Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that foods have both beneficial and antagonistic effects, and eggs, which we eat every day, are no exception! After eating eggs, there are 5 foods you should not eat. Let's take a look!
1. Sugar
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 should you eat sugar after eating eggs. In many places, there is a custom of eating sugar water poached eggs. In fact, this causes the amino acids in the egg's protein to form a compound with fructose-lysine. This substance is not easily absorbed by the human body, so it can have adverse effects on health.
2. Persimmon
Eating persimmons after eating eggs can lead to food poisoning, and in severe cases, acute gastroenteritis and lung stones. Generally, eating these two foods together can cause acute gastroenteritis symptoms mainly characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Therefore, if the time of consumption is within 1-2 hours, you can use the method of inducing vomiting. 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 crush fresh ginger to extract the juice and take it with warm water. If the time of consumption is longer, take some laxative as soon as possible to expel the toxic substances from the body.
3. Soy Milk
Every morning, mothers carefully prepare breakfast for their children, hoping they can get sufficient nutrition in the early morning. Therefore, many mothers will beat eggs into soy milk to make egg drop soup. Or they might let their children drink soy milk to quench their thirst after eating eggs.
In fact, soy milk, which is highly nourishing 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. Rabbit Meat
Eggs also cannot be eaten with rabbit meat, goose meat, and other meats. Li Shizhen said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Eating eggs with rabbit meat causes diarrhea." Because rabbit meat is sweet, cold, sour, and cool in nature, and eggs are sweet, neutral, and slightly cold, both contain some bioactive substances. Eating them together can cause a reaction that irritates the gastrointestinal tract, leading to diarrhea.
5. Soft-shelled Turtle Meat
Eggs have many other taboos that are less well-known because they are rarely paired together. For example, eating soft-shelled turtle meat after eating eggs can also lead to food poisoning. Furthermore, soft-shelled turtle meat itself is greasy and nourishing. People with colds or internal cold-dampness are generally advised not to eat it. In addition, its nature is salty and neutral, so pregnant women and those with poor digestive systems after childbirth cannot eat it.
