Some incompatible foods

Leek + beef: Eating them together can easily cause poisoning, which can be detoxified with human milk and drum juice

Leek + dried shrimp: affects the absorption of nutrients

Leek + milk: Milk contains calcium; calcium is the main component of bones and teeth.

Eating milk mixed with leeks, which contain a lot of oxalic acid, will affect the absorption of calcium.

Leek + honey: eating together will hinder blood circulation

Vegetables + garlic sprouts: affect digestion

Leek + spinach: diarrhea

Milk - Fruit Juice: Milk is rich in protein, more than 80% of which is cool protein. Cool protein will coagulate and precipitate in an acidic environment with a pH value lower than 4.6, which is not conducive to digestion and absorption and causes indigestion. Therefore, it is not advisable to add acidic beverages such as fruit juice and juice when mixing milk.

Seafood - Fruit: Fish, shrimp, and algae are rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium. If they are eaten with fruits containing tannins, it will not only reduce the nutritional value of the protein, but also easily cause the protein in the seafood to combine with tannins. This substance can irritate the mucous membrane, forming indigestible substances, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Meat - Tea: The large amount of tannic acid in tea combines with protein to produce astringent tannic acid protein, which slows down intestinal peristalsis, prolongs the retention time of feces in the intestine, and causes constipation.

White wine - carrots: Carrots are rich in carotene. When they enter the human body together with alcohol, they will produce toxins in the liver, thereby damaging liver function.

Salted fish - lactic acid beverage: Salted fish should not be consumed with lactic acid beverages, because the nitrate in salted fish products is reduced to nitrite under the action of lactic acid bacteria, and carcinogens are produced under the catalysis of thiocyanate in saliva, which may cause cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and other digestive organs.
