Delivering food within 10 minutes is dangerous for health: The development of technology has also affected our food habits, which can be clearly seen in today's era. Today many food delivery companies are claiming to deliver food to our homes in 10 minutes. But have you ever wondered whether this ultra-fast service is good for our health or not? Health experts are expressing concern about this matter and are also giving reasons for this concern.
Dr. Manan Vora, India's renowned orthopedic surgeon, wrote on LinkedIn, “I am a doctor and I think the new trend of 10-minute food delivery will be disastrous for our health. “Some companies are now competing in quick commerce food delivery.”
“How will the food arrive in 10 minutes?”
Dr. Manan further wrote, “They say it is for our convenience. But we have to stop and ask an important question. How does this food reach me in 10 minutes? To deliver food in 10 minutes, it must cook in 3 minutes or less. “And they can get it only with ultra-processed, ready-to-eat food.”
“They come from pre-cooked to frozen, then cooked in the microwave and finally delivered to our plates. I've talked about the dangers of ordering from food delivery apps before, but this quickie food is the most dangerous of all.
Dangers of Highly Processed Foods
Similar studies conducted on ultra-processed foods have revealed several results such as:-
1. These increase the risk of cancer by 12 percent and the risk of heart disease by 10 percent.
2. They are linked to rising obesity rates, which account for 27.8 percent of Indian adults
3. Such foods increase sugar levels and increase the risk of diabetes.
4. They contain high amounts of trans fat, which causes heart disease.
“These companies want to take advantage of our need for convenience, but that 20-minute difference really isn't worth it. If you don't have home-cooked food and have to order in, do so, but wait a little longer for fresh food. Don't compromise with your health. “Dear companies, we don’t want ultra-processed waste delivered in 10 minutes.”
