JAKARTA - Many people like mangoes, because of sweet taste. Besides sweet taste, mangoes contain nutrients. This fruit refreshes thirst and is very suitable for consumption in the summer.

But, did you know that there are certain foods that should be avoided from being consumed at the same time as mangoes?

Consultant nutritionist Rupali Datta explained that a number of these foods were deemed unsuitable at the same time as mangoes, because of the opposite nutritional content.

As is the case, one food may be hot and the other cold. Perhaps, the two ingredients have the same content.

"Such food, if consumed together, can cause disease and imbalance in the body," said Rupali Datta, as reported by the NDTV page.

Here are 5 foods that should not be consumed at the same time as mangoes.

Many people like to eat yogurt with mangoes. However, it is said that yogurt and mango are not a good combination of digestion. Because mangoes tend to produce heat in the body and yogurt has a cooling effect. The nature of the two is opposite. This causes imbalance in the digestive process, which leads to stomach problems.

Another food that should be avoided to coincide with mangoes is ice cream. Although most of the people like to add fresh mango pieces over vanila ice cream during the summer, it's less healthy. Differences in temperature can affect the digestive process. If you plan to eat ice cream with mangoes as much as possible, avoid it as possible.

According to several studies, it is recommended to avoid eating certain foods simultaneously, including oranges with mangoes. Combining fruits such as oranges, berries, and kiwis with mangoes can interfere with the body's pH balance. Thus, this can have a drastic impact on the digestive process.

If you are one of those people who like to drink soda along with mangoes, you should stop it right now. Both mangoes and soda drinks contain a lot of sugar. If consumed simultaneously can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar levels. It is also recommended to avoid consuming alcohol with mangoes, because it can cause dehydration.

Many people like to eat mangoes with spicy foods. Hot foods such as curry or sabzi can increase body heat and inhibit the digestive process. People who often experience acid reflux should avoid this mixture of food.
