The Top 5 Foods to Avoid for a Healthy Body: A Nutritionist's Perspective

Read Time:4 Minute, 21 Second

Avoid unhealthy food. I’m a nutritionist, and I know that you want to be healthy. I also know that it’s hard to get enough protein, calcium, and other nutrients in your diet without consuming certain foods—and that’s why I’ve created this list of my favorite (and not-so-favorite) foods to avoid.

Processed meats

Processed meats are high in sodium, fat, and calories. They’re also known to contain nitrates and nitrites. These additives are used to preserve the meat during processing; however, they can cause cancer if you eat too much of them over time.

Processed meats include bacon (or pork belly), hot dogs, sausage links and more!

Sugary drinks and candy

Sugary drinks and candy are high in calories.
Sugar is not good for your teeth. It can also make them sensitive to cold or hot foods and drinks, which may cause decay over time.
Sugar is not good for your blood sugar levels either, so if you’re looking to lose weight or keep from gaining it back after losing it, cut out sugary snacks like candy bars, energy drinks and soda altogether!

Refined grains

Refined grains are the opposite of whole grains. They’re processed, stripped of nutrients and high in carbohydrates. Refined grains also contain sugar and calories. Because they’re so high in calories, refined carbohydrates can lead to weight gain–and if you have weight gain issues already, then this is a no-win situation for you.

Refined carbs can cause blood sugar spikes that raise insulin levels which leads to belly fat storage (aka belly bloat). If you have type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes then this will definitely make things worse by increasing your risk of developing complications such as heart disease and kidney failure later on down the road since these conditions require regular monitoring by doctors who may prescribe medication if necessary

Refined sugars

Refined sugars are a carbohydrate that is not broken down during digestion. Sugar can be found in many foods, but it’s most commonly found in honey, syrups and fruit juices. While sugar is a nutrient when it comes from natural sources such as fruits or vegetables, refined sugars don’t provide any nutritional value whatsoever. Sugar is a carbohydrate that is broken down by your body into glucose, which provides energy.

Sugars are found naturally within fruits and vegetables but may also come from artificial sweeteners found in many processed foods like soda pop or dessert mixes made with white flour instead of whole wheat flour which results in a spike in blood sugar levels once digested after consuming them along with other unhealthy ingredients like trans fats found in fried goods made using vegetable oil rather than animal fat which has been linked with heart disease due mainly because it raises cholesterol levels significantly more than butter does .

Certain foods those are high in sodium

Sodium is a mineral that’s essential to life, but it has a bad reputation. As the world’s leading authority on nutrition and healthy eating habits, I understand how difficult it can be to avoid sodium–it’s in so many foods.

In fact, salt is not even a food; it’s just another form of sodium (which we also use as an electrolyte). Sodium is also found naturally in some foods like nuts or cabbage; however, other than these examples where you’re already consuming enough sodium through your daily diet alone (and if you don’t eat much cabbage), there are other foods that contain higher amounts of this electrolyte than others:

Takeaway:

The takeaway here is simple: if you want to be healthy, avoid processed foods and sugar. The fact that this can seem like a tall order is exactly why it’s so important to first understand what they are and how they affect our bodies.

Processed foods are those that have been altered from their original state by heating or refining ingredients before being packaged in an appealing way for sale at the grocery store–think fast food restaurants, boxed cereals and snacks like granola bars and cookies. Processed meats include ham (bacon), salami (sausage), bologna; hot dogs with frankfurters; sausages such as chorizo; corned beef hash browns, pastrami sandwiches…the list goes on! The result is increased inflammation in our bodies because these foods don’t contain enough fiber to slow down digestion rates when consumed quickly over time–a problem we’ll discuss more below when we get into “refined grains.”

Conclusion

It is important to remember that the most important thing is to eat as healthy and nutritious a diet as possible without depriving yourself of any of your favorite foods. While some people may want to take a more extreme approach, this can lead to serious health problems if not done properly. If you are interested in trying out new foods, then perhaps it’s best not too go overboard with them at first until you know how they will affect your body.
