Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
When consuming pigeon meat, attention should be paid to food pairing to avoid eating it with the following foods:
1. Foods rich in oxalic acid or calcium, such as tofu, celery, and spinach: The oxalic acid or calcium in these foods may combine with components in pigeon meat, potentially affecting the absorption and utilization of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, and even forming indigestible substances that may impair digestive function.
2. Persimmons: Persimmons contain large amounts of tannic acid, which can combine with the protein in pigeon meat to form indigestible precipitates, affecting digestion and absorption.
3. Milk: Milk contains high levels of calcium, which may combine with phosphorus in pigeon meat and potentially affect the absorption and utilization of calcium.
4. Heat-inducing foods: Such as eggs, fish and shrimp, lamb, and pork. These foods are considered heat-inducing, similar to pigeon meat. Consuming them together may cause excessive internal heat, potentially leading to gastrointestinal disturbances.
5. Iced beer: Consuming iced beer together with high-fat pigeon meat may easily cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea.
When handling and cooking pigeon meat, ensure it is thoroughly cooked to kill any potential bacteria and parasites, thus avoiding the risk of food poisoning.
