoglobin, causing red blood cells to lose their oxygen-carrying function. This leads to systemic oxygen deprivation, with symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and listlessness. Furthermore, nitrosamine compounds are also carcinogenic.
