Drinking alcohol and eating food are inseparable in Chinese food culture, but there are some foods that are not suitable for eating with wine, especially peanuts. A lot of people like to pair it with a drink, but in reality it may not be a good choice.
Peanuts are a high-fat, high-protein food, which requires the liver to secrete a large amount of bile to help digestion during digestion, and alcohol will inhibit the liver's bile secretion, thus affecting the digestion and absorption of peanuts. In addition, both alcohol and peanuts may cause elevated blood lipids, and eating both at the same time is more likely to lead to dyslipidemia.
In addition to peanuts, doctors also recommend eating as little as possible when drinking alcohol:
1. Smoked food: such as bacon, sausage, etc., this kind of food contains a lot of salt and nitrite, and long-term consumption may increase the risk of stomach cancer. At the same time, alcohol can irritate the gastric mucosa and aggravate the damage to the stomach, and eating it with smoked food is more likely to cause stomach problems.
2. Barbecue: Barbecue is a favorite appetizer for many people, but barbecue will produce harmful substances such as benzopyrene during high-temperature roasting, and entering the human body with alcohol will increase the burden on the liver and damage liver cells.
3. Raw seafood: Raw or semi-raw seafood such as sashimi, drunken shrimp, etc. may contain a large number of bacteria and parasites, although alcohol can kill bacteria but can not completely kill parasites, so raw seafood and alcohol may cause food poisoning.
4. Jelly: Alum will be added in the production process, this substance will slow down gastrointestinal peristalsis, prolong the residence time of alcohol in the stomach, thereby increasing the damage of alcohol to the stomach.
In short, choosing the right snacks when drinking alcohol is essential for good health, and should be avoided with the above foods as much as possible to reduce damage to the body. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the control of alcohol consumption to avoid the harm of excessive alcohol consumption to the body.
