Depression can make it difficult even to fulfill basic responsibilities. There are many factors that cause depression. Factors such as problems, harmful habits, seasonal changes, hormonal changes, diseases, and some drugs can cause depression. However, fried foods, which are outside of these factors and are not known to cause depression, can also affect depression.
INFLUENCES BRAIN NERONS
In the research conducted in China, 140 thousand 728 people were followed for 11 years. The effect of fried foods on mental health was examined. It was observed that those who consumed french fries frequently had 12 percent more anxiety and 7 percent more depression than those who did not. Especially when starch-based foods are cooked at high temperatures, the harmful acrylamide substance appears. This naturally occurring substance is very harmful to the body. It specifically affects neurons in the brain.
“THE PREGNANCY NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL ESPECIALLY”
Saying to TRT Habere that pregnant women should be careful, Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Ayça Kaya said: “Pregnant women need to be especially careful. Children need to be very careful. Please pay close attention to our cooking technique. Do not fry foods. Prefer foods such as steaming or baking more.”
Kaya said that those who cannot give up frying should pay attention to some points:
“After chopping the potatoes, soaking them in water for an hour and squeezing lemon on them will reduce their starch a little more, and it would be better to fry them lightly in disposable oil,” he said.
