If you are serious about living a longer and healthier life, you might need to make some small but drastic changes in your diet to eliminate toxins and support your body in creating antioxidants that keep you younger for longer. From cakes to chocolate; we are all guilty of snacking at night when we are stressed. Our busy lifestyles make us buy comfort food that can potentially shorten our lifespan. Below you will find a list of items you should stop buying to stay healthy.
Soda
These fizzy drinks are full of sugar or sweeteners, and none of them are good for your oral health or your digestion. Sweeteners and sugar are known for destroying your tooth’s enamel and causing cavities. Ask your dentist about healthier alternatives, such as water, fresh fruit juice, or fruit infused water. Tea and coffee can also stain your teeth, but they may contain important antioxidants your body needs.
Fried Food
Fried food was the nation’s favorite in the 80-s and 90-s, until scientists discovered that it is so unhealthy that it increases your risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as diabetes and high blood sugar. The worst type of fried food is the one you buy at your local takeout, as you have no idea what type of oil the restaurant uses, and how often they change it. Swap your deep fryer to a healthy air fryer today, and eliminate bad oil, while enjoying the great tasting fries and chicken.
Canned Vegetables and Fruits
Canned vegetables and fruits contain a syrup that is full of flavoring, coloring, and sugar. You don’t have to buy canned peas or beans; simply buy frozen and cook them fresh. This method will help you eliminate waste, and use exactly as much of the food item as you need. Buy a pineapple, cut it up, and put it in the fridge to snack on, instead of buying the sugar-infused juice with it, too.
Puffed Pastry
Puffed pastry is not good for your digestive system, and can cause IBS. At the same time, it is layered with fat, and that combined with white flour is deadly. If you don’t want to develop type 2 Diabetes, you should stay off white flour and pastry.
Sugary Cereals
For long decades, you were told that eating cereals in the morning is a healthy option. If you check out the box of your favorite brand, you will find plenty of scary E-numbers and sugar. To make cereals and muesli more appealing, manufacturers add a lot of sugar and artificial coloring, which is bad for your health. If you want to stay healthy and beautiful, you might want to switch to organic muesli or oats for breakfast.
Staying healthy for longer and making the most out of the nutrition offered by today’s diet is challenging. You might be told that some food items are healthy and good for you, while in the reality they contain three times your daily allowance of salt or sugar. Check the labels and try to eat as much raw fruit and vegetables to maintain your health and beauty.
