Knowing what will be on your plate definitely helps in getting rid of the hassle of ordering the right food while eating out. It’s a juggling act to figure out; wise food choices, food preparation method, your taste inclination, spicy or bland; And a variety of sauces and all these things sum up the best of a healthy dining experience for you.
Foods to avoid for high cholesterol: Deep fried foods
Deep fried vegetables would mean higher calories, higher fat content and loss of fat soluble vitamins A and E. For example, I hate pretty much anything – onion rings, sliced mushrooms, green peppers and zucchini – dipped in batter and fried; because i would like to eat them lightly fried, Crisp and fresh taste, containing all their natural juices. In fact, deep frying can pose some nasty health risks.
When you consume foods ranging from fried vegetables to potatoes and nuts, which are rich in bad fats like saturated fat and trans fat, you run the risk of high cholesterol heart disease, cancer and obesity. To make matters worse, foods fried in deep fat can contain acrylamide, a potential carcinogen. Scary, isn’t it?
Foods to avoid with ulcers: Spicy food
Despite some people saying that spicy foods don’t cause heartburn or stomach ulcers, I’m more inclined to think otherwise. Just imagine – if biting into a raw chilli can burn your skin, how many worse things can it do to the inside of your mouth!
An Oxford article reports that capsaicin, the active ingredient in chillies, is ‘moderately’ effective against prostate cancer cells. It means to put it mildly, in a lukewarm way, not wanting to disappoint or hurt.
Then I found an even more candid note from John Prescott, a university professor and journal editor. Yes, he says, capsaicin can cause tissue to swell; Worse yet, it can also damage the lining of your stomach or intestines, which is if you’ve eaten that much chili. Looks like I don’t even trust the pimento for its acclaimed sweetness.
Foods to avoid for belly fat: Thick sauces and gravies
Thick sauce is synonymous with a thick waistline! When food is served by dipping it in gravy, the natural, delicate flavor of whole foods is lost. High fat content and unhealthy thickeners like maida are mostly to blame.
In fact, there are many healthier, gluten-free alternatives to flour: tapioca starch, cornstarch, arrowroot and potato starch. Then there are also non-fat sauces like low-fat fruit and vegetable sauces that increase your appetite and the nutritional content of the foods served.
However, food cooked with flavor-enhancing ingredients such as onions and garlic rarely needs to be doused with thick sauces, as the bulbous and green herbs can make healthy food more flavourful and flavourful.
