The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) suggests to avoid fried food during fasting because it is classified as unhealthy food.
Excessive fried food consumption can cause indigestion, abdominal pain, bloating, decreased energy, to weight gain.
Here are three main reasons why fried foods should be avoided at dawn and breaking the fast:
1. Fried food contains high calories
Fried foods include high -calorie foods because they are cooked with lots of oil. This process increases the number of calories contained in these foods.
For example, one portion of roasted potatoes contains about 93 calories and 0 grams of fat, whereas if fried, the calories increase to 319 calories with 17 grams of fat.
Excessive high -calorie food consumption can cause weight gain and increase the risk of obesity.
2. Fried food contains dangerous trans fat

Flour -based foods such as bakwan, donuts, fried tofu, and french fries have higher levels of acrylamide.
Excessive acrylamide consumption is associated with an increased risk of cancer, kidney disorders, and endometrial and ovarian cancer.
4. Make weakness during fasting
