THE UNHEALTHY SIDE OF PICKLES.

Hope all of you have read my previous post on Pickles in which I have mentioned the healthy side of pickles..

Now let's see the unhealthy side!!

As we all are familiar that lots and lots of salt is dumped in pickles in order to keep them away from microbes and thus indirectly increase their longevity. But salt, nothing but is Sodium and in higher quantities is hazardous to our body mainly the blood pressure.

High sodium in daily diet is the main cause of increased blood pressure which slowly leads to dangerous heart ailments. The excess sodium leads to increased water retention  and may cause extra pressure on your kidneys. Have anyone experienced bloating on regular consumption of pickles, the reason behind it is also the excess sodium in those pickles which play a major role in maintaining the osmotic balance of your body.

Another very important alarming point is in those commercially prepared pickles the food manufacturers add a few chemicals like sodium benzoate which act as carcinogens. The carcinogens act very rudely towards your cells and grab the oxygen from them and thus slowly breaks them down one by one and what happens on long run?? You land up in a weak immunity state which in turn attracts more infections, inflammations and cancer. Huh..That's quite scary!!

Research studies suggest that people who ate pickles regularly on long run are more prone to oesophageal and gastric(stomach) cancers.

The excess oil used to prepare those tasty pickles is the culprit of the excess deposition of cholesterol in your blood vessels and finally blocks your vessels preventing the blood flow and cause HEART ATTACK!! BEWARE BEFORE INCLUDING LOTS OF PICKLES IN YOUR DAILY DIET.

Even the high amount of sourness and saltness in those pickles cause a hit on your enamel of teeth which  will slowly make your teeth sensitive to extreme hot or extreme cold foods..Just like as they show in TV commercials recommending you guys to use a certain toothpaste to prevent your teeth from sensitivity.

Certain pickles are also loaded with sugar and to know the harmful effects of excess sugar on your body you all can read my book on SUGAR- A MYSTERIOUS ADDICTION;-):-)

Good day friends:-)
