If you also use readymade food products then keep these things in mind while buying.

Latest News (Health Corner) :- While buying readymade food products, we often do not pay attention to the information given on their packing. These contain many such things which gradually make our body sick. Therefore, special care should be taken while purchasing them. The dietitian is telling about the important aspects related to this.

Do not ignore transfat –
Transfat is mostly found in snacks, biscuits, chips and other fried products. It is a type of unsaturated fat which is added to vegetable oil through the hydrogenation process. With its use it becomes easier to keep these things safe for a longer period of time. Transfat can cause obesity, liver and heart problems. Therefore, use them as little as possible. Many times other types of fat are mentioned on the packaging but transfat is not mentioned. In such a situation, the difference obtained by subtracting the sum of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats from the total fat given on the packing will be transfat.

Keep in mind the expiry date –
Do not buy food items whose expiry date has expired. Such substances are harmful for the body. Many times, the expiry date is correctly written on the product packed in tin, but its tin is swollen or deflated. Such products may contain fungus. Also, avoid taking things whose packaging is even slightly open.

Chemicals make you sick –
preservative chemical : No food item can be preserved for a long time without the use of preservatives. Preservative chemicals gradually make the person sick. Due to its use, the body remains at risk of cancer and heart related diseases.
Test Enhancer: Taste enhancers are also used to enhance the taste of food items, which can cause problems like obesity, memory loss, thyroid, irregular menstruation and stomach ulcers.
Artificial Sweetener: Juices and flavored milk bought from the market also make us sick. In these, artificial sweeteners are used along with preservatives to increase sweetness. This is also a major reason for the increasing problem of obesity and diabetes among people, especially children.
