What are the precautions for barbecue in summer? Is it true that barbecue can cause cancer

Summer comes, three or five friends, in the evening, going to the street stall to have barbecue and draft beer has become a beautiful scenery line in summer. Eating barbecue is certainly a way to relax your mood, so what are the precautions for eating barbecue in summer?

1. During barbecue, avoid contact between meat and open fire, and do not let grease drip into open fire to burn. Because the smoke produced after the contact of oil and open fire contains benzopyrene, benzopyrene will adhere to the meat or vegetables when passing through the meat with the smoke, which is harmful to the health of the body. It is recommended to make a 'protective cover' for food and wrap the food with tin paper, so as not to cause grease dripping, nor to let the baked food receive 'smoke and fire'.

2. Marinate the food to be roasted with a large amount of onion, ginger and garlic before barbecue. Because the production of heterocyclic amines needs the participation of free radicals, and the addition of onion, ginger and garlic in bacon will reduce the production of free radicals, and then reduce the production of heterocyclic amines in barbecue.

3. When eating barbecue, do not drink beer. Beer is cool and refreshing. It is the choice of many people to eat barbecue with strong taste and drink beer at the same time. But this is no less than drinking poison to quench thirst. Because the alcohol in beer combines with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and benzopyrene in barbecue, it will induce gastrointestinal cancer.

4. When eating barbecue, it's best to eat foods rich in vitamin C at the same time, such as chili, chrysanthemum, balsam pear, lettuce, cabbage, kiwifruit, jujube, citrus, etc. Because vitamin C can reduce the production of carcinogen nitrite, and has certain antioxidant effect.

5. Pay attention to the diversification of food. Barbecue does not have to be barbecue, grain (baked bread) and vegetables (baked leek, baked green pepper) are also delicious. Eat a variety of food together, reduce the intake of meat, will be more healthy.
