Usually, for a group dinner, we love to have a spicy boiled fish with a few close friends. The delicious combination of fish and chili is not only fresh and tender, but also stimulating. Although boiled fish is delicious, did you know that its recipe contains huge health hazards from beginning to end? Eating it not only harms your health but can also cause cancer.
I. Oil
Oil contains a large amount of calories and fat. Excessive consumption will lead to an increase in the body's fat content. The daily intake of 30-50 grams of edible oil (including the oil content in food) can meet the body's needs, and it is not advisable to consume too much. The oil used to make boiled fish is not only used in large quantities, but also repeatedly heated.
The resulting hazards are:
1. Excessive intake of oil leads to excessive fat intake in the human body.
2. Repeated heating of oil produces carcinogenic substances that are harmful to the human body.
3. It destroys the nutrients in the fish, and people cannot absorb the required nutrients normally after eating it.
II. Salt
The normal daily salt intake for a human body should be 3-5 grams, but the amount of salt in boiled fish far exceeds the normal standard.
The resulting hazards are:
1. Excessive salt intake can easily lead to an increase in body fluids. If excess water cannot be discharged from the body in time, it can cause swelling of hands and feet and weight gain.
2. Women who eat boiled fish during their menstrual period will worsen the edema situation and are prone to fatigue.
3. Excessive salt intake can easily make people feel nervous, increase blood pressure, and affect the elasticity of blood vessels.
III. Chili
Most people know that eating too many chili peppers can make people feel hot and "heaty" (a concept in traditional Chinese medicine). And boiled fish contains an excessive amount of chili.
The resulting hazards are:
1. It strongly stimulates the digestive tract, and in severe cases, it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding or induce ulcers. It can also cause constipation.
2. It can lead to the formation of deep abscesses on the skin, affecting facial appearance.
IV. Intense Flavor
The heavy numbing and spicy flavor of boiled fish greatly stimulates the taste nerves, increasing the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, accelerating gastrointestinal motility, and making people excited.
The resulting hazards are:
It causes taste fatigue and creates a dependency, making people more and more addicted. This is why some people have boiled fish every few days.
V. Side Dishes
The unique texture of boiled fish makes people easy to ignore the intake of other foods while eating it.
The side dishes in boiled fish are monotonous; besides fish, the only vegetable is often bean sprouts. Long-term consumption leads to an unbalanced diet.
Accompanied by the spicy and numbing fish, most people will overdrink Coke or beer, feeling it is thrilling and can also reduce the spicy sensation. However, these are all drinks that the body should not consume in excess. The sugar content in Coke is very high, and it also contains stimulants like caffeine. Excessive consumption of beer, the alcohol it contains increases the burden on the liver, causing fat accumulation, and in severe cases, it can lead to fatty liver.
