In the summer, eating squash regularly will help cool the body, increase urination, and replenish lost water. In addition, it also helps nourish the lungs, quench thirst, and reduce the feeling of dry throat and discomfort caused by the heat.

Although squash has many health benefits, when eating squash, you should not cook or eat it with the following 3 things:

1. Spinach
Spinach is also known as spinach. This vegetable is rich in oxalic acid. When eaten with squash, the vitamin C in squash will react with this acid to form calcium oxalate, which hinders the absorption of vitamin C in the body.

That is why nutritionists advise against eating these two vegetables at the same time.

2. Radish
If squash has the effect of cooling and eliminating dampness, white radish is cold, so eating them together can easily cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. This is the reason why squash should not be eaten with white radish.

3. Aloe vera
Aloe vera contains a substance called aloin. This substance has a laxative effect, and squash also has this effect. Combining aloe vera and laxative at the same time will cause diarrhea and stomachache.
