Durian is known as the "king of fruits," however, durian and alcohol are incompatible and can easily lead to alcohol poisoning, and even endanger life. What other foods should be consumed with caution after drinking? Can eating durian while drinking be fatal? Experts say that because durian contains sulfur compounds, these substances can reduce the activity of human aldehyde dehydrogenase by more than 70%, which means that alcohol cannot be completely metabolized into harmless acetic acid for the human body. After drinking, it is precisely because the human body secretes aldehyde dehydrogenase that alcohol can be digested and then excreted. However, durian inhibits the production of this enzyme. After eating durian and then drinking, a person gets drunk more easily.
"After all, there is a ratio. If you eat less durian and drink less alcohol, it may not have much effect on the body. Once you eat too much durian and drink too much alcohol, it can easily lead to alcohol poisoning and even endanger life. Therefore, the saying that eating durian while drinking is fatal is true," the expert said.
What other foods not to eat after drinking
Experts say that hawthorn, persimmons or unripe jujubes should also be eaten with caution after drinking. Some citizens believe that eating hawthorn can promote digestion, which is actually wrong. They have a high pectin content. After excessive drinking, the stomach function is disordered, and this pectin is not easily digested, leading to stones, which ultimately affects health. In addition, sweet potatoes are high-sugar foods that can easily produce stomach acid. Eating sweet potatoes after drinking will have a叠加 effect on stomach stimulation. In addition, eating carrots with alcohol is very dangerous and is not good for the liver, especially do not drink alcohol immediately after drinking carrot juice.
When drinking white wine, try not to eat chives. White wine is very hot and contains about 60% ethanol. 1 gram of ethanol burns in the body to produce 7100 calories. Chives are also pungent and warm in nature. Eating chives and drinking white wine is like adding fuel to the fire. Long-term consumption can stir up blood, and patients with bleeding diseases are especially forbidden. White wine and walnuts are also not easy to eat at the same time. Walnuts are hot in nature, and eating too much can produce phlegm and stir up fire; white wine is sweet and pungent and very hot. Eating them together can easily lead to blood heat. People with a history of hemoptysis should especially avoid it. For example, patients with bronchiectasis and tuberculosis can cause hemoptysis by drinking white wine, and eating walnuts with it can also cause disease.
In addition, experts say that the saying that drinking fresh milk before drinking can protect the stomach is not scientific. Milk can protect the gastric mucosa, but once you drink too much, this protective layer actually has little effect. Experts believe that drinking strong tea after drinking a lot of alcohol not only cannot sober you up, but will also aggravate the stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract, ultimately harming health. The caffeine in strong tea will also stimulate gastric acid secretion, aggravating the damage to the gastric mucosa. After getting drunk, drinking strong tea, the theophylline in tea will quickly produce a diuretic effect through the kidneys, and the alcohol in the body will enter the kidneys before it is decomposed, thus harming people's health.
In addition, some citizens believe that drinking vinegar after drinking will speed up the digestion and absorption of alcohol by the stomach. Experts say this is also wrong. Drinking vinegar cannot help the metabolism of alcohol, on the contrary, it will further aggravate the stimulation to the gastrointestinal mucosa.
