The dangers of eating seblak every day
Eating seblak occasionally is not a problem, but if it is too often, there are a number of dangers you need to be aware of.Summarizing from various sources, below are the dangers of eating seblak every day which can have a bad impact on your health.
1. Erosive gastritis
One of the most serious dangers of eating seblak is the risk of erosive gastritis.Gastritis itself is inflammation of the mucosa, the protective lining of the stomach.
“Eating too much seblak, especially when the seasoning is too spicy or when eating, the stomach wall is not in good condition, then the possibility of erosive gastritis can occur,” said internal medicine specialist, Aru Ariadno, as quoted from

.
Erosive gastritis occurs when the mucosa is damaged to the point of causing sores due to irritation from stomach acid, alcohol, or other chemicals in food.This condition can cause pain and serious digestive disorders.
2. Intestinal disorders
The spicy cayenne pepper content in seblak can trigger an irritating reaction in the digestive tract.This causes bowel movements to become faster (peristalsis) and increases fluid production in the intestines, which ultimately triggers diarrhea.
If it occurs frequently, this disorder can disrupt digestive function and make the body lack fluids.
3. Insomnia
Frequently eating spicy food can also cause insomnia.According to Ira Purnamasari, lecturer at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Muhammadiyah University of Surabaya, spicy food consumed before bed can make the stomach feel full and uncomfortable.
“This causes discomfort when lying down to sleep, resulting in sleep disturbances at night (insomnia) which ultimately reduces the quality of sleep,” said Ira, reported on the page

4. Edema
The danger of seblak also comes from its main ingredient, namely crackers which are high in flour and salt.Apart from that, the use of MSG and other spices containing salt further increases the body’s sodium intake.

, excessive salt consumption makes the kidneys retain more fluid.This causes swelling or edema, especially in the hands and feet.
5. High blood pressure
Apart from edema, continuous high salt consumption can potentially increase the risk of high blood pressure (hypertension).
Excessive sodium affects fluid balance and pressure in the blood vessels, causing blood pressure to rise.It should be noted, hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
Indirectly, the danger of eating seblak every day is that it can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
