SUSHI WAS NOT ALWAYS HEALTHY

 Sushi has become a popular food in the world, which consists of a delicious combination of sticky rice, nori, and fish. Many people believe that sushi is a healthy food.

Apparently, this opinion is not always true. As quoted from the Daily Mail, Louise Sutton, a nutritionist from Leeds Metropolitan University, revealed five pieces of evidence that sushi is not always healthy.

1.      Cholesterol.

The orange roe which is always used as a sushi topping is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The content can also protect you from heart disease.

Even so, you need to know that fish eggs also have a high cholesterol content. It would be better if you don't consume it in large quantities or if there is an increase in cholesterol levels in your blood.

2.      Salt.

The salt content in the sushi is low. However, the salt content in soy sauce, which is often used as a complement to side dishes, is very high. One sachet of soy sauce contains 1 gram of salt, and the maximum daily intake of salt   is six grams. Soy sauce is made from fermented soybeans. You should avoid consuming soy sauce in levels that exceed reasonable limits, especially for those who have problems with high blood pressure.

3.      Ringworm.

Two studies conducted by the American College of Gastroenterology reported an increase in cases of anisakiasis (roundworm) infection that occurs when eating raw seafood in sushi dishes. When ingested by humans, roundworm larvae enter the passages into the tissues of the stomach and intestines. This can cause sudden stomach pain, bloating and diarrhea. Roundworms can also be transmitted through cats and dogs. According to the National Health Service (NHS), UK raw fish must be frozen at minus 20 degrees Celsius, for at least 24 hours. This method can kill roundworm larvae.

4.      Mercury.

A study from the British Journal Biology Letters in 2010 revealed that tuna in sushi at restaurants and supermarkets in the US contains levels of mercury that exceed those set by food health monitoring agencies.

Excessive levels of mercury are associated with a risk of disorders, including brain damage, deafness, and blindness. Pregnant women are advised to limit or prevent consumption of some fish, including raw tuna during pregnancy.

5.      Bacteria.

One of the most common bacteria found in sushi is Staphylococcus aureus . The trigger is more frequent because the bacteria is also found in sticky rice which is usually used as the main ingredient of sushi rather than raw fish. If the rice is not refrigerated immediately after it is made, then bacteria will appear on the surface, leaving it at room temperature, which will increase the risk of poisoning even more. Make sure you eat the sushi as soon as possible after it's made.

So, apart from all that we should be more careful in choosing food. Not forbidding but as much as possible limiting eating certain foods, because "anything in excess is not good"
