How Often Can You Eat Dumplings: Doctor Ginzburg Answers
The favorite dish of all bachelors and students – dumplings – can be prepared even without culinary experience.
Overall, the dish is filling and even healthy, not to mention very tasty.
Doctor of Medical Sciences, nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg told Sputnik radio how often you can eat dumplings without causing harm to your health.
If we talk about health, then it is worth considering eating dumplings with poultry filling.
But the consumption of dumplings with red meat filling should be limited.
The problem is not in the dumplings themselves, but in the red meat, which is more harmful than poultry.
According to the nutritionist, it is not advisable to eat pork, beef and other red meat more than 2-3 times a week.
Moreover, this rule applies to healthy people, and even less often in the presence of cardiovascular and other diseases, the doctor advises.
You shouldn't delude yourself with the hope that homemade dumplings will be healthier than store-bought ones.
As for the presence of vegetable protein in store-bought dumplings, there is no need to be afraid of it.
As Mikhail Ginzburg noted, in combination with an animal it brings benefits.
Finally, the doctor reminded us about the dangers of fried foods and salt.
Therefore, dumplings should be cooked and consumed with a minimum amount of fatty and salty sauces.
