SAEDNEWS: Consuming vegetables has many benefits for the body, and most people are only aware of the advantages of eating vegetables, while overeating them can have side effects.
According to SAEDNEWS, Eating fiber-rich and nutrient-dense vegetables is important and essential for human health. But is it really a good idea to eat all of them at once? In fact, this is not a good idea because overeating any type of vegetable can have side effects for some individuals. In reality, those who introduce you to a plate of various vegetables, herbs, and oils through advertisements are actually promoting some unhealthy habits. Just as excessive consumption of fats, sugars, or sodium can lead to side effects such as diabetes, heart disease, and more, we must also be cautious when consuming vegetables, as it has its own consequences. In this section, we will explain more about these issues.
Vegetables have many health benefits, but when they are canned, their vitamin content decreases, and salt, sugar, and preservatives are added. Therefore, avoid consuming canned vegetables as much as possible, and if you must consume them, always choose those labeled "no added salt."
Celery is a low-calorie vegetable rich in fiber, but excessive consumption can cause digestive issues and irritate the stomach. It has also been observed at times to lead to hormonal imbalances.
Spinach is rich in vitamins A and C and has antioxidant properties, making it one of the most beneficial vegetables for the body. However, if you consume non-organic spinach, pesticides on it may remain and enter the body, leading to excessive side effects.
Bell peppers are rich in water and belong to the same family as potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants, all of which contain solanine. High levels of this substance, an alkaloid, are considered toxic. Cooking these vegetables eliminates the toxins, but if consumed raw, in excess, and on an empty stomach, they can cause stomach pain and digestive issues.
Peas are considered starchy vegetables. These peas have a high glycemic index and rapidly increase blood sugar levels, which can lead to obesity and early hunger right after eating. Therefore, if you have a slow metabolism and do not engage in much physical activity, be cautious when consuming this group of vegetables.
