All of us with you live in a world in which, in order to survive, it is necessary to do various things every day at high speed. What is the day of the modern woman? In the morning to collect a husband for work, and children to school or a kindergarten, to go to work, to solve all the working problems, to take the child out of the educational institution, to cook and feed the family with dinner, to take care of the remaining household chores. The time for a woman to care for herself simply does not remain, and if a minute or two is discovered, then often there simply is not enough strength. Tomorrow is the repetition of yesterday.
Manufacturers of fast food quickly realized about this and started offering dishes that do not require special culinary skills and cooking time: you just need to add boiling water and after five minutes the dish is ready. Often, even the dishes do not have to be washed, because the product is manufactured in such a way that together with it comes a cardboard or plastic container for cooking. After the appearance of these products, many people experienced ecstasy. After all, at least part of the problem of a busy work day is now solved!
Perhaps, at least once in our life we all tried fast food: mashed potatoes, soups, noodles, etc. But how should one treat such products? This type of product is very convenient for busy people who use it for a snack in the office, as well as for those who travel by train, bus, car.
Meanwhile, there are a lot of people in the world who constantly eat fast food, not only at work, but at home. Many women try to make their own lives easier by feeding their families purees, soups, noodles, and quick-cooking cubes. In addition, many mothers consider a "hot cup" - a real miracle: the child eats with pleasure, and, therefore, do not strain about dinner and try to persuade him to eat anything. However, this food is detrimental to the child's organism because of the food additives "E", salt, spices, preservatives and flavorings that are in it.
The harm of instant soups for health
Have you ever wondered, "Is fast food useful for the health and beauty of a person, and also, is it dangerous? "
You should know that in products that are so easy to pour boiling water there are no any beneficial substances for our body. Fast food products are of two types:
1. Freeze-dried products of fast cooking
Such products are subject to instant freezing, and then by means of a vacuum plant water is removed from them. The freeze-dried method helps to preserve in the product a sufficient amount of useful minerals and vitamins. In addition, this method preserves the smell, taste and color. But it should be taken into account that sublimation is an expensive method, and, therefore, the market for such affordable products will not be spent on this method.
2. Dehydrated products of fast cooking
This method consists in drying the products at very high temperatures. In this case, the moisture from the product completely disappears, the smell, color and taste, as well as the structure of the product itself, and, consequently, no useful substances remain in it. Dyes, flavors, flavor enhancers and nutritional supplements are replacing useful substances. These "useful" substances irritate the taste buds of a person, thereby causing the desire to eat more. With frequent consumption of fast food, heartburn, discomfort in the stomach and dependence on this type of product.
Composition of instant soups
In instant soups, pasta is used because it is easily dried and also swells swiftly when it collides with boiling water (it does not even require stirring).
On packs of fast food products bright colorful photos are pasted
with the image of appetizing chicken hams, fresh vegetables, shrimps. However, after dissolving the soup with boiled water, the dried products do not swell simultaneously with the noodles.
Therefore, we can conclude that there is no real meat and vegetables in this product, but only flavor additives with a variety of flavors - beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, etc. - are available.
Many manufacturers deceive their consumers, pointing out meat as part of their product, but there are also honest ones who write that they are flavors with similar flavors.
Bouillon cubes of popular brands seem to be energetically valuable according to published research results, but at the same time, they do not contain any useful elements. But we can not completely eliminate fast food from our diet, at least occasionally, but we have to face it. Then you should know what kind of food of this type is better to choose.
Glutamate sodium in instant food
Virtually all products of this type contain in their composition glutamate sodium (Monosodium Glutamate), labeled on the label as E-621. This substance is an enhancer of taste. Some manufacturers tend to argue that sodium glutamate is useful, but it's not. This substance only of natural origin can be useful and then in very small portions, and its synthetic substitute, which is just present in instant food, contains harmful salts and compounds, and, therefore, will adversely affect, primarily, the liver, as well as other human organs.
It is glutamate sodium that causes addiction to this product because of its neurotoxic properties. It slowly affects the endings of nerve cells, and therefore natural soups prepared at home, people seem tasteless.
Yeast extract in fast food
In some products of this type there is an extract of yeast, which causes concern among researchers. In particular, a scientist from France, having conducted experiments, received results that this extract contains dangerous substances that lead to the development of malignant tumors.
