If you want to be in good health, have a perfect figure and lead a healthy lifestyle, the first thing to change is your eating habits. For starters, give up these 6 foods that are extremely harmful to your body.

Banana chips

It is generally accepted that they are as useful as other dried fruits. However, few people think about how this crunchy treat is prepared. The principle of making banana chips was borrowed from the original potato chips: fresh bananas are cut into thin slices and deep-fried (that is, in a huge amount of oil), completing the process by dipping in sugar syrup (for crunching). On a scale from most to least harmful, the benefits of banana chips fall somewhere between cheeseburger and chocolate bars.

Low fat products

The popularity of low-fat foods among those who want to lose weight is comparable only to the love of fast food among those for whom the diet is comparable to medieval torture. At the same time, low-fat yoghurts and cheeses are not as dietary as they seem. The fact is that by removing fats from products by technological or chemical methods, manufacturers replace them with flavor enhancers and other additives that are designed to compensate for the taste that has gone along with the calorie content. In addition, to increase the shelf life of such products, manufacturers add trans fats, artificially stabilized fats, which, according to numerous studies, increase cholesterol levels. It turns out that, although the final product becomes less high-calorie, thanks to various chemical additives, it only has a negative effect on our body.

Muesli

Their problem is the huge amount of sugar and vegetable oils, which are generously added by manufacturers to enhance the taste. There are about 400 calories per 100 grams of this product, which definitely makes muesli an outsider in the race for the title of "Healthiest and Dietary Product". If you cannot refuse them for breakfast, cook them yourself, for this you just need to mix your favorite nuts, cereals and dried fruits.

Processed meat

These are all meat products that were prepared without your participation: canned food, sausages, shop cutlets - in general, any semi-finished products. Nutritionists advise to completely exclude such foods from the diet, because in addition to the incredible amount of salt, preservatives, flavors and other "chemicals", they contain harmful fats that increase blood cholesterol levels, and can also cause obesity and heart disease.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is the record holder for harmfulness among all purchased sauces. It actually only needs four ingredients to make it: oil, eggs, vinegar, and spices, but now look at the label of the purchased mayonnaise. It seems to be more like a chemistry textbook than a sauce recipe to dress a salad with. In addition, if the problem of homemade mayonnaise is solely in its calorie content, then for the store mayonnaise this criterion is one of the smaller problems. Think about what benefits can we talk about if the product is stored for years, and only surrogates are listed in the ingredients?

Margarine

In fact, margarine is an artificial fat that is produced on the basis of water, emulsifiers and, most importantly, vegetable fats, which are obtained mainly from genetically modified soybeans. The harm of margarine is also largely due to the fact that it contains trans fats, which, as we have already said, increase cholesterol levels and stimulate the development of heart disease. We hope you never buy it again.
