Spring brings a flood of harmful messages about “preparing your body for summer,” but as always, it’s better to focus on keeping your body strong and well-nourished. Five nutritionists and naturopaths have this to say. trend Foods they always avoid, from UPF to diet foods.
Processed deli meat products. reason? It contains nitrites, which are known to have negative health effects.
commercial fruit juice. Not only does it definitely raise blood sugar levels, it also has very little nutritional value.
instant processed food. Their composition is not only questionable; If you are short on time, choose organic frozen fish along with organic frozen vegetables. Bake for 15 minutes and enjoy a healthy meal.
Prepackaged pudding. They are ultra-processed and contain additives that severely damage the microbiome and increase chronic inflammation. It’s very easy to make a homemade version using real ingredients.
0% fat yogurt. Paradoxically, consuming diet products is the best way to gain weight. It’s often sweeter (to make up for the lack of fat), but “sugar-free” versions contain artificial sweeteners.
butter. I’m not anti-butter, but I prefer ghee and healthy oils.
milk yogurt. At least the ones sold in supermarkets are inflammatory and acidifying. These contain milk proteins (such as casein) and lactose, which can be difficult for some people to digest and can cause an inflammatory response. After cutting them out, I saw a huge difference in my skin and digestion. I replaced them with plant-based yogurt and compote.
margarine. This butter substitute has no nutritional benefits whatsoever. Vegetable oils are terrible for the planet and our health, and most commercial margarines contain both trans fats (known to increase cholesterol levels and risk of heart disease) and hydrogenated vegetable oils. Instead, use real fat sources like butter, ghee, coconut, olive, and nut oils.
commercial fruit juice. These are often loaded with sugar and lack the beneficial fiber found in whole fruits. Also, his blood sugar levels may spike throughout his day, which can affect his weight and energy levels.
instant processed food. Too much salt and bad fats. I like to keep a lot of vegetables in my fridge for snacking.
