In order not to torment themselves with debilitating diets, modern nutritionists recommend sticking to proper nutrition and getting exercise. Specialists in this field make whole maps and tables of products and their nutritional properties. In most cases, we are accustomed to hearing about the ban on eating white bread, fried, sweet and drinking carbonated drinks. However, there are products that are also “worthy” to get on this list.
Adme.ru compiled a selection of products whose beneficial properties were not so useful. The most unexpected is in the bonus!
10. Sweet yogurt
Healthy dairy products can not be sweet. Despite the fact that kefir and yogurt are very necessary for the body food, it is still better to use them without sugar and fruit supplements. Sweet yogurt is more a dessert than a fermented milk product needed by the body.
Nutritionists recommend to refrain from fermented milk products with thickeners and starch, which often do not even use milk ferment. Instead, it is better to add spices, vanilla extract and fresh berries to natural yogurt.
9. Rice
No wonder they say, rice in many countries is the same bread. The least useful is white peeled rice. It includes a fairly large number of simple carbohydrates, the excessive use of which leads to the formation of fatty deposits.
Nevertheless, nutritionists call rice one of the most important cereals in the human diet, only on condition that this rice is of high quality.
8. Parsley
Healthy parsley, rich in vitamins and giving special taste to the dishes, can harm any organism. Inexperienced housewives can harm themselves and loved ones by adding it to vegetables and filling the dish with mayonnaise, sour cream or butter. In such an ensemble, parsley secretes nitrites, so literally half an hour after the start of cooking vegetable salad, parsley turns into poison.
Nutritionists advise adding parsley if desired to any dish just before serving, this is how this medicinal plant will retain all its properties.
7. Sauces
Noticed how homemade tomato paste is different from the purchased ketchup? External and taste difference will also be the case with mayonnaise, tartar, mustard and other sauces. That's because sauces from supermarkets usually contain sugar.
Nutritionists explain: add sugar for the richness of taste is much cheaper than natural tomatoes, which ultimately allows you to get more profit. It is better to replace the ready sauce with olive or linseed oil or dilute the mashed tomatoes with spices to your taste.
6. Dried fruits and fruit chips
Recently, fruit chips have become popular among supporters of proper nutrition, however, most manufacturers make this product by analogy with potato, that is, cooked in deep fat. Thus, vegetable or fruit chips contain as many calories as potato.
Often, the appearance of an attractive appearance, aroma and taste of dried fruits gives the processing of various chemical compounds before drying. In addition, it extends the shelf life of the product almost tripled. Alas, but from the use of dried fruit after this treatment, little remains.
When choosing dried fruits, pay attention to the excessive brightness of the color, unnatural brilliance, softness and aroma - the main signs of the availability of processing. The word “dried fruits” itself suggests that the fruits should be dried, which means that there is no question of any brightness and softness in its natural form.
5. Grapes
It may seem strange why grapes were among the products that only seem to be useful. It's all about his sweetness and the desire to be called to finish eating a bunch to the end. Thus, the grapes clog the stomach, while saturating the body with only sugar.
Again, nutritionists warn that you need to know what to combine this fruit in the diet. So, grapes are risky for the body in combination with fatty dishes and fish, fresh cucumbers, melons, beer and milk.
4. Improperly cooked fish
From the point of view of a healthy diet, there are practically no harmful cholesterol fats in fish, which are abundant in meat, but there are plenty of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. After analyzing the chemical composition of the most common fish dishes, scientists from the University of Hawaii came to the conclusion that the most useful substances in fish are preserved during cooking or baking. According to American cardiologists, fried and salted (as well as smoked or dried with a large amount of salt) fish is not that not useful, but very harmful, and mainly because of its accompanying products.
3. Corn
After conducting many different examinations, it was found that modified corn has a negative impact on terrestrial and aquatic organisms. During the cultivation, scientists recorded that corn pollen has a very harmful poison in its composition, which is why in some countries the use of modified corn was prohibited by law.
If you live in a region where corn is allowed, it is better to abandon its use in a canned form. In principle, you should not eat any canned products, not only corn. But to use corn preferably boiled or baked on the grill. That's when all the useful properties will be preserved.
2. Nut milk
Almond, coconut or Brazilian milk - most of this kind of dairy products on the shelves of stores contain additional calories due to the addition of sugar and flavorings. So read the packaging carefully before including the product in your diet. Better yet, buy peanut milk from organic stores.
1. Rice waffles
Rice waffles include many diets due to their low fat content. Decades ago, popular magazines actively advised them to replace bread, snack and generously grease with a low-fat curd.
Unfortunately, this seemingly healthy, crispy waffle has a very high glycemic index, so after a snack you quickly feel hungry. This is not at all conducive to gaining a figure of a dream, because as a result you eat a lot more calories than you need.
- Bonus: a lot of avocado too bad
Nowadays, avocados can be found on the shelves of any store, and many nutritionists are trumpeting its usefulness. At the same time, it is impossible not to note the high caloric content of the product: 100 kcal falls on 245 g. Therefore, the use of avocado in large quantities is undesirable, experts believe.
Remember, the whole rich complex of avocado useful properties is preserved only in its raw form, after heat treatment the product is less useful for the body. The use of avocado in large quantities can reduce the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as lead to a decrease in the level of red blood cells in the blood.
