earlier At one time people used to bring fresh fruits and vegetables from home garden or nearby farms, but with excessive urbanization and development of technology, the trend of frozen and ready to eat food has increased. Due to this, every type of food is available to eat in every season. Readymade and frozen food items come in handy on many occasions. Whether you have unexpected guests coming to your house or there are no vegetables left to cook, the easiest option is to use those frozen foods from the freezer. For people who find cooking difficult, readymade curries, frozen samosas, ready to cook rotis and many other food items are quite useful.
Disadvantages of eating frozen and prepared food
Nowadays it has become quite common to depend on these packaged foods which may not be fresh but still provide the taste, texture and color of fresh food. If you have also filled your refrigerator with readymade and frozen foods, you should throw them away immediately and vow to never do so again.
According to India’s famous nutrition expert Nikhil Vats, homemade food spoils quickly and if we leave it in the kitchen for several days, it starts smelling. On the contrary, frozen and ready-to-eat food does not spoil for a long time because preservatives are added to it which can prove to be harmful for our health.
Readymade foods remain the same no matter how many days or months they are stored. This is because additives are added to packaged and frozen foods to maintain taste and color and increase their shelf life, but these can cause indigestion, diarrhea, cancer, liver disease and kidney disease.
Nutritionist Nikhil says that all these chemicals harm our body. Food companies often prepare these foods using poor quality fats and oils and excess salt, which can have a negative impact on our health. In fact, these are like dead foods that lack nutrients.
