Compared with frying and roasting at high temperature

Hot pot is really healthier.

Compared with frying and barbecue, hot pot is really healthy, because frying and roasting at high temperature will produce harmful substances such as acrylamide, a potential carcinogen. The World Health Organization has listed frying and high-temperature roasting as Class 2A carcinogens, especially foods rich in carbohydrates, which will produce acrylamide when cooked at a high temperature above 120°C, and are clear carcinogens.

In contrast, even the red oil hot pot, the upper floating layer of oil and the lower half of it are all kinds of broth, and the temperature at which the soup boils after heating is about 100℃. In this respect, hot pot is a healthier choice.

Eat a variety of ingredients at one meal

Balanced nutrition hot pot can do it.

According to the dietary guidelines of China residents, it is suggested that everyone should eat at least 12 kinds of food every day. Is it difficult? But a hot pot can simply complete this KPI!

No matter whether it is Chinese food or western food, almost no one can eat a variety of ingredients in one meal like hot pot. There are well-prepared meat, red meat and white meat, leafy vegetables and potatoes, fish and shrimp and internal organs. The variety of food is complete and diverse. From this point of view, the nutritional balance of hot pot is very good!

Does nitrite cause cancer?

There is indeed nitrite in the hot pot. The longer the hot pot is cooked, the higher the nitrite content in the soup. In the hot pot boiled for 90 minutes, nitritesaltContent reached5.2mg/L-15.73mg/L。 However, to achieve nitrite poisoning, it is necessary to ingest 200mg-500mg of nitrite, and reaching this level means drinking about 12.5L of hot pot soup.

Unless a large number of long-term intake of nitrite, lack of antioxidants, or accompanied by gastrointestinal diseases, it may be carcinogenic. Therefore, under normal circumstances, eating hot pot will not cause nitrite poisoning or even cancer.　

How much does hot pot eat to get bowel cancer?

Many people think that one of the reasons why hot pot is unhealthy is spicy. If you eat it often, your stomach can’t stand it, and even think that eating too much spicy hot pot will cause intestinal cancer.

But eating Chili peppers is not necessarily related to the occurrence of intestinal cancer. Therefore, it is unreasonable to think that hot pot is carcinogenic because it is spicy.

There are many reasons that can cause diarrhea after eating, such as stale ingredients, food poisoning caused by food safety problems, allergies to certain foods, and gastrointestinal diseases, etc., but it may be these common and related reasons.

Eat too spicy

Although we just said that pepper is not necessarily related to intestinal cancer, capsaicin in pepper may cause burning and tingling in the gastrointestinal tract of some people, and it will also accelerate the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to diarrhea.

Hotpot+cold drink

Many friends like to eat hot pot with iced coke and iced beer. Some people have nothing to eat and drink, but some people can’t stand it. In fact, it is the cold and hot diet that leads to abnormal contraction of gastrointestinal tract, indigestion and diarrhea.

Eat too long, too much

Eating for a long time will greatly increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. The mouth has been eating, and the secretion of digestive juices such as gastric juice, bile and pancreatic juice has not stopped. If this process lasts for several hours, the glands in the digestive tract can’t get normal rest, which may lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., and may lead to chronic gastroenteritis, pancreatitis and other diseases.

Eating too hot can easily lead to esophageal cancer.

Too hot food directly into the mouth will not only damage the esophageal mucosa and burn our mouth, but also damage the gastrointestinal mucosa and increase the risk of esophageal cancer.

More oil and more salt.

According to the Dietary Guide for China Residents (2022), adults should not consume more than 5g of salt and 25-30g of cooking oil every day. In fact, China is a big consumer of salt and oil, with an average of 10.5g of salt and 42.1g of oil per day. Moreover, in order to be fragrant and delicious, the bottom of the hot pot is not only rich in oil, but also high in salt. Coupled with the blessing of sesame oil, salt, monosodium glutamate, oyster sauce and other ingredients in the oil dish, after eating a hot pot, the intake of oil and salt casually exceeds the standard.

High purine is easy to cause gout.

① When scalding hot pot, the purine in animal viscera is high.

For example, hairy belly, goose intestines, etc., eating a lot of animal viscera regularly is likely to cause hyperuricemia, so it is even worse for patients who already have hyperuricemia or even gout.

② The soup in the hot pot is high in purine.

Most of the broth in the white pot was originally made of chicken, bones, etc., and the purine content is already relatively high. However, when you put shrimp and meat in the hot pot, the longer you cook, the higher the purine content in the soup will continue to rise.

So how can we eat hot pot healthily?These points suggest Amway to everyone.
