In Western medical nutrition, there is no concept of food incompatibility, so leeks and watermelon can be eaten together.
Leeks belong to the vegetable category and are rich in nutritional value, containing protein, carbohydrates, carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and other nutrients; whereas watermelon is one of the common fruits in daily life, with over 90% water content. Eating watermelon in moderation can relieve dry mouth and also supplement nutrients such as carbohydrates, carotenoids, and vitamin C.
The nutrients contained in watermelon and leeks do not conflict with each other. Eating them together will not cause chemical reactions or produce toxic substances. Therefore, leeks and watermelon can usually be eaten together, and moderate consumption together can also bring certain benefits to the body.
However, due to watermelon's high glycemic index, it is not recommended for diabetics to consume excessively, as it may cause blood sugar fluctuations and induce disease onset. Additionally, if one is allergic to watermelon or leeks, they should avoid consuming them. If none of the above situations apply, it is still not recommended to consume excessive amounts of watermelon and leeks at one time to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing discomfort such as bloating and abdominal pain.
One should adjust their diet structure according to their actual condition, combine meals reasonably, and maintain balanced nutrition.
