If you are an innocent little mouse, you will definitely be extremely curious about the various delicacies in the human kitchen.
In particular, the golden brown potato chips and fragrant potato stew soup are simply mouth-watering.
However, while these two types of potatoes are delicious, they may not be suitable for everyone.
One might ask, which is more nutritious, fried potatoes or stewed potatoes? In fact, for some special people, both of these ways of eating can be quite troublesome.
For the sake of understanding, we can analyze it in conjunction with a specific story, let's say there is a young woman who is very fond of potato chips and eats a large bag almost every day.
Recently, however, she has noticed that her stomach is often upset and sometimes she feels too much acid.
So she went to the doctor, who told her that she might be suffering from a stomach ulcer and that potato chips were one of the foods she needed to avoid.
From a medical point of view, potato chips are delicious, but they produce a lot of fat and heat during frying at high temperatures, which is not a small burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Especially for patients with gastric ulcers, high-fat foods can stimulate gastric acid secretion and aggravate the condition.
Therefore, for patients with stomach ulcers, potato chips are obviously not a good choice.
Another example is a middle-aged uncle, who usually has high blood sugar, and the doctor advised him to control his diet and avoid excessive intake of carbohydrates and oils.
However, he especially likes to eat potato stew, which he finds healthy and delicious. As a result, blood sugar has been poorly controlled, always going up and down. The doctor told him that while the stewed potato soup looked healthy, the potatoes themselves were high-carbohydrate foods that quickly converted to sugar, causing blood sugar to rise.
In view of the example just given, we can see that although stewed potato soup is less oil and less salt, it is not a perfect choice for diabetics.
According to the United States Diabetes Association, potatoes are high glycemic index foods that quickly raise blood sugar levels.
Diabetics need to strictly control the intake of foods with a high glycemic index to stabilize blood sugar.
There is also an old grandmother who is usually quite tough, but has the problem of high blood lipids.
She likes to eat all kinds of potato products and finds them nutritious and not greasy. However, her doctor told her to eat less, whether it was potato chips or potato soup. Because fried potato chips contain a lot of fat, while stewed potato soup contains a lot of starch, these can lead to an increase in blood lipids.
From a medical point of view, patients with hyperlipidemia need to avoid foods that are high in fat and carbohydrates. Potato chips, on the other hand, can significantly increase blood cholesterol levels due to the large amount of fat absorbed during the frying process. Stewed potato soup is converted into glucose due to the high starch content of the potatoes themselves, which is further converted into fat and increases blood lipids. Therefore, patients with hyperlipidemia should try to avoid these foods.
Let's analyze the nutritional content of fried potatoes and stewed potatoes. From a nutritional point of view, potatoes themselves are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. However, different cooking methods can affect the nutritional value of potatoes.
Potato chips are extremely caloric due to the fact that vitamin C is almost completely destroyed during the high-temperature frying process, and at the same time absorbs a lot of fat. In potato soup, some vitamin C is also lost due to long-term heating, but in general, more nutrients are retained.
According to research data, potato chips contain about 500 calories per 100 grams, while potato stew has only about 70 calories per 100 grams.
In terms of calories, it is clear that stewed potato soup is healthier. However, for those who need to control their carbohydrate and blood sugar levels, potato soup stew is also not a completely safe option.
Here, we would like to remind everyone that whether it is potato chips or stewed potato soup, for some special groups, it needs to be treated with caution.
In particular, those with stomach ulcers, high blood sugar and high blood lipids need to strictly control the intake of these foods.
So, how do we choose a healthier way to eat potatoes? First of all, you can choose steamed potatoes or baked potatoes, which will maximize the nutrients of the potatoes while avoiding excessive fat and calories.
Secondly, you can pair it with some high-fiber vegetables to increase satiety and reduce carbohydrate intake.
Additionally, you can also choose to make some healthy dishes with potatoes, such as potato salad, but be careful to avoid using too many spices and high-calorie toppings.
Now, let's ask a new question: Is there a delicious and healthy way to cook potatoes for those who love to eat potatoes but also have health problems? In response to this problem, we can put forward some specific suggestions.
First of all, you can choose steamed potatoes. Steaming potatoes preserves the nutrients of the potatoes to the maximum extent possible and avoids the loss of nutrients during frying and stewing. Steamed potatoes can be served with some low-calorie seasonings, such as a small amount of olive oil, pepper and salt, to increase the texture without adding too many calories.
Secondly, there is the option of making potatoes with an air fryer.
Air fryers use hot air circulation to cook food and achieve a deep-frying-like texture with minimal fat required. The result is a potato that has the crispiness of a fried potato without consuming too much fat.
Also, try making mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes can be mashed with steamed potatoes, add some low-fat milk and a little butter, and stir to combine. Not only does this have a delicate taste, but it's also relatively low in calories, making it ideal for those who need to control their diet.
By choosing healthier cooking methods, we can enjoy the delicious taste of potatoes while maintaining the health of our bodies. I hope that everyone can choose the right way to eat potatoes according to their health conditions, and pay attention to their health while enjoying the food.
Key points to summarize – patients with hyperlipidemia need to avoid foods that are high in fat and carbohydrates.
