It is true that in the last period it is practically almost impossible to eat something really healthy. Apart from fruit and vegetables (even here you have to be careful), everything else goes under the heading “carcinogenic”, “bad” or so on and so forth. So no to meat, no to fast food, no pasta in short. A nightmare. That everyone stems in his own way. But there are 10 foods that you should be careful when shopping, because if they are defined as healthy and dietary they are not. Eyes open on these names (and always read from what they are composed).
Everything that has a label that indicates “fat free”. In today’s culture, where the displaced dimension, the fascination of something completely fat-free is certainly difficult to ignore, especially when it comes to food. However, just these foods can bring weight gain! For example, if we take a box of biscuits identified as “fatless”, know that it is half a lie, because most of the time they are loaded with sugar, preserving calories compared to the original ones. In addition, the mental part takes over. We are so convinced that do not get fat that the package is consumed in no time. So a massive intake that does more damage than 4 cookies every day is normal.
Pre-packaged smoothies. Do not start from the assumption of saying “a smoothie is just a shake”. If you do it at home and you know how, we completely agree. But if you go to the supermarket in the supermarket, stop by. A burst of sugars combined with a series of suicide preservatives. And not only: there is almost no trace of the fruit pulp. Fibers are missing, fundamental for intestinal wellbeing. Better to eat fresh fruit.
Diet drinks. Even here one could open an entire chapter. The “sugar-free” bait is often a bowl of honey for bears. And like for smoothies, sugar is there, turned in another form (artificial sugars), like calories. It is useless to deceive ourselves that a carbonated drink (colored and of great taste), is really a panacea for the body. Drink them from time to time, but they are not a habit.
Shelled dried fruit. Most of the shelled and packaged fruit is actually a panacea for the body (taken in regular doses), but when the palate lets itself be seduced by re-editions, problems begin. The salted peanuts, those covered with chocolate or who knows what devilry, those picante. Generally all of these contain sugar, and quite a lot! Rather than give in to temptation, prepare your mix at home and bring it around as a snack.
Ready salads. This thing worries us a little. It will be that to hurry up and eat some vegetables at dinner or lunch, you choose the quickest thing, but we have discovered that the salads already prepared are not as healthy as we think. It will be that the green leaves alone do not fill us and then we look for the one with the tuna, with cheese, with meat … well. If it is not just salad, know that here too sugar is an ever-present preservative. And often in much higher dose than we expect (also seen the uncomplicated condiments).
Bagels. Lately much more present in Italian culture (also reproduced in a similar way more like a bread), it seems honestly like any sandwich, in fact. And instead, listen, listen, we are talking about 350 calories of which 66 grams of carbohydrates. If we eat them together with some cheese, some ham or even worse with something sweet, we will have an erosion in the body. If you like to taste bagels in the morning for breakfast, review your diet: better a bowl of cereals or an egg.
Margarine. Mostly used years ago (I remember that my mother and my grandmother often used it because they were thinner than butter), but in reality it is in part. It may contain less fat per serving, but many brands of margarine also contain trans fats, which can lead to heart disease.
Packaged muffins. What a good muffin! True, very true, also because they always seem to have just been made. But be careful. We are always at the crossroads: even if you try wholemeal muffins (which will surely give you more fiber), they contain many sugars. And not only. It has been shown that some of these reach even high sodium doses! Usual foregone advice: do it at home.
Soups ready. A real health attack: salt and preservatives, in a massive dose. That forces the kidneys to a double job.
Yogurt. And let’s face it, here a bit of a myth collapses. Most contain sugar and preservatives. If you really want to use it as a snack check the labels well, and choose the skinny white one.
In short, shopping is a job. Or rather, doing healthy shopping is a real daily commitment (or weekly for those with a family). That does not mean to abolish the concessions a bit ‘disgusting, but try to stem everything that makes fun of us.
