Limit eating banh mi with unhealthy foods
Unhealthy foods such as butter, jam, sausages, and bacon often contain a lot of calories, which can easily cause excess energy, leading to uncontrolled weight gain.
Saturated fat and trans fat in the above foods also cause visceral fat accumulation, affecting cardiovascular health.
Eating banh mi with this food can cause nutritional imbalance, increase the risk of obesity and metabolic diseases.
Refined white bread contains high amounts of carbohydrates, which rapidly increase blood sugar levels when eaten with sweet jams and syrups, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Do not eat old or moldy banh mi.
Stale or moldy bread not only loses its nutritional value but also poses many potential health risks due to bacteria, mold, and related toxins.
When banh mi is moldy, fungi such as Aspergillus and Penicillium can grow, producing toxins such as mycotoxins or aflatoxin. If consumed continuously, mycotoxins can damage the liver and kidneys and increase the risk of cancer, especially liver cancer.
Stale bread is also susceptible to contamination with disease-causing bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, or Listeria, especially when stored improperly. This can cause food poisoning with symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, dehydration, and fatigue.
Don't eat banh mi too often
Bread contains a lot of refined carbohydrates, which can easily cause weight gain if eaten too much. Bread also lacks essential nutrients such as fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals that are necessary for the body. Eating banh mi too often can easily lead to nutritional imbalance, fatigue, and reduced resistance.
The World Health Organization recommends eating banh mi only as part of a snack or in combination with other nutritious foods such as vegetables, lean meat or eggs.
