Gum meat, as the name suggests, is the injection of meat with a chemical called carrageenan or TG enzyme. By adding gum and blood water, this meat can make the meat look more tender, more elastic, and have a longer shelf life. However, injected meat not only affects the body's absorption of nutrients and increases the burden on blood vessels, but also may cause chronic metabolic diseases. It is understood that gelatinized meat may contain carrageenan, which may be harmful to human health if consumed for a long time.
Gelatinized meat is commonly found in foods such as hot pot meatballs, cheap steaks, frozen lamb rolls, beef rolls, bacon meat, grilled sausages, chicken fillets, chicken cutlets, etc., so it is important to pay attention to discernment when buying and eating these foods.
For the elderly, their body organs have gradually aged and their digestive function is gradually decreasing, so it is necessary to pay more attention to their diet. In particular, the following four types of meat, the director of the gastroenterology department recommends telling parents to keep their mouths shut:
1.Barbecue meat: Barbecue meat will produce some harmful substances during the roasting process, such as benzopyrene, etc., which are not good for human health, especially the digestive system of the elderly has been reduced, making it more difficult to digest these harmful substances.
2.Fried meat: Fried meat will produce some harmful substances at high temperatures, such as acrylamide, which are not good for human health, especially the digestive system of the elderly has been reduced, and it is more difficult to digest these harmful substances.
3.Cured meat: Cured meat will add a lot of salt and other condiments during the curing process, which is not good for human health, especially in the elderly, whose kidneys have been reduced, making it more difficult to excrete these substances.
4.Bacon: A lot of salt and other condiments are added to bacon during the production process, which is not good for human health, especially in the elderly, whose kidneys have been reduced, making it more difficult to excrete these substances.
Therefore, the elderly should pay more attention to their diet, try to avoid eating harmful foods such as glue-injected meat, and choose fresh and healthy meat and food to ensure good health. At the same time, it is also important to control the amount of food you eat and avoid excessive intake of meat and other high-fat, high-sugar foods to prevent obesity and other health problems.
