From green onion milk tea to instant noodles with marigolds

According to records, recently social networks have seen many videos made by TikTokers attracting hundreds of thousands of views and followers.

These videos appear with topics such as: drinking milk tea mixed with green onions, eating marigolds with instant noodles...

Specifically, a TikTok account posted a clip lasting more than a minute, attracting hundreds of thousands of views, and shared an image: mixing milk tea with chopped green onions to attract viewers.

The person in the clip mixed milk tea with green onions and introduced the shop's new dish. Many people were surprised and expressed their desire to try the new dish.

However, many comments say that if used, it can cause digestive problems such as diarrhea, vomiting...

Similarly, a clip attracted tens of thousands of views when eating instant noodles with marigold leaves and flowers.

According to the clip, a woman used marigold leaves and flowers mixed with hot water with instant noodles.

This person thinks this is a delicious dish and does not forget to remind viewers: "After Tet, if any of you have marigold plants, feel free to try it!".

Strange dishes can cause allergies and diarrhea.

Doctor CKI Tran Thi Hieu - in charge of the nutrition and dietetics department of Thu Duc Regional General Hospital (HCMC) - said that in Oriental medicine, green onions and marigolds are both good medicinal herbs.

Scallions are a spice that can be used to treat colds, relieve flu, and increase resistance... Marigolds help regulate blood pressure and stimulate digestion...

When combining milk tea and green onions, the taste will not be harmonious. Green onions have a pungent, hot taste, milk tea contains a lot of sugar and fat, both have a hot taste, if you drink it, it will make your body feel hotter. Few people can drink a whole cup if these two flavors are mixed.

Although eating marigolds with instant noodles does not affect health, marigolds are often used for decoration and grown for ornamental purposes and may contain many pesticides that pose risks if eaten.

Doctor Hieu believes that in addition to the above dishes, if new trends appear, it could lead to some taboo dishes, which if combined could lead to allergies, constipation, diarrhea, and digestive problems.

What to do if you accidentally drink milk tea containing a lot of sugar and fat?

According to Dr. Hieu, in case we accidentally eat or use too much sugar or fat at the same time, we can eat more green vegetables to reduce the amount absorbed.

Specifically, when consuming too much sugar and fat, we can use soluble fiber and insoluble fiber found in vegetables and fruits to slow down the absorption of sugar and fat into the blood.

Vegetables and fruits are like brooms that sweep away excess unabsorbed fat from the body, allowing sugar to be released slowly into the blood.

It is best to supplement at least 20-25g of fiber per day. Especially leafy vegetables provide abundant fiber.

"After a meal with too much fat, you should eat a full bowl of leafy vegetables to help your body regulate the amount of sugar and fat you take in," said Dr. Hieu.
