What foods are bad to eat. The most dangerous foods for health

Probably, few of us know that our health and external beauty largely depends on the balance of our diet, and not on the use of expensive cosmetics and salon procedures. Harmful food and its daily use adversely affects our internal health, which negatively affects the condition of the skin, hair, nails. What food is considered unhealthy?

Food is considered harmful not because it contains a huge amount of calories (in this case, the danger is only overweight). Everything is much more serious. In fact, what you eat will ultimately affect how you look. Consider the most harmful foods that should be completely eliminated from consumption, or reduced to a minimum in your diet.

First of all, surrogate products are considered junk food, which are only effectively disguised as natural. Among them are various margarines, ready-made dressings, sauces, mayonnaises (except home-made), yoghurt products (not natural yoghurts), etc. All of them are designed to make our food tasty. But in fact, they contain a huge amount of trans fats, carcinogens and other chemical additives that cause irreparable damage to our health. In this case, the way out will be the independent preparation of sauces, dressings, etc.

Instant foods - noodles, all kinds of canned soups, bouillon cubes, mashed potatoes, and so on, are also classified as harmless products due to their composition, which almost entirely consists of chemistry.

Foods that are high in refined sugar are also unhealthy foods. Such products include carbonated sweet drinks, muffins, cookies, chocolate bars, lollipops, chewing sweets and lozenges, ready-made compotes, juices, candied fruits, etc. for example, one glass of lemonade contains about five teaspoons of sugar. Can this drink quench your thirst? Not! But it can be detrimental to health.

Harmful food also includes various smoked foods. Among them: sausages, fish, sausages, meat, sausages, ham, ready-made pates and other products that have hidden fat in their composition. In such products, the meat is skillfully masked by lard, fat and skin, which occupy more than 40% of the total mass of the product. In addition, they add a huge amount of dyes and flavors.

Refined flour, as well as products made on its basis, are also considered junk food, since its composition is completely free from the complex of B vitamins and vitamin E.

Dried fruits should also be excluded from consumption (with the exception of self-dried ones), since strong chemicals are added to them for long-term preservation, which is unsafe for health.

Potato chips are probably considered the most harmful and dangerous food in the world, since they are not only carbohydrates and fats in their pure form, but also a large number of artificial seasonings and flavor enhancers. At the same time, chips made from a mixture of mashed potatoes and various additives are of great danger.

Alcohol also fell into the category of unsafe foods, as even in minimal amounts it prevents the body from absorbing vitamins. In addition, alcoholic beverages are high in calories, and this negatively affects not only the beauty of the skin, but also the figure.

As for preservatives, any addition of such “additives” to the product makes it harmful to our body. Industrial processing of products deprives them of vitamins and minerals.

Additives E.
Foods containing food additives of group E are considered dangerous, since most of them can cause allergic reactions, lead to upset stomach and intestines. Some of their species are officially approved for use. As a rule, prohibited E-additives are indicated on product labels in the smallest letters. For example, E-239 is hexamethylenetetramine or hexamine used in medicine for food poisoning. And for tourists, this additive is known under the guise of camping fuel. In an acidic environment, urotropine decomposes and forms formaldehyde, which, due to its toxic properties, is an excellent preservative element. Formaldehyde itself (E-240) as a preservative is banned, and E-239, from which it is formed, is allowed to be added to canned food. In particular, it is used in canned Atlantic herring in its own juice. As a result, it turns out that a harmless additive is simply masked in food. Therefore, if the E-239 additive is present in the composition of the products, it is better to refuse to buy it, even if the manufacturer assures that it is absolutely safe for health.

Carcinogens.
According to some observations, it was revealed that carcinogens can cause the occurrence of malignant tumors. These substances arise in the process of frying on an open fire, with long heating of vegetable oil, as well as when it is reheated. Therefore, fatty fried foods should be excluded from your diet. Instead of frying, you can steam or boil foods. If you cannot imagine your existence without fried food, then try not to heat the oil too much, and use only fresh oil for each cooking. Since the action of carcinogens is neutralized by acidic marinades, when grilling meat or shish kebab, do not forget about preliminary thorough soaking of meat in vinegar or wine. Ordinary tomatoes, grapefruit juice, radishes, radishes, horseradish, celery, seafood will help to nullify the effect of carcinogens.

