What should seafood not be eaten with? How to deal with skin allergies after eating it
For people living inland, going out for a big seafood meal is not as cheap as it is for friends along the coast, but friends who love seafood should know the answers to these questions: what should seafood not be eaten with? And what should you do if you get skin allergies after eating it?
1. What should seafood not be eaten with?
Basically, any edible animal or plant ingredient that comes from the sea can be called seafood, among which fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish are the more popular ones. Although seafood tastes very good and is very nutritious, note that it should not be eaten together with the following foods:
1. Seafood should not be eaten with alcohol (red wine, beer): eating seafood with alcohol easily disrupts the metabolism of purines in the human body, thereby causing an increase in uric acid in the blood, which raises the chance of developing diseases such as gout and kidney stones.
2. Seafood should not be eaten with cold drinks, ice cream, popsicles and the like: if you eat ice cream and cold drinks after eating seafood, it is very easy to cause diarrhea.
3. Seafood should not be eaten with cooling foods such as bitter melon, wild rice stem, water spinach, purslane, lily bulb and tomato: seafood itself is a cooling food, and if you eat other cooling foods as well it will cause physical discomfort and can also easily lead to abdominal pain and diarrhea.
4. Seafood should not be eaten with tea: eating seafood and drinking tea easily makes the chemical substances in the two react, and it easily forms hard-to-dissolve calcium, which has a bad effect on the body.
5. Seafood should not be eaten with fruits containing tannic acid such as grapes, oranges, persimmons and hawthorn: eating these tannic acid-containing fruits after seafood easily produces indigestible substances and can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
6. Seafood should not be eaten with vitamin C or fruits high in vitamin C: because the arsenic contained in seafood reacts chemically with vitamin C to form a toxic substance, thereby causing accidental poisoning, so do pay attention.
2. What should you do if you get skin allergies after eating seafood?
1. The cause of seafood allergies is the foreign proteins in it, and a mild seafood allergy causes red rashes on the body and face, a moderate allergy causes swelling of the lips and tongue, numbness of the limbs, nausea, vomiting and itchy skin, and a severe allergy can cause death.
2. If an allergic reaction occurs after eating seafood, you must take anti-allergy medication, and you must be sent to the hospital promptly for specialized allergy treatment.
3. In fact, friends with an allergic constitution should best eat less or no seafood, and pregnant women and children should also avoid eating seafood.
3. Who should not eat seafood?
1. People with skin allergies and skin diseases should not eat it: seafood itself very easily causes allergies, and people with skin diseases who eat seafood easily worsen their condition.
2. People with liver cirrhosis should not eat seafood: for such patients, eating seafood easily causes bleeding and worsens the condition.
3. People with arthritis should not eat seafood: the purines in some seafood can worsen arthritis.
4. Pregnant women and breastfeeding women should not eat seafood: not to mention that seafood easily causes allergies, the mercury in seafood easily affects the growth and development of the fetus and newborn.
5. People with renal insufficiency or kidney disease should not eat seafood: the protein in seafood increases the burden on the kidneys and more easily worsens the condition.
So although seafood is delicious, be sure to avoid eating it together with the foods above.
