Foods that should not be eaten with fish

Eating fish with some of the foods below reduces nutritional value, even causes poisoning, seriously affecting health.

Animal liver should not be eaten with fish.

Animal liver (such as pork liver, beef liver) contains a lot of copper, while fish is rich in vitamin C. This combination can oxidize vitamin C, reducing the nutritional value of both foods. In addition, eating fish with animal liver can also cause digestive problems, allergies, and even poisoning. Absolutely do not eat fish with animal liver. If you want to eat both, you should eat them at least 4 hours apart.

Do not eat fish with cow's milk

Cow's milk contains a lot of calcium, while fish is rich in magnesium. When these two substances are combined, they can form compounds that are difficult to absorb, hindering the body's absorption of calcium and magnesium. In addition, eating raw fish salad with cow's milk can also cause poisoning. Do not drink cow's milk immediately after eating fish, especially raw fish salad. You should wait at least 1-2 hours after eating fish before drinking milk.

Fruits have a bitter taste.

Astringent fruits (such as persimmons, guavas, and green apples) contain a lot of tannins. Tannins, when combined with protein in fish, can form indigestible compounds that cause bloating, indigestion, and constipation. Do not eat astringent fruits immediately after eating fish. You should eat them at least 2 hours apart.

Some beans

Some beans (such as soybeans and red beans) contain a lot of trypsin inhibitors, an important enzyme in the process of digesting protein. When eating fish with these beans, the process of digesting protein will be hindered, causing bloating and indigestion. Limit eating fish with beans, especially soybeans and red beans.

Coffee

Coffee contains caffeine and acid, which can irritate the stomach and cause indigestion and heartburn, especially when combined with protein-rich foods such as fish. Caffeine in coffee can increase heart rate and blood pressure, while some substances in fish can affect the nervous system. This combination can cause symptoms such as nervousness, anxiety, and insomnia.

Starchy foods

Avoid combining fish with starchy foods such as potatoes and pasta. This combination not only increases the calorie and carbohydrate intake but also reduces the glycemic index of the meal, making you hungry quickly and increasing cravings.

Processed and fried foods

Combining fish with heavily processed or fried foods, especially deep-fried foods like french fries and fried chicken, can significantly reduce the health benefits of fish. The high saturated and trans fat content in these foods not only neutralizes the benefits of omega-3s found in fish, but also increases the risk of heart disease, obesity and other health problems.
