Scientists say that pomegranate and banana should not be eaten together. It can cause digestive problems and, in some cases, intestinal blockage, which in turn can be life-threatening for a person.
Publika.az reports that "Origo" has released information on this matter.
The publication notes that pomegranate is considered a fibrous food and is difficult to digest, while banana has a high amount of pectin and binds water. Pectin can cause the pomegranate seeds to swell in the intestines, which makes their passage difficult. In this situation, it is possible for a person to develop intestinal blockage.
Eating banana with pomegranate is especially not recommended for young children and the elderly because they do not consume the necessary amount of water throughout the day, which slows down their digestion.
