Reduce consumption of preserved foods that have sodium nitrate and nitrate salts to stay away from health dangers like lack of oxygen, anexity, cancer etc.
A big part of world population uses one or other form of meat in their diet. Every year tons of meat is produced and many artificial preservatives are used to transport meat from one continent to another. These preservatives are responsible to give rich color to meat and make it edible for longer duration of time. Main cause of degradation of meat food is its increased rotting mechanism. Food decaying bacteria grows in presence of three things humidity, oxygen and food. If any one of the thing is taken out from the food, then we can stop food decaying for very long period. To fulfill these needs, we use Sodium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrite. Sodium Nitrate prevents the colonization of bacteria and Nitrite acts as strong oxidizing agent to prevent decomposition of meat, bacon, fish, and other sea or animal food. In the race of preventing more and more food from decaying to increase self life, access use of artificial preservatives effect negatively on our health. Check out various health dangers we have due to high consumption of sodium nitrate and nitrite rich food.
Reduce oxygen circulation: Sodium nitrate work positively as an oxidizing agent to stop decaying of food. Access consumption of sodium nitrate rich meat may leads to "blue baby syndrome". Sodium nitrate’s oxidizing nature can bind with the red blood cells and block their ability to carry oxygen in every part of body.
Increase cancer risk: Consuming more nitrate and nitrite salts of sodium rich food can also threat the health of adults and children with cancer. It can cause various kind of cancer from skin cancer to prostate cancer. So, be wise before using non-veg food having excess of sodium nitrate or nitrite salts.
Cardiovascular diseases: Overuse of Sodium preservation salts can also effect negatively to core system of our body that provides, food, energy, oxygen and remove waste material. Cardiovascular system related disease like syncope, hypotension, tachycardia, palpitations, and dysrhythmia can occur due to high consumption of sodium salts.
Chances of Urticaria increase: A dermatological disease that cause burning and stinging sensation all over your body can also cause due to consuming sodiaum nitrate and nitrite salts. An urticaria or hives takes less than six weeks to show results of allergic trigger on victim’s body.
Gastrointestinal issues: It might seem normal food poising when you do vomiting or having nausea. But do not take it normal odd functioning of your body. Excess consumption of meat or bacon preserved with higher content of sodium nitrate or nitrite salts can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Methemoglobinemia: One of the most health threatening reason to reduce consumption of preserved food containing higher amount of sodium nitrate or nitrite is it increase the amount of methemoglobin (Fe3+) in blood. Presence of Fe3+ reduces the efficiency of red blood cells to bind the oxygen and causes anemia and other blood related problems.
Cidosis and Cyanosis: Another problem with due to effect of sodium salts acting as oxidizing agents on human body is Cidosis and Cyanosis. It can be described in simple words as a coloration of skin or mucous in blue or purple due to low circulation of oxygen in that part of body.
Nervous system diseases: Long time consumption of sodium salt rich food can inhibit worst nervous system related disease in children as well as adults. It includes numbness and tingling, lightheadedness, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, seizures, confusion, and coma. So, if you feel anything from above mentioned nervous system related problems, then do not forget to meet your physician and reduce preserved food consumption.
Anxiety: If you are feeling too much nervousness and stress in most negligible problem of your daily life, then you need to think twice before over eating preserved food like meat or bacon. High level of sodium nitrate and nitrite can also make you stressful for longer duration of time.
Tachypnea and Dyspnea: Sodium nitrate and nitrite salts also effects your breathing by making it too shorts breathes in rapid motion (Tachypnea) or making your breathing process too much low (Dyspnea). So, be sure about how you breathe. If you think you are having abnormal breathing pattern, then consult your doctor immediately.
