What should not be eaten with chicken?
Disease description:
I personally really enjoy eating chicken. At home, we usually have dishes like chicken stewed with potatoes or chicken soup made from old hens. However, we often prepare other dishes besides chicken. Nowadays, there are many foods that are considered incompatible. Doctor, what foods shouldn't be consumed with chicken?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Chicken should be avoided when consuming the following foods:
1. Avoid excessive fats: Chicken itself contains a certain amount of fat, especially subcutaneous fat. If large amounts of oil are added during cooking, such as through frying or sautéing with heavy oil, it may lead to excessive intake of saturated fat and calories, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
2. Monitor protein intake: Chicken is a good source of high-quality protein. However, excessive protein intake may place a burden on the kidneys. Therefore, when consuming chicken, it is advisable to pair it moderately with fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits to promote digestion and nutritional balance.
3. Avoid consumption with medications: Certain components in chicken may affect the absorption or metabolism of some medications, such as anticoagulants and antibiotics. The specific effects may vary from person to person; therefore, it is recommended to consult a doctor while taking medications.
In addition, chicken should also be avoided when consumed with tea, glutinous rice, celery, chrysanthemum, and similar items to prevent interference with nutrient absorption or causing physical discomfort.
