Store-bought dumplings should not be consumed on a regular basis, especially if we are talking about ultra-processed food. Homemade dumplings should not be eaten every day either, if a person wants to lose weight or maintain the existing one.
Daily consumption of dumplings can lead to obesity, said therapist and nutritionist Galina Volkova.
— If we are talking about a product that was produced in a factory, that is, it is ultra-processed food, then, of course, this is the product that should be minimally present in our daily diet. These products, as a rule, cause obesity, — the specialist noted.
It is safe to diversify your diet with homemade dumplings, but you should not do this often, she added.
- Dumplings can be too high in calories, especially if they are prepared with fatty meat or served with high-calorie sauces, such as sour cream.
- They are usually made with white flour, which makes them low in fiber. Low fiber intake leads to digestive problems.
- Many ready-made dumplings contain too much salt, which is especially dangerous for people with hypertension.
- Ready-made dumplings may contain preservatives, artificial additives, and flavor enhancers.
- If dumplings are not cooked properly or stored in proper conditions, this can lead to food poisoning.
