Doctor's answer (1)
River shrimp is a common seafood ingredient that is rich in nutrients, containing high-quality protein, various vitamins, and minerals, especially trace elements such as zinc and iodine. To ensure food safety and health, below are several types of foods that are not recommended to be consumed with river shrimp:
1. Foods rich in vitamin C: River shrimp should not be consumed with foods high in vitamin C, such as lemons, oranges, and tomatoes, as this may increase the risk of vitamin C overdose and toxicity.
2. Foods high in tannic acid: The protein in river shrimp may combine with tannic acid from these foods to form substances that are difficult to digest, which can interfere with digestion and absorption and may even cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid consuming river shrimp with foods that have high tannic acid content.
3. Cold-natured foods: River shrimp is considered warm in nature, while cold-natured foods are cooling. Consuming them together may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, especially for individuals with cold deficiency of the spleen and stomach, who should avoid such combinations.
Proper dietary pairing and attention to food interactions can help maximize the nutritional benefits of food.
