Many people can't do without a variety of snacks in addition to three meals a day. Snacks bring joy and have become an integral part of many people's lives, arguably their fourth meal.
Eating snacks will bring people a sense of "happiness", but some snacks are not only easy to gain weight, but may also affect health, so it is better to eat less. Recently, I saw a study on the Internet that the risk of "dementia" by eating dried fruits is 4 times higher, is this really the case?
01
Is it easy to get Alzheimer's disease by eating dried fruits?
All kinds of dried fruits on the market, very well said, no additives, fruits are directly dehydrated, and all nutrients are retained. But are these dried fruits really so good? Can dried fruits really replace fruits completely?
People who consumed more dried fruit had a 4.09-fold increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared to those who consumed less dried fruit, however, no potential causal relationship between fresh fruit intake and Alzheimer's disease was found.
Pay special attention to choosing naturally additive-free dried fruits, rather than products with a lot of added sugar and other ingredients. Also, eating fresh fruit in moderation is a healthier choice, as dried fruit usually loses some of its nutritional value.
In daily life, it is recommended to eat more fresh fruits, eat dried fruits in moderation, and maintain a balanced diet to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Children usually enjoy a variety of snacks such as potato chips, carbonated drinks, ice cream, and fried chicken. However, these snacks contain ingredients that are high in fat, sugar, and salt, which may have negative health effects and should be eaten sparingly.
Consuming too much of these ingredients can lead to health problems such as obesity, tooth decay, heart disease, and diabetes.

Snacks with the following words should be eaten sparingly
1. Eat less snacks with "dry".
Dried fruits and vegetables processed with sugar or salt, such as seaweed chips, dried apples, dried strawberries, etc., although they are named fruits, their nutrition has been greatly reduced, and they can only be eaten appropriately. Eating too much fat increases the risk of obesity.
2. Eat less snacks with "crispy".
Durian crisp, coconut crisp, pineapple crisp, and other "crispy" foods have an excellent taste, but this crispy taste is mainly due to a large amount of fat (including trans fatty acids), sugar and additives, high calorie and high fat, low overall nutritional value, should be eaten in moderation.
3. Eat less snacks with "willow".
Chicken chops, pork chops, steaks, etc. should be aware that they may not be real meat, and there have been news exposures that some merchants use duck meat to make fake steaks. Be even more vigilant about steaks that are unusually red in color and have a strange taste.
4. Eat less snacks with "potatoes".
Potato chips and fries are fried and high in fat, salt, sugar and MSG, making them unhealthy snacks. Long-term consumption may lead to obesity or related health problems.
5. Eat less snacks with "pie".
Snacks like chocolate pie and egg yolk pie, although sweet, contain high fat, salt, and sugar and should be eaten sparingly. Long-term excessive consumption can lead to malnutrition and fat accumulation.
6. Eat less snacks with "flavor".
The so-called "papaya-flavored mooncakes", "milk-flavored biscuits" and "cherry-flavored cola" may not actually contain these ingredients, but imitate their taste by adding edible spices.
For example, barbecued potato chips may not actually contain barbecue, but instead use seasonings to achieve a similar texture and taste. This practice is not uncommon in food processing, but consumers need to pay attention to the ingredient list of the product when purchasing to avoid affecting their health.

"0 add" doesn't necessarily mean better
With the increasing concern about health, many businesses have begun to use "additive-free" and other promotional methods to attract parents.
However, "zero additives" doesn't necessarily mean healthy!
For example, some "sugar-free" beverages may contain high amounts of sweeteners or artificial sweeteners, which can lead us to mistakenly believe that we are ingesting sugar, causing our bodies to signal that we want to eat again.
As a result, we eat more, gain weight, and potentially increase our risk of diabetes.
"0 preservative" foods may contain large amounts of oil, sugar, or salt to extend their shelf life. However, these foods cause a greater physical burden on the human body compared to foods with added preservatives. High amounts of oil, sugar, or salt can increase the amount of these nutrients in the body, leading to health problems such as obesity and diabetes.
Any food is both positive and negative, no matter how delicious or convenient, it will bring all kinds of "side effects". Therefore, when eating any food, pay attention to the right amount, the right amount is the best!
