Eggs should not be boiled with monosodium glutamate, a fact that many housewives are already aware of. But you may not know that eggs should not be boiled with sugar, nor is it okay to eat sugar after eating eggs.
1. Do not eat sugar immediately after eating eggs
In many places, there is a custom of eating sugar water with poached eggs. In fact, this causes the amino acids in the egg's protein to form a compound with fructoselysine. This substance is not easily absorbed by the human body, so it can have adverse effects on health.
2. Do not eat persimmons immediately after eating eggs
Eating persimmons after eating eggs can lead to food poisoning, and in severe cases, it can cause acute gastroenteritis and lung stones. Generally, consuming these two foods together will lead to acute gastroenteritis symptoms characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Therefore, if the time of consumption is within 1-2 hours, the method of inducing vomiting can be used. Immediately dissolve 20g of salt in 200ml of boiling water, let it cool, and drink it at once. If you do not vomit, you can drink it several times to quickly induce vomiting. Alternatively, you can mash fresh ginger, extract the juice, and take it with warm water. If a longer time has passed since consumption, take some laxatives as soon as possible to expel the toxic substances from the body.
3. Do not drink soy milk immediately after eating eggs
Every morning, mothers carefully prepare breakfast for their children, hoping they will get sufficient nutrition in the early morning. Therefore, many mothers will beat egg flakes into soy milk. Or let the child drink soy milk to quench their thirst after eating eggs. In fact, soy milk, which has strong nourishing properties on its own, contains a special substance called trypsin. It combines with conalbumin in the egg white, causing a loss of nutritional value and reducing the nutritional value of both.
4. Do not eat goose or rabbit meat immediately after eating eggs
Eggs also cannot be eaten with meats such as rabbit or goose. Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Eating eggs with rabbit meat causes diarrhea." This is because rabbit meat is sweet, cold, and sour in nature, while eggs are sweet, neutral, and slightly cold. Both contain some bioactive substances, and eating them together can cause a reaction that irritates the gastrointestinal tract, leading to diarrhea.
5. Do not eat soft-shelled turtle meat immediately after eating eggs
Eggs have many other taboos that are little known because they are rarely combined in daily meals. For example, eating soft-shelled turtle meat after eating eggs can also lead to food poisoning. Soft-shelled turtle meat itself is greasy and nourishing, and people with colds or internal cold-dampness are generally advised not to eat it. Furthermore, it is salty and neutral in nature, so pregnant women and those with poor digestive systems after childbirth cannot eat it.
6. Do not take anti-inflammatory drugs immediately after eating eggs
Eggs are rich in protein, and protein intake should be paid special attention to during inflammation. Therefore, when inflammation occurs, remember not to take medicine after eating eggs. This is especially true for digestive diseases with diarrhea symptoms, as eating eggs is even more forbidden. Because eggs are high in protein, they will加重 the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, affecting the drug's efficacy, especially for fatty diarrhea. If it is other types of inflammation, such as in the respiratory or urinary systems, from a Western medicine perspective, there is not much impact.
7. Do not drink tea immediately after eating eggs
Many people like to drink tea to cut the grease after eating eggs, especially those who enjoy morning tea to refresh themselves. However, at this time, you are actually overlooking a point: drinking tea after eating eggs is harmful to health. Because tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which combines with protein to form tannic acid protein, an astringent substance. This slows down intestinal peristalsis, prolongs the time feces stays in the intestines, and not only easily causes constipation but also increases the possibility of the body absorbing toxic and carcinogenic substances, harming human health.
