According to relevant information, grapes contain sugars such as glucose, sucrose, fructose, and xylose; acids such as citric acid, malic acid, and citric acid.
They also contain nutrients like protein, carotene, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium, and are particularly beneficial for the brain. Wen Caihong, a nutritionist at the city's Second People's Hospital, points out that improper consumption of grapes can also lead to physical discomfort.
Wen Caihong explains that you should not drink water immediately after eating grapes, as it can lead to diarrhea in less than fifteen minutes. Grapes themselves have a laxative effect on the bowels. If you drink water right after eating, the stomach acid is diluted before the stomach can digest and absorb the water. The grapes, water, and stomach acid then rapidly oxidize and ferment, accelerating intestinal movement and causing diarrhea.
Grapes and milk cannot be eaten together because the fruit acid in grapes can cause the protein in milk to coagulate. This not only affects absorption but can also lead to symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea in severe cases. Therefore, you should eat grapes at least one hour after drinking milk.
Avoid eating grapes when consuming seafood. Eating grapes, hawthorn, pomegranates, persimmons, and other fruits with seafood can cause symptoms like vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. This is because these fruits contain tannic acid, which reacts with the protein in seafood to form coagulated precipitates that are difficult to digest.
You must rinse your mouth after eating grapes. Some grapes contain various fermentable sugars that are highly corrosive to teeth and can easily cause cavities.
