What can't you eat with prawns?

Prawns are cold foods and cannot be eaten with fruits, etc., because the protein in prawns will produce a chemical reaction with the vitamin C in fruits, which will lead to the formation of arsenic, seriously affecting the health of the body. Therefore, as to which foods cannot be eaten with prawns, it is recommended that you read the following content to learn about the precautions when eating prawns.

Foods that cannot be eaten with shrimp.

1. Foods rich in vitamin C.

Shrimp meat contains high concentrations of pentavalent arsenic compounds, which are harmless to the human body in themselves. However, if a large amount of vitamin C is taken at the same time, the pentavalent arsenic will be reduced to trivalent arsenic, that is, arsenic trioxide, commonly known as arsenic, which can cause acute arsenic poisoning.

Fruits rich in vitamin C: such as lemons, citrus fruits, etc.; Vegetables rich in vitamin C: tomatoes, carrots, green peppers, etc.

2. Foods with high tannic acid content.

Shrimp meat contains high levels of protein, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients. If eaten with foods high in tannic acid, not only will the nutritional content of the shrimp meat be reduced, but the calcium in it will also combine with tannic acid to form a substance that is difficult to digest, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain.

Fruits with high tannic acid content: persimmon, grape, pomegranate, hawthorn, etc.; beverages with high tannic acid content: various types of tea; vegetables with high tannic acid content: water spinach.

3. Other types of food that cannot be eaten with shrimps.

① Pumpkin : Pumpkin has extremely high nutritional value. It can enhance the body's immunity and sexual function, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, and resist premature aging. However, shrimp cannot be eaten with pumpkin, because eating them together will cause dysentery (one of the acute intestinal infectious diseases). Black beans and licorice can be used to detoxify.

② Fruit juice: Fruit juice (especially orange juice, pear juice, etc.) contains a lot of vitamin C, which can easily lead to vitamin C overdose poisoning.

③Soybeans: Soybeans are rich in protein and aid digestion, but eating them with shrimps can cause symptoms such as indigestion.

④ Red dates: Red dates are rich in vitamins. Eating red dates and shrimps together will cause the vitamins in the red dates to reduce arsenic pentoxide in the shrimps or shrimp skins into arsenic trioxide (arsenic), thus causing poisoning.

⑤ Golden melon: Golden melon is cold in nature and sweet in taste. It has the effects of relieving gas and asthma, clearing away heat and removing phlegm. However, shrimp is warm in nature, sweet and salty in taste, and has the effects of nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang, strengthening the stomach and replenishing qi, removing phlegm and fighting cancer. If the nature, taste and effects of the two are opposite, eating them together will cause dysentery (a disease that is more serious than diarrhea), which will have a certain harmful effect on physical health.

⑥Pork and chicken: Shrimp should not be eaten with pork and chicken, as it will cause liver and kidney failure. The historical book “Yinshi Zhengyao” records: “Shrimp should not be eaten with pork, as it will damage the essence.”

I have to remind my friends that although shrimp meat is delicious, don’t eat too much.
