Combining incompatible foods often causes digestive problems or poor nutrient absorption, even affecting health.
Animal liver and carrots, celery
According to nutritionists, animal liver contains many heavy metals, with copper and iron being the major ones. These micronutrients, when taken into the body through food and drink, combined with vitamins, will change them.
Celery and carrots contain a lot of cellulose and oxalic acid. Eating these two vegetables will reduce the ability to absorb iron. Therefore, the iron in animal liver will stay in the body for a long time, affecting the amount of vitamins we have.
Soy milk and eggs
Soy milk contains many ingredients such as fat, vitamins, protein, calcium... the most important ingredient is protidaza enzyme. This enzyme, when combined with protein in eggs, hinders the body's digestive process, leading to indigestion.
In addition, egg whites combined with trypsin in soy milk also make it difficult for the body to absorb, causing loss of nutrients from eggs and soy milk.
Tofu and green onions
Tofu with onions is a familiar dish in Vietnamese daily meals, however, when these two ingredients are combined together, it causes indigestion. Because tofu contains a lot of calcium, green onions contain oxalic acid. When eaten together, it will create calcium oxalic precipitation, which has a negative effect on the digestive system.
You should not eat too much tofu because the fermentation process is often carried out in natural conditions, easily creating contaminated microorganisms and pathogenic microorganisms.
Cow's milk and oranges
Cow's milk is a food that contains many nutrients that are good for the body, especially protein. The protein in cow's milk, specifically casein, will be precipitated, deposited, and lead to indigestion by the ingredients in oranges and tangerines. People should not eat oranges and tangerines within 1 hour of drinking milk.
Dog meat, goat meat and tea
Dog meat and goat meat are two foods that are rich in protein, have a warming effect while tea is astringent. Caffeine in tea, along with tannin and protein in dog meat and goat meat, when combined, will inhibit each other, causing coagulation of the digestive tract, causing bloating and indigestion, leading to constipation. Do not drink tea immediately after eating dog meat or goat meat.
White radish and pear, apple, grape
White radish is a root vegetable that contains a lot of protein, calcium, sulfur... Pears, apples, and grapes also provide many nutrients that are very good for health. However, these fruits have a common ingredient called ketone. When ketone combines with sulfuric cyanogenic acid in white radish, it will cause denaturation, thereby increasing the risk of goiter and hypothyroidism.