GMO.
Genetically modified organisms are living organisms (mainly plants) created using genetic technologies. Concerning the safety of GMO products, disputes around the world still do not subside. There are not enough arguments to draw unambiguous conclusions in one direction or another. However, the results of ongoing research in this area raise some concerns. For example, scientists from France have proven toxicity to the liver and kidneys of one of the varieties of modified corn. Experiments on rats showed that the group of rodents that ate such corn developed serious disturbances in the functioning of internal organs, and the composition of the blood also changed.

Potentially dangerous products should be considered beets, prepared meat products, since they often contain soy, which can be modified, rice, sweets (the composition contains soy lecithin), corn, and potatoes.

But, unfortunately, it is impossible to determine whether this product has been subjected to genetic modification by appearance. Now manufacturers are required to apply appropriate labeling to products, you just need to carefully study the label before buying.

Salt.
Salt is a very harmful product, as it increases blood pressure and causes the accumulation of toxins in the body. Of course, in small quantities, salt is necessary for our body, but everything should be in moderation. Just a quarter of a teaspoon of salt daily is required to maintain the normal functioning of the body. Everything that we consume in excess of this norm can adversely affect our health.

By the way, salt does not always enter the body only from the salt shaker. Foods that contain a huge amount of salt do not always taste pronounced saltiness. A lot of salt is present in cheese, semi-finished meat products, bouillon cubes, ready-made sauces, chips. Salt can be replaced with seasonings and spices. For example, apple cider vinegar can be added to vegetable salad, parsley or green onions to mashed potatoes, rosemary to meat dishes, and tarragon to poultry or fish dishes. If you overdo it with salt, then watermelon, cucumbers, beets and Jerusalem artichoke will help get rid of it, as they have a strong diuretic effect.

Cholesterol.
It is produced by the liver and comes in two varieties. "Useful" cholesterol performs a protective function, protecting the walls of blood vessels from various kinds of damage, participates in the construction of new cells, and is also necessary in the production of certain hormones. "Bad" cholesterol is deposited on the walls of blood vessels, disrupting blood circulation and contributing to the occurrence of atherosclerosis. As a result, people with high levels of bad cholesterol in the blood most often have problems with the cardiovascular system, blood pressure and memory impairment in old age.

This substance is present in large quantities in egg yolk, squid, caviar, mussels, and fish. But dietary cholesterol does not cause an increase in the level of bad cholesterol in the blood, so do not deny yourself eating seafood or scrambled eggs. The main culprits of cholesterol plaques are considered to be saturated fats, which are so abundant in butter, lard, fatty meat, offal. Again, they cannot be completely excluded from the diet, since they are required for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. It is important to observe the measure. If you consume 2000 kcal per day, then the body needs somewhere around 15 g of saturated fat. Anything in excess of this amount negatively affects health.

You can still fight cholesterol. To do this, you should monitor your weight, because the higher it is, the more the liver produces cholesterol. You should stop smoking, which, as proven by American scientists, increases blood cholesterol. Daily exercise, running helps cleanse the blood of fat. It is also necessary to include legumes in your diet, which, due to their high fiber content, can remove excess cholesterol from the body. In addition, lemon, cabbage, blackcurrant, due to the content of vitamin C, protect blood vessels from cholesterol plaques. And cottage cheese, fermented baked milk and kefir, due to the calcium content, are also good helpers in the fight against cholesterol.

Modified fats (trans fats).
Trans fats are not a harmless additive. Studies have shown that they reduce immunity, stress resistance, increase the risk of developing diabetes, cause a violation of prostaglandin metabolism, disrupt the cytochrome oxidase enzyme, which is the main participant in the process of neutralizing carcinogens and chemicals. In addition, trans fats are a major cause of low birth weight babies and also worsen the quality of breast milk in breastfeeding mothers.

