Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
It is recommended to avoid consuming oranges together with the following foods:
1. Milk: The fruit acids in oranges can combine with the proteins in milk, forming indigestible clumps that may interfere with protein absorption and potentially cause stomach discomfort. It is advised to wait at least one hour after eating oranges before consuming dairy products.
2. Shrimp: The vitamin C abundant in oranges may react with certain components in shrimp, producing harmful substances. Long-term or excessive consumption could negatively affect health.
3. Pork: Some substances in oranges may combine with proteins in pork, potentially forming indigestible compounds that can lead to digestive problems such as nausea and abdominal bloating.
4. Clams: Clams are considered to have a cold nature, and consuming them together with oranges may interfere with vitamin C absorption, reducing nutritional value.
5. Medications: Components in oranges such as naringin may affect the metabolism of certain drugs, especially antihypertensive medications, antiarrhythmic drugs, and immunosuppressants, potentially leading to enhanced drug effects or increased side effects.
