The Danger of Ready Foods

December 11, 2008


There is today a flood of various kinds and forms of advertising. Both our lives, and the impact the advertisements have ensure that we fall prey to buying most of the products we see.

There are varieties of foods available today. Those specially for diabetics, instant mixes and foods, protein rich foods and even fat free foods. Before stacking up on these, it is important to check for the truth behind these foods first.

Oils are available in many types and ranges today. There are many that claim to be free from transfats. This gives the user the reassurance that the food that is being cooked is virtually fat free, and moreso, cholestorol free. However, when used in excess, the oils convert other ingredients into fats, which amount to cholestorol intake anyway. The best way to consume these foods is to make sure the amounts used are moderate.

Instant foods are a big hit today. There are many varieties available, and they make food easy to cook and serve. They are convenient, and easy to buy. We fail to notice the quality of food we eat, sadly.

When milk splits, curd sours, and oils spoil we understand that they have been kept beyond their life, and that there has been some reaction that has taken place. To avoid consuming these harmful foods, we like to buy them fresh. The same applies to instant foods. In an attempt at keeping them for long, and increasing their shelf life, one of the following methods are used – excess sugars, excess salt, hydrogenated oil, chemicals.

No matter which method, all of these amount to poison for the body. Avoid reheating foods, buying packed foods or preserving and freezing foods for too long. It is like eating dead foods that are close to rotting.
