What should not be eaten with hawthorn?

1. Seafood

The seafood mentioned here includes fish, crabs, shrimps, clams, etc., which contain a lot of protein, while hawthorn contains more tannic acid, which will destroy the structure of protein and reduce the effective absorption of protein. In addition, seafood contains a lot of iron, which will react with tannic acid to form indigestible substances and cause diarrhea.

2. Foods that destroy vitamin C

The foods that destroy vitamin C mentioned here mainly include pork liver, carrots, etc. Because hawthorn contains a large amount of vitamin C, consuming these foods at the same time is likely to cause the vitamin C to deteriorate, making it difficult to achieve its original nutritional value. Pork liver contains a variety of metal ions, such as iron ions, copper ions, etc., which will oxidize vitamin C and cause it to deteriorate. Carrots contain a large amount of vitamin C-degrading enzymes, which will degrade vitamin C, causing it to lose its biological activity.

3. Cool foods

Because hawthorn itself is a cold food, eating it with other cold foods can easily cause damage to digestive organs such as the intestines and stomach, thereby causing digestive problems such as diarrhea.
