Some combinations, while seemingly healthy, may not work well together. For example, pairing eggs with fruits high in tannins—such as persimmons or very astringent fruits—can make digestion heavier and lead to bloating or discomfort. Similarly, consuming eggs with soy milk may interfere with protein digestion due to certain compounds in soy that affect digestive enzymes. Another common habit to reconsider is drinking tea or coffee immediately after eating eggs, as tannins in tea can reduce iron absorption and coffee may affect calcium balance when consumed in excess. Simply spacing these foods out by a couple of hours can make a noticeable difference.
