What are the dietary taboos?

In fact, there are no universal dietary taboos that can apply to everyone. More than 90% of the amazing "food-compatible" lists posted online are untenable. The taboos that really need to be paid attention to are basically linked to personal physical conditions and consumption.

Not long ago, my best friend ate thirteen-spice crayfish and gnawed on two kiwi fruits. She was so frightened by the statement that "shrimp + vitamin C equals eating arsenic" that she sent me a message in the early morning. It turned out that nothing happened. If she really wanted to reach the dose of arsenic poisoning, she would have to eat hundreds of kilograms of shrimp contaminated with heavy metals in one meal. How can ordinary people eat this much?

Of course, this does not mean that there are absolutely no pitfalls to avoid in diet. Those taboos that can really harm the body are all targeted at specific groups of people. For example, people with diabetes are not allowed to eat sweets at all, but they cannot eat foods with a high glycemic index without restraint. There used to be an old uncle in the community who had been suffering from diabetes for many years. During the New Year, he was persuaded to drink half a cup of full-sugar milk tea. Within half an hour, he felt dizzy and panicked and was sent to the emergency room. His blood sugar soared to the point of breaking the limit. There are also taboos for people with allergies that really need to be ingrained in their bones. I was accompanying a friend in the allergy department of the hospital to get medicine, and I bumped into an elementary school kid who ate a nougat stuffed with crushed peanuts from a relative. Within ten minutes, his face was so swollen that he couldn't open his eyes, and his throat was swollen and he almost couldn't breathe. The taboos for this specific allergen are really not careless at all.

As for questions like "Can I drink milk on an empty stomach?" and "Can I eat persimmons on an empty stomach?" that everyone has been arguing about for many years, there is actually no standard answer at all. People who are lactose intolerant can feel comfortable if they drink a glass of ice milk on an empty stomach in the morning. People who are lactose intolerant may have to run to the toilet all afternoon even if they drink it after a meal. ； It is said that eating persimmons on an empty stomach will cause stomach stones. The premise is that you eat astringent persimmons that have not been deastringified, and you have to eat three or four at a time to easily cause trouble. If you eat sweet and crisp persimmons that are completely deastringent, eating one or two on an empty stomach will have no effect at all. Last autumn, I often ate a crispy persimmon on an empty stomach for breakfast, and I didn't feel any discomfort in my stomach.

In fact, many people always like to find various dietary taboos, but they make eating too stressful. For ordinary people, the most important "taboo" to remember is not to overdo it. High-oil, high-salt barbecue hot pot every meal will definitely put a burden on the body. Occasionally, you don't need to feel guilty when you are craving for a meal. The most reliable way to eat is to suit your physical condition.
