"Five Attentions" in Eating Bamboo Shoots
1. Bamboo shoots contain insoluble oxalic acid, which can easily combine with calcium to form calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate is very harmful to the urinary system and kidney calculi's patients. Therefore, people with urethral stones and kidney calculi should not eat more.
2. Bamboo shoots are sweet, cold and contain more crude cellulose. Patients with severe gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric bleeding, liver cirrhosis, esophageal varices, chronic enteritis and other diseases should not eat cold and indigestible things, so it is not advisable to eat bamboo shoots to avoid aggravating the condition after eating.
3. Bamboo shoots are cold and astringent. People with weak spleen and stomach, postpartum women and people suffering from asthma due to eating bamboo shoots should not eat bamboo shoots directly. In addition, bamboo shoots can also help to cause sores, so all carbuncle patients should also avoid eating bamboo shoots.
4. Children in the developmental stage have immature bones. Because oxalic acid contained in bamboo shoots will affect the absorption and utilization of calcium and zinc, if you eat too many bamboo shoots, children are prone to rickets due to calcium deficiency, and zinc deficiency will cause slow growth and development. Therefore, people aged 15 should pay special attention to eating more bamboo shoots.
Because bamboo shoots contain a lot of oxalic acid, it will affect the absorption and utilization of calcium by human body. To prevent its disadvantages, when eating bamboo shoots, you should cook them thoroughly. If bamboo shoots and diced bamboo shoots are used for cooking, the bamboo shoots should be boiled in boiling water for 5- 10 minutes, and then fried with other foods. This can not only reduce the disadvantages of decomposing most oxalic acid at high temperature, but also make the dishes taste more delicious without astringency.
6. People who take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, especially those who take aspirin for cardiovascular diseases and triamcinolone acetonide and celebrex for orthopedic diseases, should not eat bamboo shoots. Because these drugs are irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, it is easy to damage the gastric mucosa. If you eat bamboo shoots again, your injury will get worse.