In accordance with the requirements of GOST 37-91, the fat content of butter should not be lower than 82.5%, otherwise this product can no longer be called butter. Any addition of hydrogenated animal or vegetable fats to the oil automatically converts it into the category of margarines. Not surprisingly, margarine does not attract the attention of insects or rodents ...

It is very common to hear that our favorite morning drink, coffee, is also included in the list of unsafe foods. From the use of coffee in huge doses, you can die, not to mention saying goodbye to the normal nervous system. But, you have to try very hard to drink a lethal dose of coffee, I think not everyone can do it. In addition, coffee in moderation is even good for the heart. Plus, coffee is one of the strongest antioxidants.

Of great importance is the water that we use as a drink and on which we cook food. It is the basis of all living things. Tap water in its composition contains a large number of substances of inorganic origin, which are not absorbed by our body. The addition of chlorine and some softening agents kill the water, making it inanimate. In this case, you can use high-quality water filters or buy drinking water in stores, but at the same time from trusted manufacturers. Boiled water is also not drinkable as it is considered dead.

From this follows a natural and logical question: what to eat? Of course, you should not eat only raw vegetables and fruits, besides, the absolute benefits and safety of a raw diet have not been proven. It's just that everyone always needs to observe moderation and neutralize the consumption of harmful dishes with a large amount of fresh vegetables and fruits.

In addition to unhealthy food, overeating and non-compliance with the regime negatively affect our health and beauty. You should never fill up at night, even if during the day you did not have the opportunity to eat normally. Dinner should be in the form of a light snack. In the evening, you can afford some low-fat meat, low-fat fish, vegetables and fruits, and you should not eat bread, flour, sweet and fatty after 18 hours. Refusing to eat after six in the evening is not a recipe for weight loss, this rule should become an invariable part of your lifestyle. Then you will not have problems with either appearance or health.

Do you think about what you eat? After all, it’s not just that they say that our health largely depends on what is on our plate. People who lead a healthy lifestyle and adhere to proper nutrition try to give up harmful products, replacing them with healthy ones. Most of our favorite foods are very tasty and it is not easy to believe that they can cause any harm to health. However, we do not even know about the composition of many of them. We offer the top 15 most unhealthy foods that should be excluded or at least significantly limited in your diet.

Sausages and sausages

Regular consumption of sausages and sausages, beloved by many, but at the same time very harmful products, can lead to oncology of the stomach and intestines. Scientists have proven that they do not contain any useful substance. Sausages and frankfurters contain a lot of flavor enhancers, salts, dyes and harmful fats. Solid preservatives - can it be useful? It's better to buy homemade meat. It's healthier and tastier.

Sweet sparkling water

Perhaps there is not a single person who has not drunk sweet sparkling water at least once in his life. Meanwhile, it is known that with the help of Coca-Cola, so beloved by many, you can perfectly and without difficulty get rid of scale in the kettle or limescale in the toilet. Now imagine what happens to your stomach when you drink these drinks!

At first glance, harmless soda water contains a large amount of sugar or sweeteners, acids, preservatives, flavors, carbon dioxide and dyes. This is such a chemical bomb!

Chocolate bars and lollipops

Obesity, oncology, diabetes, dental problems, allergies... This is not a complete list of diseases that you can get by regularly eating chocolate bars and hard candies. Unlike, for example, dried fruits, these products do not contain any nutrients. But they contain a huge amount of preservatives and sugar, which is instantly absorbed by the body, requiring a new portion.

Store bought ketchup and mayonnaise

With ketchup and mayonnaise, you can eat almost everything, even some spoiled foods. After all, the emulsifiers and preservatives contained in them will hide the natural smell. In addition, mayonnaise is high in fat (including trans fat), while ketchup is high in sugar and spices. Also, these products are stuffed with flavor enhancers (including monosodium glutamate), which are addictive and increase appetite. So even the healthiest food paired with these sauces can become poisonous.

Regular use of ketchup and mayonnaise leads to serious diseases of the stomach and intestines, as well as to obesity and a tendency to allergies. In addition, these products are saturated with carcinogens (the same ones that cause cancer).

