Introduction
Durian is rich in protein, fat, and various trace elements, providing energy to the body. "Chili Yangmei" (a fruit combining the spiciness of chili with the sour-sweet flavor of yangmei) can stimulate appetite by combining the pungency of chili with the sour-sweetness of yangmei. When consumed in moderation, the nutritional components of both do not conflict, and they can enhance flavor experiences while supplying diverse nutrients to the body. However, durian is a high-calorie fruit, and excessive consumption may easily increase the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Generally speaking, it is okay to consume chili waxberry after eating durian, but the quantity should be controlled to avoid excessive intake of spicy and high-calorie foods. The specific analysis is as follows:

Durian is rich in protein, fat, and various trace elements, which can help replenish energy for the body; chili waxberry combines the spiciness of chili peppers with the sour-sweet taste of waxberries, which can stimulate appetite. When consumed in moderation, the nutrients in these foods do not conflict with each other and can enrich the sensory experience while providing diverse nutrition to the body.

However, durian is a high-calorie fruit, and excessive consumption can increase the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Eating chili waxberry at this time may further irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa due to the spiciness of chili peppers and the organic acids in waxberries, increasing the risk of bloating and abdominal pain. For individuals allergic to spicy foods or waxberries, consuming chili waxberry may trigger allergic reactions such as skin itching and difficulty breathing. Additionally, durian consumption can easily elevate blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes, and further intake of waxberries, which are high in sugar, is not conducive to maintaining stable blood glucose levels.

In daily diets, foods should be reasonably combined. If a feeling of fullness is already present after eating durian, it is recommended to reduce or avoid eating chili waxberry. If discomfort occurs, adjust the diet promptly to maintain good health.
