NEVER use these things in kitchen so excessively. They are not good for your health
People who mostly eat home-cooked food take pride in the fact that they do not eat unhealthy junk food from “here” and “there”. However, are all the ingredients found in your kitchen and home-cooked foods totally healthy and risk free? Maybe not.
There are many items which we always keep a stock of and deem necessary for cooking all kinds of foods. This is another reason to think twice about them, especially if you are using them excessively. Check out the list below
1. Sugar
Sugar in its concentrated form is poisonous because it causes swelling in the joints, liver, and brain. If you have an injury or a chronic illness, sugar will impede your body’s healing. Sugar provides energy to cancer cells and all infectious diseases. It also inhibits the absorption of nutrients, particularly all minerals.
2. Refined flour
Refined flour can be present in your kitchen in its powdery form, along with being present in the cookies, cakes, cereal, bread, and pasta in your kitchen. Excessive refined flour consumption can be linked to weight gain, metabolic problems, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. What’s more, the refining process also leads to a substantial loss of dietary fiber, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and vitamin E.
3. Salt
Too much salt increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. According to the World Health Organisation, most people consume too much salt—on average 9–12 grams per day, or around twice the recommended maximum level of intake. Decreasing sodium intake could prevent many d3ath$.
4. Oil
People who love fast food or oily snacks are more likely to suffer from diabetes along with obesity. Apart from this, the amount of fat in the body increases due to consumption of excessive oil. Incidents of abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea and vomiting may also occur. Consuming oily foods increases the risk of a heart attack as it increases blood pressure and cholesterol in the body.