Instant puree and noodles

For today's crazy pace of life, mashed potatoes and instant noodles seem like the perfect option. Only here, with the regular use of such junk food in our body, the metabolism is disturbed. After all, the body seems to receive the necessary calories, only the useful substances in these products are reduced to zero, which means that the feeling of hunger will very soon make itself felt again.

Synthetic monosodium glutamate contained in these products, in addition to harm to health, also brings addiction. Food allergies, cancer, liver problems, indigestion, nervous breakdowns - you can get all this in addition to fast food. Fast and cheap!

Margarine

Margarine, which is often used as a substitute for butter, increases the level of bad cholesterol in the blood. But this is not the worst thing that eating it can lead to. In addition to emulsifiers and antioxidants, margarine contains trans fats - artificially synthesized fats that do not exist in nature; respectively, those that our body is not able to process. Thus, the body is slagged, and the metabolism is disturbed. This, in turn, leads to obesity, diseases of the cardiovascular system, and malignant neoplasms.

Purchased pastries

It is worth remembering that almost all baked goods sold in stores (cakes, buns, pastries, cookies), in addition to preservatives, additives, dyes and a large amount of sugar, are stuffed with margarine and, accordingly, trans fats that are dangerous to health. Therefore, try to replace purchased pastries with homemade ones or carefully study the composition of the purchased products.

Semi-finished products

What could be easier and faster than preparing semi-finished products? These enticingly delicious and beautiful pre-fried fish fingers, patties and steaks contain preservatives, monosodium glutamate and trans fats. What the consumption of the above substances leads to, we have already said earlier. Do you still want to make your life easier by buying convenience foods?

Milk and dairy products with a long shelf life

It is very tempting to buy a carton of milk that will keep open in the refrigerator for several weeks. But think about how pasteurized milk can be stored for so long? The answer is simple: everything happens thanks to antibiotics, which do not allow the bacteria that lead to the souring of the product to develop quickly. Give preference to dairy products that can be stored for up to 7 days. The longer the shelf life, the more preservatives are contained in milk, kefir or yogurt.

Chips and french fries

French fries and chips can be attributed to one of the leaders in the list of the most harmful products. They contain a huge amount of monosodium glutamate, which disrupts metabolism and leads to cancer. The same effects are caused by trans fats, which are also rich in chips and french fries. Just imagine the amount of oil in which these products are fried. But vegetable oil, when frying, automatically turns into a dangerous carcinogen (a substance that causes cancer). The preservatives contained in these products are also indicated by their shelf life. And it's practically unlimited.

Hamburgers, hot dogs and other fast food

An appetizing bun with a sausage or a fried piece of meat is a favorite food of many people. To prepare such sandwiches, many food additives and sauces are used, the dangers of which have already been mentioned. In addition, such products cause a jump in blood sugar. And accordingly, the feeling of hunger after such a snack will come very quickly!

Try experimenting with making a similar hamburger at home. Its taste will be very different from the purchased one, because you will not add flavor enhancers that are addictive and even addictive.

Salted herring

Urotropin, added to herring for its long-term storage, in combination with vinegar, which is also present in purchased lightly salted herring, turns into formaldehyde. This carcinogen accumulates in the body and is very dangerous to health. You should also remember the amount of salt that is contained in this product and also adversely affects human health. Therefore, it is better to abandon the purchased salted herring in favor of home-salted herring. If you still want to treat yourself to store-bought herring, buy heavily salted fish and soak it in water before eating.

Sprats

Any canned food is a "dead" product, so there are no useful substances in them. But preservatives and food additives are present. That is why these products are recommended to be used only in exceptional cases (hunger, hiking, etc.).

As for canned sprats, in addition to oil and salt, they contain benzapyrene (a substance related to poisons and causing cancer). This is not to mention the fact that canned sprats are a very high-calorie product.

