Duck neck, as a common ingredient, contains abundant nutrients such as protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Consuming it in moderation is beneficial to health. However, when eating duck neck, one should also pay attention to avoiding simultaneous consumption with certain other foods, to prevent adverse reactions or interference with nutrient absorption.
Avoid consuming with cold-natured foods. Duck neck tends to be cooling in nature; if consumed together with other cold-natured foods such as watermelon or pear, it may intensify internal coldness, leading to indigestion or diarrhea. Individuals with deficiency-cold in the spleen and stomach should especially avoid such combinations.
Duck neck should not be consumed in large quantities together with high-protein foods. Since duck neck itself is high in protein, consuming it together with large amounts of other high-protein foods such as beef or seafood may increase the burden on the kidneys, particularly harmful to those with impaired kidney function.
In addition, various seasonings such as garlic, ginger, and chili peppers may be added during the processing of duck neck. These ingredients themselves have a certain degree of irritation; consuming them together with duck neck may加重 the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort.
While enjoying delicious food, attention should also be paid to dietary combinations and moderate intake to maintain good health.
