We usually know khoresht ghormeh sabzi as a delicious and healthy food because it contains all kinds of vegetables, beans, and red meat.
Vegetables that are rich in vitamins. Beans contain high protein and fiber, and red meat is rich in protein.
But every food should be consumed in the right amount and the right amount, and we may need more than necessary.
In the following, I will explain to you more about what problems such as over-frying vegetables and excessive use of beans and meat can do to the human body.
Possible harms of beans in Qormeh sabzi:
For example, red beans are used in khoresh ghormeh sabzi. It is true that this bean is rich in fiber and protein and has many benefits in traditional medicine. But if someone has a poor physical condition or his temperament is incompatible with eating beans, ma has problems.
The biggest problem that eating too many beans can cause is bloating. Of course, this problem has a solution, and it is possible to eliminate bean bloating to a great extent.
What should we do to get rid of bean bloating?
It is very simple. We only have to soak the beans in hot water the night before cooking and change the water several times.
We continue to soak the beans until we want to cook them. This helps to get rid of bean bloating.
Another problem eating beans causes is that it is slow to digest and may cause bad conditions for those with stomach problems.
Red beans are high in calories. One hundred grams of red beans have 340 calories, and it is considered a meal by itself, consuming too much of it causes obesity and overweight, so if a person is on a diet, he should be careful in consuming beans.
One of the other problems that excessive consumption of beans can cause is that it increases the concentration of blood and causes an increase in bleeding during menstruation.
This bean is hot, and its excessive consumption may cause miscarriage in pregnant women. All these problems arise when we consume beans excessively and in large quantities.
Otherwise, consuming as much as it is very useful and nutritious.
Harms of meat in khoresh ghormeh sabzi:
As you know, the mutton or veal you use in ghormeh sabzi has a lot of protein, but consuming too much red meat has some disadvantages. One of the problems it can cause is overweight.
Eating too much red meat causes overweight, and it is better for those who have a special diet and are looking to lose weight to use less red meat in their meals.
This is why many people cook vegetarian ghormeh sabzi and do not use meat mushrooms, or soy instead of meat.
Consuming too much meat reduces the body’s energy level; that’s why it is better to use a lot of fruits and vegetables so that more oxygen enters the body’s organs.
Signs of premature aging appear in some people with excessive consumption of red meat, and the solution is to consume more fruits and vegetables, which rejuvenate the skin and prevent the formation of spots and wrinkles.
Mutton has a lot of fat in it, which is why it is preferred in cooking ghormeh sabzi because it improves the appearance of the stew and makes it look greasy and glossy.
However, these saturated fats in meat cause high blood pressure in people with high blood pressure and cause problems.
But if meat is consumed in the right amount or a small amount, it controls blood pressure. Red meat has little fiber, and as a result, it causes disturbances in the digestive system.
It may even cause constipation in people, so it is better to use a lot of fruits and vegetables so that this constipation problem does not occur or is resolved if it occurs.
As you know, meat is a slow-digesting food, which increases digestive enzymes, increasing the possibility of inflammation in the body in various diseases.
A disease that can occur in people over 60 years old with excessive consumption of red meat occurs (of course, it rarely occurs in some young people); mad cow disease starts with an attack on the human brain and causes brain damage, brain damage, and early death. This disease is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).
Another disease that high consumption of red meat can cause is gout or gout aggravation.
When having this disease, blood uric acid rises. The breakdown of proteins produces uric acid, and a large amount of this uric acid and the deposition of crystals in the joints cause severe pain.
This food can cause various problems and diseases only if consumed excessively or if healthy and safe meats are not used.

Harms of vegetables in a Qorme sabzi:
The vegetables in khoresh sabzi also have a variety of vitamins. However, their nutritional properties decrease significantly when these vegetables are fried in oil for a long time. But it is okay to know some of the disadvantages of these vegetables in their excessive use.
For example, excessive use of leek burns the blood, reduces vision, and damages the gums.
Eating a lot of leeks at night also disturbs sleep. Consuming too much parsley during pregnancy is not recommended because it causes uterine contractions.
Consuming as much as cilantro, like other vegetables, does not cause any special problems; only excessive consumption is not recommended for pregnant women and may sometimes cause severe fatigue.
