05.02.2024 06:20
It is impossible to study the topic of proper nutrition to the end. A large number of technologists, specialists, nutritionists, dietitians and doctors provide a huge number of facts about healthy nutrition, many of which contradict each other. But there are several products that most of us mistakenly consider useful.
Freshly squeezed juices
They contain a huge amount of concentrated fruit acids and sugar, lead to a sharp rise in blood sugar, irritate the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, and are contraindicated for people with stomach and intestinal diseases. In addition, they are very high in calories.
Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals
Despite the rich composition, at first glance, there is nothing useful in them.
Flavorings, sugar and a huge amount of starch are all that can be found in them.
Therefore, for breakfast it is better to give preference to slow-cooking cereals or protein omelets.
Drinking yoghurts
Despite the benefits of fermented milk products for the gastrointestinal tract, it is better to avoid drinking yoghurts.
Flavors, colors, artificial dietary fiber and 18-22 grams of sugar per 200 ml of product are not what promotes health.
They can be replaced with homemade yoghurts made with a special starter.
Sports water with vitamins and isotonic drinks – complete absence of natural vitamins in the composition, only dye and fructose.
It is worth paying attention to the calorie content and thinking about whether such a drink can have at least some benefit.
Breads
Most nutrition experts unanimously claim that bread should be completely excluded from the diet of a healthy person, and that crispbread should be used for sandwiches.
Is it true? You can't call crispbread a harmful product, but it doesn't bring any particular benefit to the body either. The only plus is that one crispbread weighs significantly less than one piece of bread, which means it has fewer calories.
