Health nutrition has made many people aware of what they eat and drink. The number of people who read the ingredient labels while purchasing packaged products has increased considerably. But despite all this, there are foods that are considered healthy even though they are harmful or not as healthy as they are thought to be. Here are the foods you should stay away from…
GLUTEN-FREE FOODS
Gluten-free does not mean healthy. Even processed gluten-free foods and desserts can contain more calories and added sugar. In addition, gluten-free foods do not contain protein, fiber, some vitamins and minerals. When buying gluten-free food, be sure to check its content.
LOW FAT OR FAT-FREE FOODS
Just because a food is low in fat doesn’t mean it’s healthier. Often to compensate for the loss of flavor, manufacturers replace fat with sugar in low-fat and non-fat products.
GRANOLA AND GRANOLA BAR
There is a great deal of confusion about granola and granola bars, one of the most popular foods of recent years. Although granola has a high nutritional value, it is also one of the foods that are high in sugar. They contain high amounts of added sugar and are very high in calories.
FRUIT YOGURT
You should not buy fruit yoghurts that decorate the cold chain shelves in the markets, neither for yourself nor for children. They also contain intense sugar, sweetener, coloring and many chemicals. It’s actually a sweet poison. It should be strictly kept away from children. Instead, adding fresh fruit to plain yogurt would be a much better choice.
PROTEIN MILK AND BARS
High protein content does not mean that the product is healthy. These products contain many artificial sweeteners, coloring chemicals. It is the healthiest to get protein naturally (meat, milk, eggs, legumes).
