Don't touch it! Fried and pickled foods can cause premature aging

The famous Taiwanese chef Chef A-Chi once said, "Healthy things are usually not delicious, and delicious things are usually not healthy." Taiwanese cuisine is rich in color, flavor, and aroma, but eating it for a long time is definitely a burden on the body! A nutritionist in Singapore said that eating fried foods, pickled foods and foods full of chemicals frequently will not only accelerate the aging of the human body, but will also cause harm to health.

Try to avoid vegetables, fruits, pickled foods, and fried foods that have pesticide residues to avoid premature aging.

Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported on the 26th that aging is an issue that everyone must face in their lifetime. While most people are doing their best to slow down the aging process, the food they eat may unknowingly undermine all their efforts. Singaporean nutritionist Ketki Vinayachandra said that non-organic fruits and vegetables are almost always treated with pesticides during the growing process. No matter how they are washed, there will inevitably be a small amount of pesticide residues. Once these chemicals enter the body, they will gradually change our immune system, causing disease and aging at the same time.

In addition, pickled foods are also high-risk foods for aging. The reason is that high doses of sugar or salt cannot eliminate the microorganisms in the food, so manufacturers will more or less add "sulfites" (commonly known as preservatives) for "disinfection". However, many people are allergic to sulfites, and the symptoms produced are also different. It can be said that when the body is damaged by these chemicals, premature aging is an inevitable result.

Finally, there is the "fried food" that Taiwanese people love to eat. A study by the University of the Basque Country in Spain found that many edible oils (such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, etc.) will produce "aldehydes" and "4-hydroxy-2-nonenal" (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, HNE) when exposed to high temperatures for a long time. Once the former is ingested, it will continue to accumulate in the body, increasing the risk of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, while the latter will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia, etc., causing the body's functions and brain to enter the stage of premature aging ahead of time, which is more terrifying than aging in appearance.
