On the contrary, because they are concentrated, you can get a lot of nutrients by eating just a small handful. There are also some taboos in eating raisins. The following are the taboos of eating raisins. You may want to take a look.

1. Raisins contain a lot of sugar, so pregnant women should not eat them in excess to avoid causing obesity to themselves and the fetus.

2. Raisins need to be washed before eating. Raisins have a laxative effect, so they can avoid bacterial diarrhea.

3. Do not drink water immediately after eating raisins. The ingredients in raisins will react with the water in the body and easily cause diarrhea.

4. Diabetic patients should eat less raisins as they are high in sugar. Eating too much can cause high blood pressure and aggravate the condition.

5. Don't eat too much at one time. Eating too many raisins will cause nutritional excess. A few dozen grams a day is enough. Don't eat large handfuls endlessly while watching TV. If you consume too much sugar, the sugar that is not broken down in time will be converted into fat.

6. Do not eat raisins with foods high in potassium. Eating raisins with foods high in potassium can easily cause hyperkalemia, resulting in gastrointestinal cramps, abdominal distension or diarrhea, and even arrhythmia. In addition, raisins cannot be eaten with the following foods, so you need to be more careful.

(1) Raisins cannot be eaten with seafood

Because grapes contain tannic acid, when it combines with protein, it will cause indigestion symptoms. The protein content in seafood is quite high, so raisins cannot be eaten with seafood.

(2) Raisins cannot be eaten with milk.

Because the vitamin C in raisins conflicts with the nutrients in milk, it is harmful to the stomach and intestines and can easily cause symptoms such as vomiting and nausea. It is recommended to drink milk half an hour after eating grapes.

(3) Raisins cannot be eaten with camel meat.

Camel meat rarely appears in our lives, but it is eaten in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and desert grassland areas. Eating raisins and camel meat together can cause fever. In severe cases, the whole body feels like it is burning, which is very scary.
