Common wisdom: Food and medicine are interchangeable, and food is better than medicine.However, supplementing with food also needs to be scientific. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "five elements generate and inhibit each other," some foods cannot be eaten together.If so, it is best to separate them by at least 2 hours.Recently, the saying “PersimmonandMilkcan be eaten together” has been circulating online.Is this really the case?In fact, persimmons and milk are incompatible and cannot be eaten together.Why can't persimmons and milk be eaten together?Let's find out below.

Can persimmons and milk be eaten together?

Can persimmons and milk be eaten together?This statement is incorrect.Milk should not be eaten with foods containing tannins, such as tea and persimmons. These foods easily react with milk to form new, indigestible substances, reducingnutritional value of proteinand causing gastrointestinal discomfort, such as stomach pain, vomiting, and nausea.

In addition, fruits such asPomegranate.Grapes.Oranges.Chinese plumsgreen fruits, jujubes,PersimmonswildPearand dried fruits such asWalnutandPeach, as well as beverages such as tea, and vegetables such as yam and yam shoots, all contain high levels of tannins..When drinking milk, it is important to avoid mixing.

Persimmon and milk nutritional value

Although persimmons and milk cannot be eaten together, separately, both are very nutritious foods. Let's take a look at the nutritional value of persimmons and milk!

One, the nutritional value of persimmons

1. Supplement vitamin C: Persimmons contain more vitamin and sugar than general fruits, about 1-2 times, so eating persimmons can supplement a lot of vitamin C.

2. Promote bowel movement: Persimmons are rich in pectin, a water-soluble dietary fiber, which has a good effect of promoting bowel movement and maintaining normal gut flora.

3. Moisturize the lungs and promote saliva production: Persimmons can effectively supplement the body's nutrients and cell fluids, which can moisturize the lungs and promote saliva production.

4. Sober: Persimmons can promote the oxidation of ethanol in blood, assisting the body in excreting alcohol, reducing the damage of alcohol to the body.

5. Treat localized thyroid enlargement: Persimmons contain a amount of thyroid, which can help to treat localized thyroid enlargement.

6. Other nutrients: Persimmons also contain a variety of minerals and vitamins.

Two, the nutritional value of milk

1. Milk should not be eaten with fruits.

Any fruit should not be eaten with milk, as they will react with each other and make it difficult to digest, and also waste nutrients.2. Milk should not be eaten withSoy milk

together.

Milk and soy milk should not be cooked together, because soy milk contains protease inhibitors, which can stimulate the stomach and inhibit the activity of trypsin.

These substances need to be broken down in a 100℃ environment for several minutes.

Otherwise, if soy milk is not sufficiently boiled, it is easy to cause poisoning when eaten. 

Milk should not be cooked with soy milk.  

3. Milk should not be eaten with sugar.

Milk contains a lot of protein and calcium, which will combine with acid in fruits to form insoluble calcium acid, which greatly affects the absorption of calcium and may cause hair loss, diarrhea, and slowed growth.

Milk should not be added with sugar when cooking.4. Milk should not be eaten with

Chocolate

together.Milk contains a lot of protein and calcium, while chocolate contains acid, so they will combine to form insoluble calcium acid, which will greatly affect the absorption of calcium and may cause hair loss, diarrhea, and slowed growth.5. Milk should not be eaten with medicine.Some people like to drink milk with medicine, which will affect the absorption of medicine.Because milk easily forms a film on the surface of the medicine, which makes it difficult for the milk to absorb the medicine.Therefore, do not drink milk before or after taking medicine.

2 It is not advisable to eat persimmons with their skin on.Some people find that chewing the skin of persimmons while eating the fruit enhances the flavor, but this is not scientifically sound.Because most of the tannins in persimmons are concentrated in the skin, it is impossible to completely remove the tannins when eating the persimmons with their skin on. This increases the risk of forming persimmon stones in the stomach, especially when the persimmons are not properly ripened.

