Today we invite you to learn how to make chips at home; chips are not only tasty, but also healthy.

Chips bought at the store have virtually no benefit, but there is enough harm. The fact is that potatoes contain a large amount of starch. It turns into glucose, which makes the body full. And glucose can be converted into acrylamide, a component dangerous to the body.

If you consume it regularly, cancer may begin to develop. Women aged 30-45 years are most vulnerable to this disease, since they are the ones who develop tumors in the area of ​​the uterus and ovaries.

Other reasons why potato chips considered harmful are.

  1. The same oil is used for cooking, but it needs to be changed after each batch of potatoes. This causes the amount of cholesterol in the blood to increase.
  2. Chemicals are added to the product. Most often these are flavorings, dyes, and taste enhancers. According to the regulations, a certain proportion of these components is indeed allowed, but manufacturers often exceed this norm. This is reflected in general health person, is fraught with metabolic disorders, the occurrence allergic reactions, destruction of tooth enamel.
  3. It contains a lot of salt. It interferes with the normal growth of hair, nails and bones, and destroys vitamin C. Excessive consumption of such chips can ultimately lead to heart problems.
  4. Chips are an incredibly high-calorie food, so it's no surprise that they contribute to obesity. 100 g of chips contain 510 kilocalories, which is a quarter of the daily requirement!

But potato chips are not only harmful to human health. They also have some beneficial properties, including satisfying hunger, improving mood (especially when you really want to eat this product, i.e. emotional, psychological hunger sets in).
