Here is a list of 20 foods that are slowly killing you.
1. Soda water
Carbonated drinks or soda water are among the greatest enemies. They can harm everything from skin and blood sugar to hormone balance and mood.
Forget about marketing and labels that claim to be a healthy product that contains nutrients and vitamins.
Everything they contain – huge amounts of sugar, food colors and preservatives. And carbonated drinks without sugar are not as good as they contain harmful artificial sweeteners.
2. Canned Tomato Sauce
Tinned tomato sauce is a masked true killer. It is a hidden source of sugar and you have never even come to mind that canned tomato sauce can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even tooth decay.
If you want to avoid all these problems, make a tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes. Or try to the crushed tomatoes without added sugar or salt, but with your favorite spices. In the worst case, choose the tomato sauce with the least sugar and sodium.
3. Sugar
If you like sweets, the sweetness can always be met in a much healthier way. Sugar acts as a drug and not only raises blood glucose and fat but can also cause heart disease.
Avoid sugar whenever you can, as this will reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer, obesity, and heart disease. Instead, enjoy fresh fruit and use honey in all recipes instead of sugar.
4. Meat Delicacies
Meat delicacies such as salami, ham, Bologna sausage and so on have a lot of nitrates, sodium, preservatives, and additives.
All these substances can increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and even behavioral problems and learning difficulties for children.
If you want to reduce their negative impact, choose meat products from local butchers, not from supermarkets. Or better still, learn to live without these products.
5. Vegetable Oil
Vegetable oil is an integral part of our kitchen and we do not even think about its benefits. However, some of these oils are pressed from genetically modified plants and we do not yet know what the long-term effects of these products are.
In addition, vegetable oils contain dangerous trans fats that can cause cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
So always read the labels and if the oil is refined, don’t buy it because the free radicals in it promote cancer cells, accelerate aging processes, and many other problems.
So choose healthy alternatives such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp seed oil, coconut oil or avocado oil.
Memorize these most popular toxic foods you eat every day:
6. Margarine
This is one of the most unhealthy and one of the worst products in your diet. So give it up!
Margarine is like a very bad version of butter made with hydrogenated vegetable oils. This is a much more unnatural product than you think.
It’s an absolute chemistry. These are trans fats that can damage your heart, blood vessels and cholesterol.
If you want a healthier alternative, go to butter. Other healthy alternatives include olive oil and avocado oil, sometimes even a flaxseed oil which can be spread on bread.
7. Sausages and ”hot dogs”
Sausages and other similar smoked and salted meat products have many health-damaging preservatives.
If you have not yet convinced you, you should know that hot dogs contain a lot of sodium and toxins that increase the risk of cancer.
If you still cannot resist this food, at least make sure that it uses meat coming directly from farmers or organic meat.
8. Potato Chips
All roasted foods contain dangerous substances called acrylamide. Potato chips are no exception.
Acrylamide increases the risk of colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and rectal cancer. So avoid potato crisps or make a healthier, version at home. Pour some oil on the cut potatoes, add a little salt and fry them in the oven.
9. Salad infusions/sauce in bottles
Salad bottles sold in bottles are rich in sugar, artificial colors, and have high fructose corn syrup.
When you pour your salad in this nutritionally useless product, its value becomes the same as potato chips or hot dog.
So refuse the salad dressings and replace them with lemon juice, apple vinegar or balsamic vinegar with a little olive oil or flaxseed oil. Such salad dressing will be really healthy.
10. Artificial sweeteners
No, they are not better than sugar. In fact, they are often worse.
Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, neotame, acesulfame potassium, etc.
It may have fewer calories, but they still increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome.
You may not have noticed, but many chewing gums without sugar contain aspartame, which is considered the most dangerous substance in the world.
Sugar has healthy alternatives such as honey, maple syrup, and agave syrup.
Innocent products actually are the worst
11. Alcohol
Even though some disagree with this view, we must tell you clearly: alcohol does not bring any health benefits.
It has extremely high calories, can cause dehydration, damage the liver, increase weight, cause depression and cause skin problems.
Not to mention all those bad decisions that we take in response to it.
So if you want to harm all systems in your body, from the brain to the liver and the skin, believe in marketing and drink alcohol every day. Otherwise, avoid it.
12. White bread and refined flour grains
White bread and refined flour Grains are good, right? So the bread must be a good product? Yes, if it is not white bread made from refined flour.
White flour removes nutritious fibers, minerals, vitamins, and everything you get from them – grain waste mixed with chemicals to produce a beautiful white color.
However, behind all this is weight gain, thyroid, and other organ damage. So always choose full grain flour!
13. Milk products
Yes, milk is the first food we eat in this world. However, the mother’s milk differs significantly from cow’s milk.
In addition, lactose intolerance often develops with age.
Milk products are associated with poor nutrient uptake, migraine, arthritis, cancer, allergies and asthma. So let’s forget all those wise marketing tricks.
If you can’t get milk, go to coconut or almond milk, because their taste is great and they won’t kill you slowly like cow’s milk.
14. Roasted meat in a barbecue
It is difficult to resist the smell of roasted meat in a barbecue, but it is worth trying. In this process, chemicals entering the meat are associated with the risk of pancreatic cancer and breast cancer.
If you can’t live without the meat so prepared, at least try to limit its consumption and marinate it with rosemary, it will reduce the number of carcinogens.
15. Energy Bars
For sportspeople, energy bars may be necessary because they need to restore energy quickly.
But if you are not one of them, try to avoid these calorie bombs. There are lots of sugar in the energy bars (we’ve already spoken about it above), a lot of fructose-containing corn syrup, and can also be trans-fatty.
So basically it is a candy rich in calories, sugar and artificial ingredients. In other words, this is an unhealthy bomb.
16. Fast Food
Of course, fast food is delicious, it is quite inexpensive and most importantly – it is full everywhere.
Let’s explain why it’s so delicious? It contains the same things that slowly kill you: trans fats, sugar, salt, preservatives, various additives, food paints, and other chemicals that improve the look and taste.
Fast food can contribute to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, mood disorders, weight gain, metabolic disorders, and so on.
17. Wheat
Wheat has carbohydrates that suddenly and strongly increase blood sugar levels.
This stimulates insulin production and weight gain. Over time, your pancreas will get tired of it and develop insulin resistance, and then a straight path to diabetes.
In addition, high sugar levels promote the production of compounds that accelerate aging processes and skin wrinkles.
So if you eat wheat, you sense faster and risk diabetes.
18. Breakfast cereals
Breakfast cereals are not as innocent as they may look in their colors and sometimes the toys found in the box.
They are rich in sugar, artificial colors, preservatives, genetically modified products, and often no longer contain the nutrients that were before their production.
So choose oat flakes with a little fresh or dried fruit. The taste will be great and it will not harm your health.
19. Salt
Salt plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure.
If you take too much salt, your blood pressure will rise and your risk of cardiovascular disease will increase.
It is not necessary to give up salt completely because it is necessary for the body, just limit its amount and control the amount of sodium in processed food.
Sufficient and safe sodium content of 3.75 grams per day. Everything over 6 grams poses a serious health risk.
20. Commercial fruit juice
Do not believe in falling notes that 100 percent of the fruit in your juice pack.
Commercial fruit juices often contain added sugar, dyes and preservatives, and many nutrients are lost during pasteurization.
So the best solution is to find a reliable local juice bar or make fruit juices at home.
Even better – eat raw fruits.
