It is good if we eat non seasonal foods once in a while but eating frequently could be harmful to the body. We must not get addicted to frozen meat, fruits, veggies etc. The low nutritional quality of these frozen foods is one prime reason why we must not consume these often. Other examples of frozen foods are pizzas, sausages, peas, plain chicken etc. It must be noted that by freezing foods we could preserve the food from the time it was prepared until the time it gets consumed.
By eating frozen foods, we could get these health issues so please be careful.
Risk of diabetes:
To keep the frozen food items fresh starch is added. By adding starch, the food would get tasty plus it would improve the texture of food also. Truth is that before digestion takes place starch gets converted to sugars and any excess sugar could result in diabetes issue.
