Cucumber can be eaten on an empty stomach. Cucumber pulp is crisp, sweet and juicy, fragrant and delicious. It contains gum, fruit acid and bioactive enzymes, which can promote metabolism and treat sunburn, freckles and skin allergies. Cucumber can also clear away heat and promote diuresis and prevent constipation. Propanoic acid contained in fresh cucumber can effectively inhibit the conversion of sugar into fat, so eating cucumber regularly is of great benefit to lose weight and prevent coronary heart disease.
It is best not to eat tomatoes with cucumbers;
Because cucumber contains a vitamin C decomposing enzyme, it will destroy vitamin C rich in other vegetables. Tomatoes are typical vegetables rich in vitamin C. If we eat them together, the vitamin C we take from tomatoes will be destroyed by the decomposing enzymes in cucumbers, and the nutritional supplement effect will not be achieved at all.
Tomatoes should not be eaten on an empty stomach;
Tomatoes contain a lot of soluble astringents and other ingredients, which react with gastric acid and condense into insoluble lumps. These masses may block the pylorus at the gastric outlet, causing discomfort such as gastrointestinal fullness and pain. Eating tomatoes after meals is not serious because stomach acid has been mixed with many foods, and the concentration is not large, so it will not react with the gum on it.
