Anything that is tasty is not always healthy, and often can harm the body. People eat fried foods almost every day. Cutlets, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs are very popular dishes. However, there are many reasons for the harm of this type of cooking food.
When frying, food is partially or completely immersed in the oil. This food contains a huge amount of fat and has a high calorie content. When eating fried, the body is saturated with fats and at a certain point they reach such an amount that they cannot be digested. Accordingly, this can cause obesity, and also develop diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
When oil boils, especially for a long time, its chemical composition changes, a huge amount of harmful substances is formed in it. Some of them evaporate and enter the respiratory tract during cooking. And the non-evaporated part is retained in the oil itself, they have a detrimental effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, and can lead to disturbances in the digestion process. Especially a lot of harmful substances are formed in oil that has been used several times.
Sunflower oil boils at a temperature of 150 degrees or more. When products are processed at high temperatures, trace elements and beneficial compounds are destroyed in them, and vitamins such as A and E are completely destroyed during heat treatment.
Fried food is digested by the body for a very long time, while the motor function of the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed, the digested food is poorly excreted. Eating fried is unacceptable for digestive disorders, and it is highly discouraged for a healthy body.
The healthiest foods are those that have not been cooked. If it is impossible to eat foods raw, then you can cook them, for example, by steam, which will preserve the nutrients.
