Nutritionist Anton Polyakov warned that the daily consumption of melons in excessive quantities can lead to gastrointestinal problems.

Despite this, it is considered a tasty and healthy product, rich in vitamins and quite satisfying. The specialist added that there are varieties of melon used for the production of dietary supplements with antioxidant properties.

He stressed that melon does not go well with other foods — digestive problems may occur if consumed at the same time. Melon can also put a strain on the digestive tract, especially in people with gastritis, and in some cases provoke allergic reactions.

On August 4, dietitian, PhD Elena Solomatina, in an interview with Moskva 24, told what products it is dangerous to combine melon with. According to her, melon should not be combined with meat, dairy and fermented milk products, as this is fraught with gas formation and stomach problems. It is especially bad to combine it with meat, especially meat that takes a long time to digest: pork, lamb, beef, horse meat. Solomatina noted that melon contains sugar, so its consumption should be moderate — about 200 grams per day is enough. 360.ru .

According to the nutritionist, the same applies to watermelon: it should not be eaten more than 200 grams at a time. It is better to limit consumption to one or two servings per day between meals, writes RIAMO.

In July Pravda.Ru she wrote how to choose a ripe melon without knocking and pressing. It is necessary to evaluate the color of the peel, which should be warm and uniform, the dry stalk, the sweet aroma, the weight — the heavier the better, as well as the smooth shape.

Earlier, Solomatina warned that, despite the benefits of melon, pregnant and lactating women should not eat it. It is also better to abandon it for people with weak immune systems, the website notes. kp.ru .

Prior to this, nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg noted that melon contains special sugar alcohol molecules called erythritols, which give a sweet taste, but are not absorbed by the body like regular sugar.
