1. High salt content: Ham sausages often add a large amount of salt to extend their shelf life and enhance their flavor. Long term excessive intake of high salt foods increases the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease.
2. Additives and preservatives: Various food additives and preservatives, such as nitrate and nitrite, are used in the production process of ham sausage. These substances may be converted into carcinogens under specific conditions, and long-term intake is harmful to health.
3. Nutritional imbalance: Although ham sausage is rich in protein, it is mostly processed meat with a relatively single nutritional component, lacking dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Excessive consumption can lead to nutritional imbalance and affect health.
