Introduction
Crucian carp is rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and various trace elements, providing essential nutrients to the body. Yangmei fruit wine is made by steeping yangmei fruits and contains fruit acids, alcohol, and small amounts of vitamins; moderate consumption can help improve appetite. When consumed together, if the amount of yangmei fruit wine consumed is small, there is no significant conflict between the protein and fruit acids.

Generally speaking, crucian carp and bayberry wine can be consumed together, but attention should be paid to controlling the intake when eating them. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Crucian carp is rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and various trace elements, which provide essential nutrients for the body. Bayberry wine, made by soaking bayberries, contains fruit acids, alcohol, and small amounts of vitamins. Consuming moderate amounts of bayberry wine may improve appetite. When consumed together, if the amount of bayberry wine is small, the protein and fruit acids do not cause obvious conflicts and the flavor of the dish can be enhanced by its sour and sweet taste, making it suitable for occasional consumption by healthy individuals.

However, bayberry wine contains alcohol, excessive consumption of which may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa. When combined with the high protein content of crucian carp, it may increase the metabolic burden on the liver, causing discomfort such as nausea and abdominal distension. For individuals allergic to alcohol or suffering from liver disease, drinking bayberry wine may trigger rashes or abnormal liver function; patients with gout should be cautious about the high purine content in crucian carp, as alcohol can inhibit uric acid excretion, and consuming both together may increase the risk of gout attacks.

In addition, in daily diets, one should maintain balanced nutrition and diversified food intake, avoiding excessive consumption of any single food item to promote overall health.
