Tofu can be said to be one of our country's most traditional foods, not only is its texture tender and smooth, but it also contains extremely rich nutrition. Although it is nutritious, some people cannot enjoy it.
1. Gout patients
Because the raw material of tofu is soybeans, and soybeans contain extremely rich purines, therefore, for patients with gout, it is best not to eat tofu in excess. The purines in tofu will increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood of gout patients. Coupled with the patient's own purine metabolism disorder, eating tofu will also increase the uric acid level in the patient's body, thus aggravating the condition.
2. People with a cold stomach
The nature of tofu is偏寒 (cold), so for some people with a weaker constitution, especially women who suffer from a cold stomach and a cold uterus, it is forbidden to eat it in excess. Especially for patients with a cold stomach, if they eat too much tofu in their daily lives, it will lead to symptoms such as chest tightness and nausea, so it is best not to eat tofu.
3. People taking tetracycline drugs
When taking tetracycline drugs, it is best to eat as little or no tofu as possible. This is because the production process contains more calcium, and the gypsum made from brine contains more magnesium. Tetracycline reacts with calcium and magnesium, reducing the bactericidal effect.
The people who are not suitable for eating tofu are not only these, but they are indeed the most typical representatives. Therefore, before eating a lot of tofu, first check your own constitution to avoid endless future troubles.