Broiler chickens

It is generally accepted that chicken meat is one of the healthiest. And indeed it is. But only now the meat of far from all chickens is useful for use, and eating some is even dangerous. We are talking about broiler chickens. If you pay attention to their size, it immediately becomes clear that feeding was not complete without additives. The meat of these birds contains antibiotics and hormones in a fairly large amount.

It is especially recommended to avoid buying individual parts of the chicken (hearts, wings, tails). It is believed that this may be a marriage saturated with harmful solutions. In any case, when buying chicken meat, be sure to check its manufacturer.

Pangasius

Cheap and almost tasteless pangasius fish is most often grown artificially. The main danger is that all waste is thrown into the river in which this fish is bred (Mekong in Vietnam), there is also sewage. What can we say about the pollution of this place as a whole? Also, various chemical additives are used to accelerate the growth of fish.

There is also pangasius grown in natural ecological conditions, and its benefits are obvious. However, the price and taste of the fish sold in our supermarkets make us believe that it is grown in Vietnam.

The main rule that you should use when choosing food is to carefully study their composition on the packaging. Do not buy products containing the following substances:

trans fats
genetically modified compositions (GMOs)
synthetic sweeteners
prohibited and dangerous food additives (the most dangerous for health: E123, E173, E212, E240, E510, E513, E527, E924, E924a)

Here are 15 unhealthy foods that you should know and remember about in order to protect your health and the health of your loved ones. Give up unhealthy food, and!

Harmful products! What to replace? (video)

Over the past thirty years, the number of obese people has doubled. According to WHO statistics, 1.9 billion adults and 41 million children under the age of 5 have extra pounds. Scientists predict that by 2025 the number of overweight people on the planet will be 40-50%.

Excess weight spoils the appearance, worsens the quality of life, increases the risk of premature death. The main cause of obesity is junk food - drinks and foods containing carcinogens, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors. Dangerous for health is food that increases the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood, causing allergic reactions.

The list of the most harmful products, including for vegetarians, can include:

fried potatoes and chips;
ketchup;
canned food;
candies;
corn sticks;
margarine;
popcorn;
fast food;
sugar;
salt.

Some of these foods should be completely eliminated from the diet. Candy, ketchup, and popcorn can be eaten as long as they are home-cooked without harmful additives. Salt intake is desirable to simply reduce.

Harmful without any reservations

Potato tubers contain organic acids and nutrients, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins A, C, group B. Nevertheless, nutritionists recommend reducing (not giving up at all!) The consumption of this vegetable, as it is rich in starch. Especially harmful are fried potatoes - french fries and chips.

Starch and fats clog blood vessels, provoking the development of atherosclerosis.

Store-bought chips contain monosodium glutamate and chemical flavors. In fast food establishments, vegetable oil for deep-frying is used repeatedly, which contributes to the accumulation of carcinogens. Scientists have found that frying carbohydrate foods at high temperatures leads to the formation of acrylamide, a toxic substance that causes cancer.

The list of harmful products naturally includes canned food - long-term storage products that have spent most of the vitamins during heat treatment. Sterilization for 70–95 minutes kills pathogenic microflora, but, as practice shows, not always completely. Botulinum bacilli are present in swollen canned food - microbes that can develop without access to oxygen. Once in the body, the contaminated product causes a severe infectious disease that affects the nervous system.

Corn sticks, beloved by many children, can also be classified as harmful. Airy, crispy snacks are made from refined flour, which means it is poor in vitamins. But the miraculously preserved remains of useful substances are destroyed during the heat treatment. The result is a food product that is poor in micro- and macroelements, seasoned with sweeteners and flavors. At the same time, in terms of carbohydrate content, corn sticks overtake popcorn. They cause increased gas formation, interfere with the work of enzymes, and slow down the movement of food through the intestines.

Invented 1.5 centuries ago, a butter substitute, margarine, consists of vegetable fats (80%) and water. The rest of its ingredients are corn syrup, stabilizers, emulsifiers, flavor modifiers and colorants. In order for the emulsion of water and vegetable oil to become a solid product, the fatty acid structure undergoes hydrogenation.

As a result, trans fats appear in the product - toxic substances that our body cannot process.

