Daily Health Tips: Foods to avoid


Food is very important to life and health. Some foods are particularly important as they help build our immunity against certain diseases. In the same vein, research has shown that some foods when eaten regularly, set us up for disease conditions like Diabetes Mellitus, hypertension and even cancers. Here are some of such foods and they should be eaten RARELY.

Added sugar from all sources: white sugar, brown sugar, soft drinks etc make your blood sugar rise and fall erratically. And they contain empty calories which do not help you at all.

Baked goodies like cakes, doughnuts, pies etc contain a lot of unhealthy fats, processed carbs and of course, added sugar.

Processed meats like bacon, sausages and ham are certainly not as healthy as white meat like skinless chicken. Fish is also a good alternative.

Dairy foods like full cream milk, ice cream and cheese should be replaced with skimmed milk, unsweetened low fat yoghurt and low fat cheese. You could add some cut up fruits to the yoghurt to ‘jazz it up’ or pour it over your cereal like muesli.

White carbs like white bread, polished rice, cookies etc should be replaced with whole wheat versions. If you bake, you could add oatmeal to your cookies for a healthier option. 

Salt should be used very sparingly and the only way to this is really re-training our taste buds to ‘accept’ less salt as tasty. Remember that you can use spices to ‘jazz’ up your food.
