Many citizens are accustomed to eating barbecue and drinking beer at street-side barbecue stalls at night. Nutrition experts warn: this eating habit can easily lead to cancer.
According to experts, during the barbecue process, the charred parts of meat skewers are prone to produce carcinogenic substances. Moreover, the thick smoke produced during open-flame barbecue, which envelops the meat skewers, can also easily produce carcinogenic substances. Additionally, many people prefer the "refreshing" combination of meat skewers and beer. In fact, because beer promotes blood circulation, this combination can further facilitate the formation of cancer cells.
Nutritionists suggest: try to avoid open-flame barbecue, as grilling on an iron plate produces less smoke and relatively fewer carcinogenic substances. Avoid eating charred meat skewers. When eating barbecue, try to pair it with green vegetables rich in Vitamin C, such as green peppers and tomatoes, as Vitamin C can hinder the formation of carcinogenic substances. It is best to replace the old "recipe" of barbecue with beer by drinking beverages like barley tea and fruit juice. Garlic and vinegar are indispensable condiments for a barbecue meal.
Additionally, after eating barbecue, it is best to eat a kiwi or two medium-sized tomatoes.
