 Here are the 5 worst health foods you must stay clear of: |
1. BREAKFAST CEREAL |
Because of added synthetic ingredients and sugar cereals aren't as healthy as whole foods. Sugar increases the number of empty calories and provides no nutritional benefit from vitamins or minerals. |
2. LOW FAT OR SKIM MILK |
Always choose whole milk over the low-fat options. It has more saturated and monounsaturated fats which make you feel full, improve your body composition and support metabolism. Also, the skim milk is infused with powdered milk to improve its consistency, which can damage your arteries. |
3. SPORTS DRINKS |
With their claims of being the ultimate thirst quenchers, there is still a striking lack of evidence to supportthat. A glance at the nutrition facts also reveals a lot of sugar along with their electrolytes, and a lot of calories too. |
4. WHEAT/ WHOLE-GRAIN BREAD |
Don't rely on the labels, not all wheat breads contain pure, whole grains. In fact, many contain partially hydrogenated oils and other things to improve their shelf life. Search for nutrition facts and make sure that the first ingredient is either 'whole grains' or 'whole wheat' to be safe. |
5. FAT-FREE FOODS |
When you strip the fat from foods you lose all of their natural flavour, and hidden sugars are added, to makethem taste good. Also, they're often added with trans- fats and artificial sweeteners, to make them fat-free,which contribute to various health problems like arthritis, obesity and hormone imbalances, etc . |
