What foods to avoid?


What foods to avoid?

There are so many different types of foods to buy and eat.  It is hard to know what foods are healthy to eat and foods are just a marketing scam.  Businesses use words like natural, low fat, and other health words to promote their products and brands.  In other words, just because the brand is called healthy choice or is natural the product may still be bad for you.  The fastest way to find healthy foods is by knowing what to avoid.  The first product that I avoid is margarine.  Margarine is loaded with trans-fats that increase bad cholesterol.  This can cause blood clotting and damage blood vessels.  I hate to do this to you but the next food to avoid is soda.  Soda is filled with large amounts of corn-syrup.  It is just like eating candy.  The next surprising one is Bagels.  Starchy white bagels to the flavored bagels have been stripped from all of their nutrients.  America is fat because of the next one.  Hot Dogs are loaded with calories with 80% of them from fat.  Lastly, you should avoid Movie theater popcorn.  This popcorn is loaded with calories that come straight from the butter that is injected in it.  Normal popcorn without the butter and salt is the perfect treat though.  I personally am human and love some of these items.  It is important to understand what they are doing to your body.  Small changes really add up and make the differences.  I personally like to add a slice of lemon to my water.  This helps give it some flavor without the harmful sugars.  Next, I like to purchase the butter that is mostly vegetable oil.  I understand that it is not as creamy but it gets the job don’t.  Lastly, I air pop my popcorn.  This allows me to know that it is not injected with the harmful chemicals.

  1. I see how this could be really help improve your health, however it is very difficult to avoid all these foods with so many places to eat around. I think if people ate better there would be less health problems.