Australian scientists have proven that the use of margarine negatively affects the intelligence of children. Harmful nutrition leads to cardiovascular diseases, oncology, and diabetes. It is noteworthy that in Russia only 7% of the population buys margarine. The main consumers of ersatz butter are ice cream producers, bakery products and confectioners.

The most harmful food products are instant products obtained by sublimation and dehydration. These include: snacks, breakfast cereals, soups and noodles in briquettes, bouillon cubes, powdered mashed potatoes, packaged cereals. All instant products retain their taste for a long shelf life. However, they do not contain any vitamins or fiber. But there is monosodium glutamate, which causes food addiction in humans.

Harmful, but there are useful analogues

Health hazards are factory-made sweets: chewing sweets, lollipops, bars. These are the most harmful products for the figure, as they contain shock doses. The sweets contain trans fats and chemical additives. Lollipops and "toffees" spoil the enamel of the teeth. Chocolate bars lead to psychological dependence on sweets and obesity. Dyes used for glazing dragees cause neurosis in children, anxiety, and increased excitability.

Undoubtedly, junk food is store-bought ketchup. Even high-quality tomato concentrate is contraindicated for people with digestive tract problems, as it causes heartburn and exacerbates gastritis. Additives and spices contained in ketchup are dangerous for health. They can provoke allergy attacks. French scientists have found that the use of ketchup leads to impaired spermatogenesis in men. Cheap concentrates contain bright colors, modified starch and a high dose of sugar.

Popcorn can be attributed to the category of both useful and harmful products. On the one hand, puffed corn is rich in fiber and proteins, B vitamins. It is low in calories, contains polyphenols, cleanses the intestines, removes carcinogens. On the other hand, popcorn is sold in cinemas and shops with flavoring additives that provoke gastritis. A snack sprinkled with caramel is high in calories. Salted maize disturbs the water balance in the body. The most unhealthy food is popcorn in oil. In the process of its preparation, unscrupulous manufacturers add diacetyl in order to give corn a sweet flavor.

The dangers of salt and sugar have been talked about for a long time. Excessive consumption of simple carbohydrates disrupts metabolism, reduces immunity by seventeen times, and causes premature aging of the skin.

The absorption of refined sugar requires a huge amount of calcium, which contributes to the development of osteoporosis. "Sweet poison" creates a feeling of false hunger and is addictive.

Salt tends to accumulate in the body, which causes fluid stagnation in tissues, problems with joints and bones, kidneys, heart, and blood flow through the vessels. In some cases, salt-free nutrition allows you to get rid of edema.

What products can replace junk food? Here is a list of useful analogues:

homemade and nuts;
fresh tomato sauces with paprika, basil, garlic and onions;
honey, dried and fresh fruits instead of sugar;
pure homemade popcorn without oil and flavorings;
garlic, onion, parsley, dill, seaweed instead of salt;
sodium rich foods such as spinach, celery, carrots, beets, cucumbers, oat grains.

However, here it is important to observe the measure. So, the daily intake of honey for an adult is up to 50 ml. Bee products should not be given to children under 2 years of age. In addition, it is harmful to heat honey to a temperature above 40 degrees, put it in boiling water.

20 g of nuts per day is a healthy snack that replenishes the energy reserves of the body. At the same time, it is impossible to abuse hazelnuts, cashews or pistachios, as they contain a lot of fatty acids. The maximum daily dose of nuts for women is 50-70 g, for men - 100-150 g.

Dried fruits are also high in calories. Without prejudice to a slender figure, you can eat up to 75 g of raisins, 100 g of prunes or 300 g of dried apricots daily. The norm of dates is 18 pieces, figs - 20, apricots - 30 per day.

Drinks to Avoid

The most useful liquid for a person, without a doubt, is pure water. It is necessary to drink it in large quantities between meals. If there is a shortage of any salts, you can use natural mineral water without gas.

