Although for a true romantic "love is shown every day of the year", many mark in red on February 14, the day of love, on the calendar. There are couples who choose to go out to dinner, others show their love preparing dinner at home and there are even dare to make a picnic, despite the cold.

Choose one plan or another, you must be very careful with the list of ingredients of your preparations or those of the restaurant. Some foods can end up causing distance between lovers or generate a moment of discomfort and discomfort. Nothing should ruin this day .

Onions and garlic

Nobody has onions and garlic as food pieces that raise the libido, it's no accident. In addition to its ability to enhance bad breath, despite the time spent before leaving home to avoid it, onions and garlic can cause serious gastrointestinal problems that you did not have.

Soup

It seems a harmless dish, even a safe option as an entree. However, the soup may have a trap. If it is a commercially produced soup, it is necessary to know that it may contain hidden sodium and may turn on you during the night because of the evil it can cause to your waist.

In the event that the soup has too much sodium, the body will have to deal with a high amount of extra salt. And what will the body do to overcome the problem? It will retain water to help dilute sodium, and that will lead to a very uncomfortable swelling , according to SF Gate's Healthy Eating.

Curry

We must avoid asking for the spiciest curry on the menu. The odors that can cause some of the ingredients that are used are very difficult to hide. Mainly, because they are not alone in your breath .

When dishes such as curry are digested, they produce several odorous gases that contain sulfur. Most of these byproducts are metabolized in the intestines and liver, but some, such as allyl methyl sulfide, are absorbed into the bloodstream and released through the lungs and pores , an effect that can last for hours

Almond

Eating almonds is not as "dangerous" as the other foods named so far, but you may not be interested in consuming almonds after reading what follows. This nut is perfect to get to sleep .

There are doctors who recommend this fruit because it has a high content of magnesium and tryptophan, which work to slow down nerve function, muscle function and stabilize the heart rate . Much better to fall asleep than for a night of love.

Fried food

If for a moment you were planning to celebrate Valentine's Day with a plate of fried food, you see that idea being dismantled. It would not be the best option to have "a happy digestive process". A proof of this is the possible acid reflux and heartburn that occurs after the difficult process that the human body must perform.

That could mean spending the night in the bathroom because of diarrhea, caused by fatty acids that have ended up in the colon . If you do not want to go through it, discard fried food, at least, for a day.

Vegetables

If you were thinking of ordering a plate of vegetables, you'd better go looking for an alternative because vegetables and a love affair do not marry. According to the American nutritionist, Kelly Hogan, "legumes have a high content of oligosaccharides, a type of resistant starch that our intestine can not break down and remains undigested until it reaches the colon . Thus, oligosaccharides are broken down by bacterial fermentation, which produces flatulence. "

However, there are more foods that contain oligosaccharides : leeks, asparagus, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, among others.

Beware of drinks

At a romantic dinner, one should always try to make a good impression, regardless of how long the couple has been dating. So, taking into account the consequences of drinking carbonated beverages, avoid carbonated beverages or the like . On the other hand, if an alcoholic beverage is preferred, other factors must be taken into account.

In addition to the known effects that alcohol has when consumed in large quantities, it also has to take into account the bad smell. Excess alcohol can change the smell of our body , not only because of the amount, but also because of the mix of drinks. It is very possible that sweat begins to smell alcohol if you drink too much over the course of the night. A third factor is belching that can cause gas that could completely ruin the nigh.
