Spinach, the ancients called it "red-billed green parrot", also known as Persian, red root vegetables. "Compendium of Materia Medica" that eating spinach can "pass the blood, open the chest, under the breath, quench thirst and dryness." Ancient Arabs also called it "the king of vegetables." Spinach not only contains large amounts of beta-carotene and iron, but it is also an excellent source of vitamin B6, folic acid, iron and potassium. Although the nutritional value of spinach is very high, there are still some food taboos. Let's take a look.
Who should not eat spinach
1, the elderly, infants, pregnant women or calcium deficiency.
Because the elderly, infants and young children are in urgent need of calcium supplements or are taking calcium tablets (such as osteomalacia, tuberculosis and calcium deficiency), experts recommend not using spinach for 2 hours before and after taking calcium tablets. Spinach contains dietary fiber, which can detoxify all nights. Therefore, it has a certain degree of gut slippery effect. In children with diarrhea, it is best not to eat spinach.
2, patients with diarrhea.
Spinach is rich in fiber and has the effect of lubricating the intestines. People with diarrhea should not eat it.
3, nephritis and kidney stones should not eat
Spinach contains oxalic acid and calcium salts can be combined into calcium oxalate crystals, so that patients with nephritis urine color turbidity, tube type and salt crystals increased, so nephritis and kidney stones should not eat.
4, pregnant women should not eat spinach. Oxalic acid in spinach is easy to produce insoluble calcium oxalate, causing calcium deficiency.
5, gout patients should not eat spinach. Spinach contains oxalic acid, and calcium-rich foods (such as soy products) cook will form calcium oxalate precipitation, gout patients with calcium oxalate gout, should not eat.
Spinach with what can not eat together?
Spinach + tofu
Spinach contains chlorophyll, iron, etc. It also contains a large amount of oxalic acid. Tofu mainly contains protein, fat, and calcium. Both pots will be wasted precious calcium. Because oxalic acid can react chemically with calcium and produce insoluble precipitate, the body cannot absorb it.
Spinach + Squid
The food of squid is sweet and warm, and it can be used to make up for qi in addition to cooling in the abdomen. The spinach is sweet and cold, slippery and moist, according to "Compendium of Materia Medica" records, spinach can "pass gastrointestinal fever." It can be seen that the taste properties of both foods are not in harmony. Moreover, squid is fried and fat, spinach is cold and smooth, and the same food can easily lead to diarrhea, so the two are not suitable for the same food.
Spinach + Liver
Pig liver is rich in copper, iron and other metal elements. Once it is combined with spinach, which contains higher vitamin C, metal ions can easily oxidize vitamin c and lose its nutritional value. Animal livers, egg yolks, and soybeans are all rich in iron, and should not be eaten with leeches and spinach, which contain more oxalic acid. Because cellulose and oxalic acid can affect the body's absorption of iron in the above food.
Spinach + Dairy Products
Spinach and other fruits and vegetables containing more oxalic acid will combine with calcium into insoluble precipitate, affecting the calcium absorption in dairy products.
