1. Black beans
Beef is rich in iron, good for blood. However, black beans have rough fiber content, which can hinder your body from absorbing the iron in beef. Therefore, experts recommend that you only eat these two foods at least 4 hours apart so that they cannot “limit” each other’s functions.
2. Soybeans
Soybeans contain a lot of purine, which is the cause of uric acid accumulation in the body, leading to gout. Beef also has a similar property. If you combine these two foods at the same time, it will increase the amount of uric acid in the body, causing joint pain. It is even more dangerous for those who already have gout.
3. Pork
Many people love to eat noodle soup with beef and pork. However, combining pork and beef at the same time is not good. Beef has a warming property while pork has a cooling property. These are two conflicting types of food, and when used together, the body cannot fully absorb the nutrients.
4. Seafood
The nutrients in seafood and beef can react poorly to the body. Beef contains phosphorus, while seafood is rich in magnesium and calcium. These substances react with each other to form salt precipitate. And this precipitate will reduce the process of absorbing nutrients in the body.
5. Eel, chives
Combining beef with eel and chives can make you feel indigestion and bloating. Using them for a long time can cause toxicity in the body.
6. Hazelnuts
Beef is high in protein, while hazelnuts are rich in vitamin C. But this amount of vitamin C will denature the protein, no longer retaining its original nutritional value.
7. Alcohol
Many people use beef as a side dish when drinking alcohol. However, combining these two for a long time can cause constipation, mouth ulcers, tinnitus, red eyes…
8. Tea
The amount of tannic acid in tea, when it reacts with the protein in beef, will cause inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, accumulate toxins for intestinal peristalsis, and easily cause constipation. It is also not advisable to drink tea when eating mineral-rich foods such as seafood and seaweed.
Beef is delicious and very nutritious. Therefore, you need to know how to combine this type of food correctly for the body to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients in it.
