It's the season to eat peaches and watermelons again. It's really flattering to eat a refreshing watermelon and peach in hot summer.
However, there has been another rumor in the circle of friends recently, pointing out: "Remember that peaches and watermelons can't be eaten together, which will be highly toxic." Seeing this, I am afraid that the peach in Bian Xiao's hand will fall to the ground.
Is it true?/You don't say. /You don't say. Can watermelon and peach be eaten at the same time? What should I pay attention to when eating these fruits? What foods can't be eaten at the same time? We need to come forward to refute rumors!
Can watermelon and peach be poisoned when eaten together?
This is a complete rumor!
Many people find that they have had the experience of eating watermelons and peaches at the same time, but there are no symptoms of discomfort.
In fact, judging from the food composition, this is also an absolute rumor. Watermelon and peach are rich in water, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements. However, their ingredients do not contain substances harmful to the human body, and there are no substances that will produce toxicity after reaction.
So if you eat together, there is no possibility of death caused by high toxicity.
Where did this rumor come from?
Perhaps because of the hot weather in summer, many people try to keep watermelons and peaches cool before eating them.
Cold-stored watermelons and peaches are very irritating to the spleen and stomach, which can easily cause abdominal distension and diarrhea, thus giving people the illusion of "poisoning".
In addition, peaches have high sugar content and are easy to rot and deteriorate when stored at room temperature. Watermelon contains a lot of water, so many people will put the rest in the refrigerator if they can't finish eating a watermelon. If it is not properly preserved, it is easy to cause watermelon to breed bacteria. If you eat this spoiled watermelon and peach, it is easy to cause physical discomfort.
If you feel sick after eating watermelons and peaches, it's not their own fault, but your stomach is too fragile.
What should I pay attention to when eating watermelons and peaches?
It is not advisable to eat more.
Although these two fruits can be eaten at the same time, don't eat too much.
Peaches are rich in dietary fiber and colloidal substances. Eating a small amount can promote intestinal peristalsis, but if you eat too much, it will easily burden the stomach and lead to stomach pain and diarrhea, so it is best not to eat too much. Eating too much watermelon can easily cause diarrhea symptoms.
According to the recommendation of China Nutrition Society, the daily fruit intake of adults is between 250-400g, and it is not allowed to eat in large quantities at one time.
Diabetic patients should be careful in diet.
These two fruits have high sugar content and are not suitable for diabetics to eat too much. We should reduce the intake of staple food while controlling the amount.
People with allergies should eat carefully.
A small number of people are allergic to peaches, but the symptoms are mild and they don't know it. Mild peach allergy can cause redness, peeling and itching of the corners of the mouth, and serious can lead to shock. People who are allergic to peaches should stop eating when they find mild allergies, and wash their faces and hands with clear water. If the symptoms are serious, you should go to the hospital immediately.
Generally speaking, there is no cannibalism in most foods. Some people will have uncomfortable symptoms after eating, most of which are gastrointestinal discomfort caused by food deterioration or wrong eating methods. As for the remaining small amount of food with similar ingredients, whether eating together will lead to poisoning depends on the dosage. Under normal circumstances, eating together will not cause human poisoning.
