"Could potentially harm your health instead"… Caution advised when consuming summer health foods

It has been found that consuming health tonics without knowing one's actual health condition can be harmful to health.

The 14th is Malbok, the last of the three hottest days of summer. Every year on Malbok, many people seek health foods to revive their tired bodies from the heat. However, the medical community warns that health foods, which are high in protein and fat, can be harmful to health if consumed improperly.

 

 

According to the medical community, patients with hypertension and diabetes should be cautious when consuming nourishing foods, as blood sugar and blood pressure levels may rise. If blood cholesterol levels are high, it is advisable to avoid overeating when eating ginseng chicken soup or to remove fatty parts and chicken skin before eating. Since the broth of ginseng chicken soup contains a large amount of salt, it is also helpful to focus on eating the solid ingredients and consume less of the broth.

 

☆Caution should be taken when eating eel if you have hyperlipidemia. The unsaturated fatty acids contained in eel in large amounts reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is harmful to blood vessel health, and alleviate inflammation, benefiting heart health. However, one serving of eel (200g) contains 300mg of cholesterol, which exceeds the recommended daily total cholesterol intake (200mg/dL) for hyperlipidemia patients, so these patients should avoid excessive consumption.

 

For those with poor liver or kidney (renal) function, consuming high-protein nourishing foods can lead to excessive buildup of protein metabolic waste and potassium, which may further worsen kidney function.

 

☆Patients with gallstones should also avoid high-fat nourishing foods. ☆Gallstones are often found in people who frequently consume high-fat foods rich in cholesterol.

 

While nourishing foods are good, it is more important to eat a balanced diet three times a day regularly. ☆ Eating seasonal fruits appropriately is also one way to boost immunity.

Haha, what should I do? I have hyperlipidemia and it's a problem every day.

I ate a lot of eel, but I should have known earlier.

If I had known, I would have eaten just a little.

They say the 14th is Malbok.

It would be good for you to look at the information and eat nourishing food.
