Especially for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, if you eat durian when drinking alcohol, it will lead to headaches, rapid heartbeat, more seriously, it will cause bleeding and stroke.
Do not eat with certain types of meat such as beef, lamb, seafood . Durian is a fruit that contains a lot of sugar, potassium, fat, glycemic. Meanwhile, the above meats are all rich sources of protein and fat. Especially saturated fat can increase cholesterol in the blood. When using these two foods at the same time, it will cause cholesterol in the body to increase suddenly.
