We live in an age of consumption along with the pursuit of a healthy and beautiful body. Let's talk about the 6 most harmful foods that should not be bought or minimized in our diet.
Red meat and meat processed with chemical additives such as liquid smoke, as well as fried meat, according to scientists, increase the risk of cancer. The recommended dose of red meat is no more than 500 g per week for an adult, but it is desirable to exclude processed foods altogether.
In sausages and frankfurters, the main danger is fraught with preservatives and chemical additives that allow food to be stored for quite a long time. Also in such products there are a lot of trans fats, salt and flavor enhancers, which do nothing good for our body. It is better to limit the use of such products, but if you really want to, then try to eat sausages no more than once, maximum two, a week.
By itself, salt is absolutely not terrible, and even useful, the main thing is to observe the measure. The recommended dose per day is not more than 5 g. If you "oversalt", then this can lead to serious disruption of the body: edema, increased pressure, osteoporosis, obesity, and even oncology. Also, an excess of salt in the body disrupts the balance of trace elements, and increases the load on the organs. You need to drink more water, it perfectly removes excess sodium from the body.
Another white enemy for the body. Sugar and everything connected with it (sweet sodas, sweets, pastries, sweet bars) does not contain any nutrients and trace elements, is quickly absorbed and leads to glucose spikes. Nutritionists say that you can eat no more than 60 grams per day.
Mayonnaise, prepared at the factory, falls into the list of the most harmful products. And all because very often, instead of oil, trans fats are added to mayonnaise, which are much cheaper and much more harmful. For long-term storage, many preservatives, stabilizers and emulsifiers are added to mayonnaise, as this sauce deteriorates very quickly. For example, homemade mayonnaise will last no more than a day. If you get carried away with purchased mayonnaise, you can get a lot of health problems: allergies, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, obesity. For lovers of this sauce, we recommend switching to homemade mayonnaise.
A lot has been written about the dangers of alcohol, and for good reason. Of course, a glass of good wine does not hurt anyone, this is just a recommendation for a daily allowance. But if abused, it can lead to diseases of the nervous, cardiac, circulatory system and gastrointestinal tract. Also, alcohol destroys brain cells, but they are not restored.
Chips regularly make lists of the most unhealthy foods. And there are reasons: they have a lot of oil, salt, chemical additives, flavor enhancers, preservatives, the list goes on and on. Along with this, there are absolutely no useful substances in the chips. Limit consumption of this product to 1 time per month.
Choose the "right" products and be healthy!
