When eating mutton, it is best not to drink green tea, otherwise it will have a negative impact on your health. This is mainly because the protein content of mutton is very high, and most of tea contains tannic acid. When mutton and green tea are eaten together, there will be no harmful chemical reaction or even constipation.

There are five taboos for eating mutton:

1. Avoid eating with tea.

Tea is the bane of mutton. This is because mutton is rich in protein and tea contains more tannic acid. Drinking tea while eating mutton will produce protein tannic acid, which will weaken the intestinal peristalsis and reduce the moisture in the stool, thus inducing constipation.

2. Not suitable for eating with vinegar.

Sour vinegar has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the growth of yang in the body. Eating with mutton will greatly reduce its warming effect.

3. Avoid eating with watermelon.

Eating mutton and then eating watermelon is easy to "hurt your vitality". This is because mutton is sweet and hot, while watermelon is cold and belongs to cold products. After eating, it not only greatly reduces the warming effect of mutton, but also hinders the spleen and stomach.

Some diseases are not suitable for eating mutton.

People who often suffer from erosion of mouth and tongue, red eyes, bitter taste, irritability, dry throat, swollen gums or diarrhea, or people who take Pinellia ternata and Acorus gramineus in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions should avoid eating mutton.

5. Not suitable for eating with pumpkins.

It is also recorded in ancient Chinese medicine books that mutton should not be eaten with pumpkin. This is mainly because mutton and pumpkin are warm foods. If you eat together, it is easy to get angry. Similarly, when cooking mutton, you should also put less spicy condiments such as pepper, pepper, ginger, clove and fennel.