II. Taboos for Milk Consumption

1. Do not drink raw milk. When drinking fresh milk, it should be heated to kill bacteria.

2. Some people have the habit of drinking milk on an empty stomach, which is not scientifically sound.Because eating food on an empty stomach causes rapid movement of the intestines.Moreover, the protein in the milk will quickly be converted into energy and consumed when ingested.The nutrients in the milk have not been fully digested and absorbed before being eliminatedintothe large intestine, which wastes nutrients.It is best to eat something before drinking milk or drink milk while eating food.

3. 80% of the protein in milk is casein. When the pH of the milk is below 4.6, a large amount of casein will coagulate and precipitate, making it difficult to digest and absorb, and in severe cases, it can also cause indigestion or diarrhea.Therefore, it is not advisable to add acidic beverages such as fruit juice to milk.

5. It is not advisable to drink cold milk frequently, because cold milk can affect the digestive function of the intestines and stomach, causing mild diarrhea, and preventing the absorption and utilization of most nutrients in milk by the human body.

6. It is not advisable to cook milksteamedor boiled for a long time.The protein in milk will change from a gel-like state to a gel-like state when heated, leading to the formation of precipitates and reducing nutritional value.

What foods should not be eaten with persimmons and milk?

According to the principle of food compatibility, food can become poisonous under certain circumstances, and can be fatal without warning.Therefore, it is important to combine foods properly.Besides persimmons and milk, what other foods should not be eaten with persimmons?Let's take a look below.

I. What foods should not be eaten with persimmons?

1. It is best not to eat persimmons with high-protein foods such as crabs, fish, and shrimp.Traditional Chinese medicine says thatcraband persimmons are both cold foods, so they cannot be eaten together.From a modern medical perspective, high-protein foods such as crabs, fish, and shrimp, when in contact with tannins, are easily coagulated into lumps, which can cause stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.

2. Persimmons should not be eaten withsweet potatoesspinachtogether.Sweet potatoes are rich in starch, which can cause a lot of stomach acid to be produced, while persimmons contain a lot of tannins and pectin. When the stomach acid and tannins and pectin come into contact, they will form insoluble hard lumps, called persimmon stones in the stomach.

3. Persimmons should not be eaten withvinegartogether. It is also not advisable to eat vinegar before or after eating persimmons, otherwise the tannins in persimmons will react with acetic acid to form solid lumps, which remain in the human stomach.

4. Persimmons should not be eaten with alcohol.Alcohol has a sweet, slightly bitter, and hot nature, which is toxic. Persimmons, on the other hand, have a cold nature. Therefore, the two foods cannot be eaten together.

II. What foods should not be eaten with milk?

1. Milk should not be eaten with fruit.Any fruit should not be eaten with milk, as it will cause a reaction between them, which is not conducive to digestion and will also lead to nutrient loss.

2. Milk should not be eaten withsoy milktogether.Milk and soy milk should not be cooked together, because the protease in soy milk can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and inhibit the activity of trypsin.This substance needs to be broken down in an environment of 100°C within several minutes.Otherwise, soy milk that has not been sufficiently boiled can easily cause poisoning.If milk is boiled for a long time, it will damage the protein and vitamins in the milk, reducing the nutritional value of the milk.Therefore, milk and soy milk should not be cooked together.

3. Milk should not be eaten with sugar.The lysine in milk will react with fructose when heated, forming toxic fructose-lysine, which is harmful to the human body.It is not advisable to add sugar to milk when boiling. It is better to add sugar to milk after it has cooled slightly.

4. Milk should not be eaten withchocolatetogether.Milk contains a lot of protein and calcium, while chocolate contains oxalic acid. When the two are eaten together, they will combine to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which greatly affects the absorption of calcium, and may even cause hair loss, diarrhea, and slow growth.

5. Milk should not be eaten with medicine.Some people use milk instead of water to take medicine. In fact, milk will significantly affect the absorption of drugs.Because milk can easily form a film on the surface of the drug, causing the calcium, magnesium, and other minerals in the milk to react with the drug, forming insoluble substances, which can affect the release and absorption of the drug.Therefore, it is not advisable to drink milk before or after taking medicine.
