What vegetables go well with dog meat?

Dog meat is a delicious and nutritious dish. However, there are many foods that shouldn't be eaten with dog meat, as combining them can be harmful to health. So, what vegetables are incompatible with dog meat? What foods and drinks should be avoided?

The effects of eating dog meat

Dog meat is a highly nutritious food. It is estimated that 100g of dog meat contains 20g of protein, 28g of lipids, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and many other minerals and vitamins…

According to traditional medicine, this type of meat is considered "hot" in nature and "salty" in taste. When consumed as a tonic, it helps to improve sexual function, boost immunity, treat rheumatism, strengthen tendons and bones, and nourish the kidneys and enhance male potency. Dog meat also has many health benefits and can treat cold-related illnesses.

What vegetables are incompatible with dog meat? What foods and drinks should be avoided?

Traditional medicine practitioner Vu Quoc Trung warns that combining dog meat with certain foods can be dangerous to health. Below are some foods that are incompatible with dog meat:

Eating dog meat with garlic

Garlic is considered a warming food, and dog meat is also considered a warming food. Combining these two foods can easily generate heat, causing internal heat in the body.

Eating dog meat with raw vegetables

Eating dog meat containing tapeworm larvae can easily lead to infection. Infection with this type of tapeworm, including dog tapeworm larvae, is very dangerous.

The risk of parasitic worm infection is especially high when eaten with raw vegetables (which often contain many parasites).

Eating dog meat with buffalo offal

Avoid eating dog meat with buffalo offal because buffalo offal is sweet and has a cooling nature, which can cause stomach pain and digestive disorders.

Eating dog meat with tea

Eating dog meat and immediately drinking green tea causes the tannic acid in the tea leaves to combine with the protein in the dog meat to form a toxic substance. This substance has a suppressive effect, weakening intestinal peristalsis and reducing the water content in the stool, making bowel movements difficult and potentially leading to constipation or hemorrhoids.

Eating dog meat with carp

Carp is sweet in nature and has the effect of reducing dampness. Dog meat, on the other hand, is sweet and warm in nature and has the function of generating dampness and heat. Eating them together can easily cause cold, heat, and dysentery.

Eating dog meat with seafood

Eating dog meat and shrimp paste along with seafood can easily lead to diarrhea and food poisoning.

Eating dog meat with chicken

One of the foods that shouldn't be eaten with dog meat is chicken. People usually avoid eating these two foods at the same time because both chicken and dog meat are considered "heating" foods, and eating them together can easily cause heat buildup and lead to diarrhea.

Similar to garlic, if you eat dog meat and chicken at the same time, you can drink licorice tea to reduce the risk of dysentery.

Tea

Many people have a habit of drinking tea to remove the fishy smell after eating dog meat with shrimp paste. However, they are unaware that this long-term combination can be dangerous to their health.

Dog meat is high in protein, while tea contains a lot of tannic acid. If you drink tea after eating dog meat, the acid in the tea leaves will combine with the protein in the dog meat to form a substance called tannalbin. This substance has a constricting effect, weakening the intestines and reducing the water content in the stool, making bowel movements difficult and even causing constipation. As a result, toxins and carcinogens will remain in the intestines for a long time, and the body will absorb them, causing serious harm.

People who should not eat dog meat

Patients with gout, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Dog meat is very high in protein, and consuming it can lead to excess protein and cause conditions such as gout, dyslipidemia, and other cardiovascular diseases. For people with gout, high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol, eating dog meat will worsen their condition.

People with cerebrovascular disease

Eating dog meat is very harmful for people with cerebrovascular disease. The reason is that dog meat is considered "hot" in nature, easily leading to high blood pressure, and can even cause blood vessels in the brain to rupture.

Pregnant women

In particular, pregnant women should not eat dog meat because it can increase uric acid levels, leading to a higher risk of eclampsia and pre-eclampsia.

Liver patients

Dog meat is considered an "enemy" of people with liver disease. Patients with hepatitis or liver inflammation should absolutely not eat dog meat as it can worsen their condition.

People with wounds or boils

People with open wounds or ulcers should ideally avoid eating dog meat. Because dog meat is considered warming in nature, eating it while suffering from mouth ulcers can cause internal heat, worsening the condition.

People with inflammatory acne should also avoid eating dog meat because it can cause severe inflammation and ulcers, making wounds difficult to heal.

People with weak constitutions or colds

These people should ideally avoid eating dog meat; because dog meat is considered warming in nature, it can worsen symptoms of colds and fever.

Although dog meat does contain a certain amount of protein, it still contains many toxic elements that directly affect people with weak constitutions.

People with Yin deficiency and excessive Yang

Many people still believe that eating dog meat strengthens the kidneys and enhances male potency; however, no studies have been published to support this effect. Therefore, dog meat does not have any nourishing effect on people with yin deficiency.
