The autumn wind makes the crab feet itch. Every year during the Mid Autumn Festival, the crab is yellow and full of fat, making it the best time to taste it. On this day of family reunion, it has been a fashion in recent years for family and friends to eat crabs around the table.
Not everyone is suitable for eating crabs, "said Jiang Feng, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology at Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Crabs have a cold nature, and they contain a large amount of cholesterol and high levels of purines. Pregnant women, people with spleen and stomach deficiency cold, people with high cholesterol, patients with high uric acid or gout, and those with allergic constitution are not recommended to eat crabs.
Eating crabs emphasizes pairing, and Jiang Feng believes that eating crabs requires vinegar and ginger. Crabs have a cold nature. When paired with ginger and vinegar, they can remove cold and fishy taste, and also have a certain bactericidal effect. The taste will be more delicious. From a hygiene perspective, it is not recommended to eat raw, dead, or overnight crabs. It is not advisable to consume too much, 1-2 pieces are sufficient. In addition, eating persimmons, pears, plums, oranges, pomegranates, tomatoes and other foods together with crabs can easily lead to indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.
It's better to drink brown sugar ginger water after eating crabs. Crabs have a cold nature and are rich in nutrients such as protein. Brown sugar ginger water has a warm nature and has the effects of relieving sweating on the surface, warming the stomach, and dispelling cold, which can alleviate cold and stomach discomfort to a certain extent. Jiang Feng said that the popular online food "raw pickled crabs" has safety hazards, and there may be some bacteria and parasites on the surface, cheeks, and gastrointestinal tract of raw crabs, even if pickled, It is unlikely that these bacteria and parasites will be killed.
Based on past experience, most patients who seek medical attention after eating crabs exhibit gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, and some patients with poor spleen and stomach may experience nausea and vomiting. Jiang Feng reminds that if mild gastrointestinal symptoms occur after eating crabs, it is recommended to take medication at home first. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for medical treatment in a timely manner and seek professional medical help.
