Can seafood and cola be eaten together?

Many people like to eat seafood. As we all know, seafood is very high in protein and not high in fat. Seafood is very popular, especially in summer. It is a very comfortable life to eat seafood with three or five friends and drink beer or cola. However, it is best not to eat too much seafood and cola at one time.

What can't be eaten with seafood?

Seafood should not be eaten with large amounts of vitamin C

Shrimp, crab and other crustacean seafood contain a certain high concentration of "pentavalent arsenic", which itself is harmless to the human body. However, when taking a large amount of vitamin C at the same time, "pentavalent arsenic" will be converted into "trivalent arsenic" (that is, arsenic trioxide, commonly known as arsenic), which can cause acute arsenic poisoning; in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.

Seafood should not be eaten with cold foods

Seafood is cold in nature, so it is best to avoid eating it with cold foods, such as vegetables such as water spinach and cucumber. You should not drink iced drinks such as soda, ice water, and ice cream immediately after a meal. Also, be careful to eat less or no cold fruits such as watermelon and pear to avoid physical discomfort.

Seafood cannot be eaten with beer or red wine

Eating seafood and drinking a lot of beer at the same time will produce too much uric acid, which can cause gout. Excessive uric acid will be deposited in the joints or soft tissues, causing inflammation of the joints and soft tissues.

Seafood cannot be eaten with fruit

Seafood such as fish, shrimp, and crab are rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium (calcium foods). Fruits such as lion, grapes, pomegranates, hawthorns, and green fruits contain more tannic acid. If you eat fruit immediately after eating seafood, it will not only affect the body's absorption of protein, but the calcium in seafood will also combine with the tannic acid in the fruit to form insoluble calcium, which will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and even cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. It is best to wait for more than 2 hours before eating.

What not to eat after eating seafood

Do not drink cold drinks such as soda, ice water, or ice cream immediately after eating seafood.

Also, you should eat less or no cold fruits such as watermelon and pear to avoid causing physical discomfort.

Eating fruits such as grapes, hawthorn, pomegranate, persimmon, etc. after a meal can cause vomiting, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. Because these fruits contain tannic acid, when they come into contact with protein in aquatic products, they will precipitate and coagulate, forming substances that are difficult to digest. People should wait for more than 4 hours after eating seafood before eating such fruits.

It is not advisable to drink tea immediately after eating seafood. The reason why you shouldn't drink tea after eating seafood is similar to the reason why you shouldn't eat fruit. Because tea also contains tannic acid, it can also form insoluble calcium with the calcium in seafood. Eating seafood before or after eating seafood will increase the chance of calcium combining with tannic acid. Therefore, it is best not to drink tea when eating seafood, and it is best to leave a gap of more than 2 hours.
