1. Sushi is high in calories and carbohydrates

In sushi there is very little protein.

If you think you are losing weight effectively by eating sushi, you should stop right away. A sushi roll (about 6 pieces) contains between 300 and 350 calories, and usually you will not only eat one roll at a time. Eat 2 - 3 sushi rolls that give you 1000 calories, a small number.

Calorie intake is just one of the key things to help you build a healthy diet. You need to know exactly how many calories you are loading into your body, if you don't want to be overweight.

2. Sushi contains very little protein

Many people think sushi is a good source of protein. Most people think that they will have enough protein for the whole week by eating two or three pieces of sushi every day. But in fact, sushi has very little protein.

According to Seafish.org, nutrition experts recommend eating two portions of fish each week. Part of about 140 grams of fish. The amount of fish in each sushi roll is only about 5 grams. This means you have to eat up to 56 sushi rolls to get the necessary protein!

3. Sushi can contain mercury

Sushi ingredients can contain very small amounts of mercury. Mercury is a toxin that negatively affects the nervous system and endocrine system.

Tuna, a high-mercury fish, is a popular ingredient for sushi processing. Mercury can impair vision, neuralgia, cause dyslexia and muscle weakness.

Sushi contains lots of sodium.

4. Sushi is too salty

Sushi contains lots of sodium. A portion of sushi usually contains 4.5 grams of salt while the maximum amount of salt you should absorb is 6 grams per day. Sushi in rice is often cooked with salt and soy sauce, as is salted fish and vegetables.

If you put sushi in soy sauce as a traditional way of eating, more salt is absorbed because a spoonful of soy sauce contains nearly 1 gram of sodium.

5. Sushi may contain parasites

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that people should not eat raw seafood because of the risk of infection with bacteria, viruses and parasites.It has been found that sushi parasites are not processed properly. This can cause some consequences such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain. Some cases of parasites also destroy the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.

These facts can make many sushi believers startled. However, remember that high-quality, standard sushi still has many good effects. It is important that you choose carefully.
