There are some foods that are sure to be very tasty and that are mouth watering. But some of them aren’t exactly good for our health. In fact, it can happen to come across some foods with negative properties for our body. And in this case we must understand as soon as possible what these elements are to avoid unpleasant consequences. Rather, let’s get closer to foods that can help us stay healthy. We recommended just one in our previous article “An unsuspected food fights cholesterol, high blood sugar and slow metabolism”. So let’s write down the foods that can be positive and find out together which ones would be better to leave on the supermarket shelves for a while.
Beware of this food which is very popular but which definitely increases the risk of cardiovascular disease
The food we will talk about today is not part of the Italian tradition, but has now entered our culture and, in addition to being loved, it is also quite common. This is the hot dog, the delicious sandwich with Viennese sausage and sauces that comes directly from America. As tasty and easy as this food may be to prepare, we should stay away from it for a while. And we should really pay attention to this food which is very popular but which definitely increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. To recommend it, in this case, is the Umberto Veronesi Foundation, which deals with the topic specifically.
That’s why it would be best to avoid hot dogs for some time if we don’t want to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease
The hot dog is one of the so-called ultra-processed foods. These are foods that are now found everywhere and that allow us to eat with taste and speed. But unfortunately some of them do not benefit our health at all. In fact, excessive consumption of this type of food can really have cardiovascular consequences that we would never want to face. Remember that a food can be defined as ultra-processed when it undergoes various chemical and physical processes and therefore is not natural. And the hot dog, unfortunately for those who love it, is just in this category.
These foods, according to experts, are negative for health because of the simple sugars they are rich in. And also the processing that these foods undergo, which almost completely changes their structure, makes them unhealthy and in some cases dangerous. In all of this, this is not to say that we will never have to eat a hot dog or an ultra-processed food again. But, of course, we know that we should never exaggerate the consumption. And most importantly, if we already have any health problems, we now know we can talk to our doctor about the matter. In fact, he will be able to give us a clear answer on the foods we should avoid.