Green and black teas contain caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. These substances actively affect the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

The list of the most harmful foodstuffs complements the list of drinks in the best possible way. Among them:

alcohol. This is the cause of disease and destruction of the personality. In fact, it is a drug, therefore it causes a rapid addiction, which can later be difficult to get rid of;
sparkling water. Contains carbonic acid, which destroys tooth enamel and irritates the intestinal mucosa. Soda with sugar (lemonade, Coca-Cola, Pepsi) contributes to obesity;
coffee. Causes addiction, washes out and makes it difficult to absorb trace elements. It has a negative effect on the nervous and cardiac systems. Abuse of drinks with caffeine (more than 5 cups a day) leads to dehydration;
juices. Stimulate the secretion of gastric secretion, cause heartburn. Can cause allergies and diabetes;
energy. Combine all the disadvantages of the drinks listed above. They contain carbon dioxide, alcohol, caffeine, alkaloids, taurine, extracts of mate, ginseng, guarana. Energetics act excitingly, thus knocking down the body's natural biorhythms.

Unhealthy food causes irreparable damage to health, so the most logical solution would be to refuse drinks containing sugar, psychostimulants, alcohol and carbon dioxide. Instead of juices, it is better to consume fresh fruits and vegetables. They have more mineral salts, vitamins, fiber and less sugars.

Correct and is the key to a happy life, beautiful appearance and energy.

All “unhealthy” foods and dishes that we are used to eating every day can be divided into two groups: harmful, that is, causing certain harm to health if used regularly, and dangerous, that is, capable of causing food poisoning.

harmful products

It is they who “give” us extra pounds and take away precious years of life, bring with them obesity, lethargy and poor health.

Chips and fried potatoes got to the first place due to the huge amount of boiling oil in which they are fried. Today, even a child knows that potato slices fried in oil with a crispy crust are saturated with carcinogens that are very harmful to our health.

coca cola, pepsi, lemonade and other sweet carbonated drinks are carriers of the most harmful substances. Regularly consumed soda will absolutely bring obesity and metabolic disorders, and in severe cases - diabetes. The same “joys” are brought by the uncontrolled use of store-bought juices, which contain anything but natural fruit juices. In addition, sugary drinks will create problems with your stomach and tooth enamel.

Sausages and other varieties of boiled sausages do not consist of meat at all, as many people think, but mainly of soy, a large amount of fat, as well as all kinds of synthetic dyes, thickeners, flavors, flavor enhancers, and so on, so on, so on ...

Fast food, that is, everything that we put into this concept: hot dogs, pizza, shawarma, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, etc. These dishes are quite tasty, satisfying and inexpensive, even the most needy person can afford them. At the same time, fast food contains a huge amount of transgenic fats, chemical substitutes and carcinogens, meat stuffing is often made from stale and low-quality meat.

Mayonnaise- an indispensable ingredient in most salads. Today, this product is produced (like many others) not in accordance with GOST, but according to TU (technical specifications), which each manufacturer determines for his products himself. Thus, mayonnaise, in addition to the obligatory transgenic (very harmful) fats, may contain any components. If you love mayonnaise so much, try making it yourself at home. It’s not difficult, but tasty and not as harmful as store-bought mayonnaise.

Margarine almost entirely composed of trans fats, and also contains synthetic dyes and other components, the presence of which you better not even know. You can eat margarine, perhaps, only if you are indifferent to your own health.

Smoked meats“To the eyeballs” are filled with the most harmful carcinogens, this is due to the way they are prepared. If your health and well-being are dear to you, give up smoked sausage, lard, fish and other “goodies”.

White bread, surprisingly, also took its place in the list of harmful products. Butter bread baked from premium wheat can cause obesity, diabetes and numerous problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Confectionery are also quite harmful, especially if consumed in excessive amounts. Train yourself to substitute apples, oranges, and dried fruits for sweets, sweets, and cakes. The mass of transgenic and saturated fats found in cakes and cookies does not at all contribute to either health or harmony.

Semi-finished products, which today are presented in many in our supermarkets, are convenient and quick to prepare, but at the same time they are filled with various preservatives, enhancers, substitutes and other "improvers" that are unhealthy. Therefore, try to include ready-made cutlets, dumplings, pancakes in your menu as little as possible.

