What should not be eaten together with cake?
Generally, there is no rule that cake cannot be eaten with certain foods, but it is generally not recommended to eat it with other raw, cold, or stimulating foods to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. It should be noted that patients with diabetes are not recommended to eat cake to avoid affecting blood sugar levels. Cream cakes contain large amounts of shortening and cream, leading to excessive fat intake and increased intestinal burden. If cake and bread are made without additional oil ingredients such as cream, shortening, or vegetable oil, they should not be eaten with spicy, raw, cold, greasy, or fried foods. Additionally, it is not recommended to eat them with unclean food from roadside vendors. Drinking cold drinks after eating cake should also be avoided. Cake is a high-calorie food, and it is not recommended to eat it with cold fruits or drinks as it may cause adverse reactions in the digestive tract, such as bloating, diarrhea, and vomiting. People who are trying to lose weight or have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia should generally eat less cake. After eating cake, waiting for half an hour before eating fruits rich in vitamins can promote the digestion and absorption of food. Cake usually contains a lot of sugar, so besides people with diabetes who should avoid it, others, including those with hypertension, can consume cake in moderation. However, it is important to remember that moderation is key because cake contains a lot of fat, and eating too much of it is not beneficial for managing hypertension.
