The bacteria in seafood are mainly Vibrio bacteria, which are relatively heat-sensitive and can only be completely killed at temperatures above 80 degrees Celsius.

Besides bacteria from the water, seafood also contains many parasite eggs and pathogens contaminated during processing. Typically, boiling for 6-8 minutes is necessary to completely kill bacteria. Furthermore, when eating steamed crab or seafood marinated in soy sauce, it's crucial to ensure hygiene and that the seafood is fresh.

2Do not eat fruits rich in vitamin C.and contains tannic acidimmediately after eating seafood

- Seafood such as shrimp, crab, and shellfish are popular due to their high nutritional content, especially their relatively high levels of pentavalent arsenic. While pentavalent arsenic itself is not harmful to the human body, its combination with fruits containing vitamin C can be detrimental.

According to a recent study, pentavalent arsenic, which is abundant in shrimp, when combined with Vitamin C, transforms into arsenic trioxide, also known as arsenic, which can cause acute poisoning and, in severe cases, death.

Therefore, after eating seafood, you should avoid consuming fruits high in vitamin C such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and kiwis.

Persimmons, containing tannic acid, are also on the list of fruits that should not be eaten with seafood. (Illustrative image)

- Fruits containing tannic acid are also on the list of fruits that should not be eaten with seafood because they will hinder the absorption of proteins and calcium from seafood into the human body.

On the other hand, tannic acid readily combines with calcium to form a solid compound called calcium tannic acid. This compound can cause symptoms such as bloating and nausea after eating. Tannic acid is abundant in fruits like grapes, persimmons, and pomegranates, so you should avoid eating these fruits when consuming seafood.

Many people have a habit of eating seafood as a snack while drinking beer. Dishes made from this type of food are also frequently found on beer-side tables. In fact, shrimp, crab, fish, etc., produce a lot of uric acid in the body. Excessive uric acid in the body is the main cause of gout.

Furthermore, beer contains substances that accelerate the formation of uric acid, causing many health problems. Therefore, health experts warn people not to eat seafood while drinking beer to reduce the risk of gout and many other dangerous diseases.

Note that when preparing seafood, adding a little white wine and rice vinegar helps to disinfect and detoxify.

Tea leaves contain a lot of tannic acid, which easily combines with calcium in seafood to form insoluble calcium. Therefore, you shouldn't drink tea immediately after eating seafood; it's best to drink tea two hours after consuming seafood.
