Homemade food is not always healthy: top unhealthy dishes

Home-cooked food is unofficially considered the standard of proper and healthy nutrition. And this is reasonable, because when preparing lunch or dinner, we take care of the cleanliness of the kitchen, the freshness of the products, and the compatibility of tastes. But not all home-cooked food is beneficial. Some foods only harm the body:

Fried potatoes

As a rule, potatoes are fried in a large amount of boiling oil. This dish, a source of carcinogens and “bad” cholesterol, can cause cardiovascular diseases and excess weight. In addition, many people like to eat fried potatoes with various sauces or a lot of salt - both of which also negatively affect the condition of blood vessels.

Pilaf

Rice is a source of fast carbohydrates, which “throw” sugar into the blood and rapidly lower it. A dish with such a base is undesirable for consumption by people with diabetes and excess weight. Traditionally, pilaf is prepared in a large amount of oil, and the dish contains many spices. All this causes atherosclerosis and strokes. Therefore, it is better to cook pilaf infrequently, with a minimum of seasonings and lean meat (chicken, turkey).

Sausages

The production of sausages is impossible without the use of dyes that give the meat an appetizing pink color, various flavor enhancers and preservatives. Therefore, their constant use can lead to heart disease, vascular disease, and weight gain. The harm from sausages will be minimized if you cook them occasionally and not eat them on a regular basis.

Grilled meat

During the process of cooking meat on coals or in a frying pan, substances are released that are responsible for the pleasant smell and color of such a dish. They are dangerous to human health, since, according to a number of scientists from the United States, they increase the risk of developing cancer. People who eat fried foods, including meat, take in more saturated fat and trans fat, which can negatively impact heart health. At the same time, periodically eating fried meat does not pose any danger - sometimes you can fry a cutlet for dinner and enjoy a juicy kebab in nature. But such food should not become habitual.
