Nowadays, many people like to eat fried chicken and popcorn, which often appear in the streets. They are delicious and convenient to eat. But they are typical high-energy and high-fat foods, which children and teenagers especially like to eat. However, from the perspective of children's fertility and health, they should be reduced or even avoided. Moreover, many of them are made by scattered processing points or small vendors, and there may be hidden dangers in frying oil and raw materials.
In order to pursue the appearance and taste, "modern snacks" may add salt, sweeteners, flavoring agents, pigments and so on. Which are more fragrant and delicious, but bring hidden dangers to health.
Carbonated drinks such as potato chips/chips, soda and egg yolk pie are snacks without nutrition.
Potato chips and chips are well-deserved "worst snacks". Everyone knows that potato chips and chips have high energy, but I think this is secondary. The key point is that these foods contain acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen, and now many of them are in large bags, which makes it easy for children to eat more. In addition to acrylamide, potato chips also contain food additives such as fillers and flavor enhancers, as well as trans fatty acids and salts. Carbonated drinks, such as soft drinks, contain almost no nutrients needed by the human body, are high in calories and contain many additives. In the eyes of nutrition experts, they are far less than boiled water.
Egg yolk pie is a typical pie that only talks about taste but not nutrition. Egg yolk pie takes additives as the main means, which tastes delicious, but its nutrition is extremely low, and it struggles on the dividing line between harmful and harmless. There is almost no durian in durian crisp, which is high in fat, sugar and nutrition.
Sausage, a processed meat product, may have little real "meat", and it contains many food additives such as colorants (nitrite) and preservatives, and its salt content should not be underestimated. The salt content of some sausages accounts for a person's daily salt consumption index, and carcinogens may also be produced during baking.
The crisper the better, the less you should eat it.
More and more people are addicted to snacks, and many people eat snacks to relieve stress. On the other hand, crispy and delicious snacks also meet our taste needs. But I have to remind everyone that fat is a weapon to make delicious food. The better the taste of food, the more you should pay attention to its fat content.
Take cookies for example, many people only know that they are delicious, but they don't know what they are eating. "Cookies are made by adding a lot of butter, which leads to high fat content (some are above 50%), especially saturated fat and trans fatty acids." Chen Yongchun analyzed.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, many people like to buy all kinds of "crisp" food, such as durian crisp, coconut crisp, pineapple cake, almond crisp and so on, to entertain their relatives and friends. But this crispy taste depends on a lot of fat (including trans fatty acids), sugar and many additives. These substances are high in energy and fat, but the overall nutritional value is low, so you must not eat more. In addition, be careful that high-fiber or coarse-grain biscuits taste too good. Fiber biscuits taste rough, but fiber absorbs fat well. If you put enough oil, cookies will naturally become crispy and delicious, but they will lose their health significance.
Natural food is the first choice for snacks.
What are the really healthy snacks? Although nutrition experts give different answers, they have one thing in common, that is, yogurt, fresh food, nuts, dried dates, raisins, persimmons and other natural foods.
Daily snacks, "yogurt, fruit, soybean milk, nuts, etc." They are all healthy snacks, and it is better to eat between meals. You can make it yourself, add some honey and diced fruit, it's delicious and healthy. I also like to slice the steamed bread, bake it into dry steamed bread without putting oil in the hot pot, which is convenient to eat and can nourish the stomach. "
Eat a handful of plain nuts every day, so that children can eat more of these natural snacks and stay away from those snacks with high fat and sugar.
