Experts warn that frequent and improper use of frozen foods can pose certain health risks. Particularly, frozen semi-finished products containing a lot of salt, sugar, and preservatives are associated with cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, and metabolic disorders.
According to National.Az, nutrition experts say that the freezing process causes a reduction in vitamins and minerals in some products. This can lead to a weakened immune system in people who consume such foods for a long time. On the other hand, improper storage temperatures of frozen products increase the risk of bacterial growth.
Doctors state that especially children, elderly, and individuals with chronic illnesses should be more careful when consuming these types of foods. Experts recommend paying attention to label information when purchasing frozen products, following storage rules, and prioritizing fresh foods as much as possible.
It should be noted that properly selected and stored frozen foods are not entirely harmful. The main issue is their use within a balanced diet and in moderation.