Dangerous Products

Dangerous Products

This list was identified by American scientists. According to their research, it is these products that most often led to poisoning over the past two decades.

Sausage and sausages- they contain hidden fats, soy, starch, hide, lard and additives with the prefix "E". Excessive consumption of sausages increases cholesterol and leads to food poisoning.

Potato- a product in which pathogenic microbes and bacteria accumulate, for example, E. coli, salmonella, dysentery pathogens, etc.

black olives- these are most often green olives, which are useful in themselves, but to acquire black color they are tinted with ferrous gluconate. And this is very harmful to the human body, because it leads to an excess of iron.

Ice cream. In order for this delicacy to be called safe, it is necessary to carefully observe the strict conditions of storage and transportation, which are not adhered to by all manufacturers and traders. In poorly washed ice cream containers, staphylococcus, salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria freely multiply.

Cheese, the product itself is extremely useful, can be a considerable danger, especially for pregnant women. Camembert, brie, and feta are often homemade, unpasteurized, and therefore may contain a bacterium that leads to the development of a disease called listeriosis. This disease often causes miscarriages.

Eggs are known to be breeding grounds for salmonella. The most dangerous dishes are those prepared from thermally raw eggs: soft-boiled eggs, eggnog.

Tomatoes may contain bacteria that are harmful to human health. Damaged fruits are most dangerous, since it is through cracks and dents that bacteria get inside. It is best to stew or fry tomatoes - this is how, by the way, useful substances are formed in them.

Crab sticks do not consist of crab meat at all, but of a small part of minced fish, plus starch, water, stabilizers, thickeners, preservatives, and so on. All this easily deteriorates and fails, it is very easy to get poisoned with crab sticks.

Greens- very healthy, but only grown in clean, bacteria-free soil. Viruses and bacteria, as well as other harmful substances, easily penetrate from the soil into the greens, so “untested” greens often cause food poisoning.

Summer is coming, and in the heat, the number of poisonings increases sharply. Take care of your health, treat the choice of products with all care!

Hello dear readers of our blog. Probably everyone has heard the saying “we are what we eat”. And this is truly true. Nutrition is the key to our health and well-being. That is why, today I have prepared a very interesting list for you, which will be of particular interest to those who at least once thought about what they eat in general.

This is a list of unhealthy foods that we can buy on almost every street corner. And Serezha not so long ago actively consumed all kinds of fast food, soda and other muck. Now, of course, he removes this from his diet, because the harm that the body receives when eating such food is very huge, there can be no talk of any healthy lifestyle if there are chips or soda in the kitchen.

And how difficult it was for the first time of the week, when instead of the usual sandwich with sausage and (yes, yes!) Mayonnaise or some cookies, I offered a salad of vegetables or oatmeal, which are very healthy!

Now, in many delicious products that have been familiar to us since childhood, there is the so-called "chemistry", which is specially added by manufacturers to improve the taste of the product, and then make you want to eat more! Moreover, a person who constantly eats instant soups with a lot of seasoning for lunch already forgets the taste of a real soup or mashed potatoes. It seems to him that the dish is not so salty, not so tasty, he wants to add something.

The most harmful, according to a large number of scientists, are 3 types of food components:

Trans fats. Which, by the way, are banned in several European countries, because they lead to high mortality, but business and the desire for profit do their dirty work. Food containing trans fats increases the percentage of cholesterol in the human body, which can lead to serious heart disease and obesity.

Sweeteners. Those who want to lose weight actively use them and believe that the use of sugar substitutes is good for them. It's not like that at all! Aspartame is a very dangerous element, it literally destroys the whole person, from the brain to the liver. Why harm yourself if you can replace traditional sugar with something less high-calorie, but healthy. By the way, on the pages of our blog you can find recommendations on how you can replace sugar with a more useful analogue.
Famous GMOs. Almost all such food brings severe harm, I'm not talking about children and pregnant women. Even for an adult who has never complained about his physical condition, after a while the constant use of genetically modified foods becomes bad. Almost all fast food is literally full of GMOs.
