Anything Fried
It’s common knowledge that frying food is unhealthy, and it can cause problems for those suffering from diverticulitis. Even if you are frying ingredients that aren’t necessarily unhealthy, you will still end up with a much unhealthier version of the foods you’re cooking. Fried foods are usually filled to the brim with unhealthy fats and cholesterol.
The trouble with frying foods is the infusion of oil. Even if you use healthier cooking oils to try to make up for it, the result is still food that is fried in oil. It’s well-known that fried foods can cause problems beyond diverticulitis. Not only is it addictive, but it can cause coronary heart disease, and various cancers. Frying food, even healthy ingredients, can lead to weight gain, which in turn leads to a host of health issues.
Avoiding fried foods is something you’ll have to deal with when you’re trying to limit the symptoms of diverticulitis — or trying to avoid diverticulosis. In fact, fried foods are one of those things you should avoid in general if you don’t want to end up with a host of health issues.
