An allergist explained who shouldn't eat peas and why
Peas are a popular product. They are added to salads, soups, porridges are made from them or they are simply canned.
And for good reason. After all, peas contain vitamins that are necessary for maintaining good health.
The product contains vitamins A, beta-carotene, which improve the condition of hair, nails and skin, and also help strengthen teeth, bones, and improve vision.
In addition, it is worth noting that peas are rich in vitamin C, which has a positive effect on the immune system and nervous system. It also contains B vitamins, which have a positive effect on metabolism.
But it is important to take into account that not everyone can eat peas. This was stated by Dr. Elena Paretskaya in a conversation with representatives of the publication " Doctor Peter ".
According to the expert, peas contain a lot of purines, which increase the level of uric acid in the body.
As a result, there may be pain in the joints, and there is also a risk of developing kidney stones.
Therefore, elderly people with impaired purine metabolism or gastrointestinal problems should avoid peas.
