What should not be eaten with hyacinth beans?
Disease description:
Today, my family bought some hyacinth beans (Dolichos lablab) and wanted to stir-fry them with some vegetables. However, I always remember that hyacinth beans also have many dietary禁忌 (taboos). I would like to ask clearly: what foods should not be consumed together with hyacinth beans?

The following are some foods that should not be consumed with lentils:
1. High-oxalate foods: such as water spinach, cabbage, and spinach. The calcium, iron, and other substances in lentils may combine with oxalate to form calcium oxalate, which is difficult for the human body to absorb. Long-term consumption may increase the risk of kidney stones.
2. Fruits high in vitamin C that promote oxalate absorption: such as citrus fruits. Vitamin C can enhance oxalate absorption and precipitation. When combined with oxalate in lentils, it may increase the loss of calcium ions, which is detrimental to bone health.
3. High-fat foods: such as nuts and fried chicken. Lentils naturally contain a significant amount of dietary fiber, while high-fat foods can burden the digestive system. Consuming them together may interfere with the absorption of nutrients in lentils.
4. Raw or cold foods: lentils are generally neutral to warm in nature and help strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach. Therefore, they should not be consumed with raw or cold foods such as raw vegetable salads or chilled beverages. Raw or cold foods may impair the yang energy of the spleen and stomach, reducing the warming and nourishing effects of lentils, especially for individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold.
If you have any special health conditions, it is recommended to adjust your diet under the guidance of a professional doctor or nutritionist.
