Potential dangers of fried foods

People who often eat fatty foods have a very high rate of breast cancer, because eating a lot of fatty foods can easily lead to obesity….

Fried and stir-fried dishes are very attractive to diners from color to flavor, they are quick to prepare and are often eaten hot, so they are suitable for daily meals and parties. However, fried and stir-fried foods are sometimes harmful to your health, specifically:

Fried foods are difficult to digest and not good for the stomach.

- Fried foods are difficult to digest and are not good for the stomach. For children, sick people and the elderly, the function of the intestines and stomach is weaker than normal. Stir-fried foods at high temperatures will damage the stomach lining, causing gastritis.

- The oil in fried dishes causes indigestion, so after eating a lot of fried dishes, you often feel full for a long time, even bloating, nausea, affecting other dishes in the meal.

Oils and fats used to fry food at high temperatures contain carcinogens, especially those that have been fried repeatedly, or burnt garlic and onion residues in fried foods. The energy from fried and stir-fried foods is very high. People who like to eat fried and stir-fried foods are more likely to suffer from obesity and cardiovascular diseases than those who often eat boiled and steamed foods.

- To limit the use of cooking oil, we can steam or blanch vegetables before stir-frying so that the vegetables do not absorb much cooking oil. All dishes are prepared in advance, chopped depending on each dish, can be seasoned with fish sauce, salt, oil before or while stir-frying depending on the preparation method and taste of each person.

- You should use oil or fat, preferably vegetable oil, but olive oil should be added later because this type of oil cannot withstand high temperatures. Before stir-frying, add 2 tablespoons of oil or fat to heat the pan and prevent burning. Use long chopsticks to stir continuously to help the food cook evenly, not undercooked or burnt.

In addition, using non-stick pans at high temperatures is also a mistake of housewives. High temperatures can cause non-stick pans to produce compounds called PFCs (perfluorocarbons) in the form of smoke. Many studies have shown that PFCs are related to liver damage and developmental problems.

For those with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, atherosclerosis, high blood fat, fried foods are silent killers. Please convince your family to eat less fried foods to protect your health.
