Examples of Unhealthy Foods

We should avoid this unhealthy foods!

Hye guys. Have you read above statement? Yes. This is a bold statement. Avoid eating the foods that I will explain later, or else, you are like welcoming those disease to enter your life.

1. Fast food

LOWER QUALITY FOOD

There’s no doubt about it, fast food is made in a bulk production process, which tends to lower the overall quality of food. Granted, chicken is chicken, so we’re not talking about eating rat meat here.

A lot of the fast food restaurants such as Chipotle have started using organic vegetables, hormone-free beef, and cage-free chickens. This is greats news for both consumers and animals.

MORE FATTENING

Historically speaking, fast food has been very fattening. The production process involved in creating fast food added a lot of greasy and fat content to foods. However, as mentioned in the healthy choices section above, this is quickly changing.

While most restaurants have your normal greasy burgers and fries, they have also started to offer grilled chicken, fish, salads, and healthy wraps. So whether you’re looking to eat a nice greasy meal or a healthy grilled sandwich, fast food restaurants have what you want.

2. Frozen Foods

Frozen foods -- particularly prepared meals -- are often high in sodium. Excess sodium can lead to high blood pressure, which is linked to heart disease and stroke. You should limit your sodium consumption to no more than 2,300 milligrams per day, recommends the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (Nina, K. 2015)

Besides, vitamin C and the B vitamins suffer the biggest nutritional losses in frozen fruits and vegetables, according to a 2007 study in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Levels of polyphenoic substances, which act as antioxidants to protect your cells from damage, also are lower in frozen food than fresh food.

3. Colas and Sodas

 One of the most popular brand of Sodas which is 7UP is trying to claim that their can drinks is made up from natural ingredients because their High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is all natural. They no longer phrase it this way, and other colas blatantly have it listed as themost abundant sweetener. In ordinary Coca-Cola it’s the only sweetener used.

Amount of sugar in sweet drinks. 

4. Fried Foods

Fried foods such as fried chicken is high in Monosodium-Glutamate (MSG). As we all know. MSG is not good for our health.
