Consumption of canned foods can be detrimental to health because they have more sodium and preservatives to maintain the color, taste and texture of foods and make them look more natural. In addition, the kneaded can itself can contaminate the food due to the presence of heavy metals that are part of its composition.
All cans are lined internally with a kind of 'film' that protects the can from food contact itself, so never buy dented cans because when the film breaks down the toxins come in direct contact with the food.
These substances despite being in small amount, will not cause any damage to health in the short term, but can contribute to the accumulation of toxins in the body, which makes it difficult even to lose weight. Therefore the recommendation is not to consume canned foods regularly and never consume a food whose can is crushed or damaged.
Canned foods are harmful to everyone's health, but are especially contraindicated for people who are suffering from high blood pressure or who need to reduce salt and sodium intake in their diet. In addition, it facilitates fluid retention, making the person more swollen, making it difficult to lose weight.
However, anyone who needs to eat away from home may be consuming canned food without knowing, so the best strategy is to not cook with canned and whenever possible bring your own meal to school or to work because this will always be the healthiest option, because so you can know exactly what you are eating.
Prefer the frozen ones
If you are running out of time and need easier cooking strategies, try frozen foods because they are not stored in water and therefore have fewer additives than canned foods.
However, the ideal is to always opt for the fresh foods that you buy in the market or at the fair. You can freeze these foods to facilitate your day to day life, ensuring more quality food for your family. Here's how to freeze foods properly so you do not lose nutrients.
The ready-made meals that are sold frozen in the supermarket are also not a good option because they are also rich in fat, salt and sodium that are harmful to health. So the best way out is to freeze a meal that has been prepared at home with fresh food.
