Cho explained that watermelon and banana are fruits that cool down the body temperature. They are known as ‘buah sejuk’. Therefore, they can’t be eaten together. Why? The eater can easily get diarrhoea.

2) Milk

Milk has high protein content, while a banana has acidic components. These two don’t mesh together because it slows the digestion process. Not only that, but it can also cause indigestion.

3) Potato
