The first place in the anti-rating is occupied by alcoholic drinks. According to the expert, there is no safe amount of alcohol.
The second line is occupied by confectionery products: cakes, cookies, muffins, etc.
Eliashevich also recommended giving up sweet carbonated drinks.
In third place is industrially processed meat: sausages, hot dogs, frankfurters, and meat delicacies.
Choose products with a minimal degree of processing, the expert advised.
Fourth place is occupied by products with a high salt content – pickles, salted fish, caviar, chips, etc.
Excessive salt consumption can lead to the exacerbation of diseases such as pancreatitis and cholelithiasis, warned Eliashevich.
In addition, mayonnaise sauces are very harmful. The expert recommended replacing them with homemade sauces made from unrefined vegetable oils, wine vinegar, lemon juice and mustard.
Greek yogurt can also be a healthy alternative to mayonnaise.
