Shawarma has become a stable junk in Nigeria, mostly preferred by young ladies who almost can’t go a day without taking a bite. Is it safe?
Before we delve into the dangers of Shawarma, perhaps it would be wise to discuss its health benefits, and yes, there are a handful of health benefits.
-Good shawarma are usually prepared with a lot of vegetables and this is a good form of fiber which ensures a healthy Digestive system
-Some shawarma are made with chicken which is a good source of protein, vitamins and some healthy fats
– Shawarma contains a lot of carbs and calories which can be useful in people trying to gain weight
Now the health risks
A bill of the health risks of shawarma are centred around the hotdog 🌭 which is processed meat classified as a Class A carcinogen. Carcinogens are items
which have the propensity to cause cancer.
Hotdogs also contain preservatives and unhealthy fatty acids which is detrimental to heart health and brain healthy .
Of course having a bite of Shawarma will not automatically give you cancer. These things are cumulative effects.
