What are the "fake health"? Many foods are labeled as healthy food, but there is no claimed healthy nutrition, which misleads many people. So, what is "false health"? Let me introduce you.
Women who love health care know that coarse grains can play a role in health care for the five internal organs, and are also particularly good food for women. Therefore, they often choose some coarse grain drinks and coarse grain biscuits as breakfast. However, these coarse grains, which are called healthy, are not necessarily healthy. The sugar content of coarse grain drinks is too high, and the fat content of coarse grain biscuits is not low. Do you know all the following 12 kinds of pseudo-healthy food?
1, cereal drink
Cereal drinks sound healthy and have become many people's favorite breakfast drinks. But is cereal drink really as healthy as its name sounds?
Actually, it is not. For example, a 300ml cereal beverage contains less than 2 grams of dietary fiber, but as much as 30 grams of sugar, and sucrose is the main component of the beverage, which is the "free sugar" added by the manufacturer. It is reported that free sugar only provides calories without nutrition, and excessive intake will lead to unhealthy obesity.
Suggestion:
Better drink less cereal. If you want to be healthy, you should eat nutritious cereal. A good morning can start with a bowl of porridge.
2, breakfast oatmeal
Cereals such as wheat, barley, rice and oats have always been the most important food for human beings. They contain protein, dietary fiber and vitamins unmatched by other foods. However, some "colorful" breakfast cereals mixed with a small amount of cereals and a large amount of starch, sugar, corn syrup, salt, food pigments and preservatives greatly reduce the nutritional components of these cereals.
Suggestion:
Go to the supermarket to buy bulk oats, which is the food really rich in vitamins and dietary fiber. The pursuit of delicate taste, just eat white rice directly. Why use this "pseudo-coarse grain" to deceive your heart and stomach?
Step 3 process yogurt
Yogurt is fermented from fresh milk and is rich in protein, calcium and vitamins. Especially for those who can't enjoy milk because of lactose intolerance, yogurt can be a good choice.
But now many yoghurts are made into "desserts" full of sugar and various processed fruits, and it is these "packages" that are used by merchants to disguise themselves as healthy foods. Therefore, it is best to choose ordinary yogurt when buying, and add some fruit when necessary.
Suggestion:
The so-called fruity yogurt is nothing more than adding saccharin and spices to the yogurt. If it is better, some stale fruits will be added. Instead of being cheated like this, it is better to prepare a yogurt machine at home and buy some fresh fruits, so that you can enjoy life.
4. Pizza
Pizza is very nutritious. In Italy, pizza is even protected by law, which stipulates that it must be processed with whole wheat flour, tomato sauce, white cheese, olive oil and basil spices.
But now many fast food chain stores sell pizzas containing preservatives, cheap artificial fat, canned fruits without nutrition, long-term frozen meat and a lot of salt ... These ingredients make pizza very high in calories and sodium, but its nutritional value is not worth mentioning.
Suggestion:
Fast food is born to satisfy people's hungry stomachs, and the pursuit of nutrition from fast food is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree. Remember, the most nutritious food always comes from your own kitchen. Just like fast food pizza, it is enough to satisfy your desire once in a while.
5, low-fat peanut butter
The oil in nuts is actually one of the healthiest oils in the food industry, such as peanut oil, which contains a lot of linoleic acid, which can decompose cholesterol in human body into bile acids and prevent coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Peanut oil also contains resveratrol, a natural polyphenol with strong biological activity, which is an effective anti-aging substance and a natural chemopreventive for tumor diseases. It can also reduce platelet aggregation and prevent and treat atherosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, peanut butter is unnecessary to reduce fat, but it removes some of its own benefits. In addition, according to experts, "low-fat peanut butter and full-fat peanut butter contain about the same calories, but the sugar is higher than the latter."
Suggestion:
Buy plain peanut butter or eat nuts directly. Eating half to one or two nuts a day helps reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. A recent study by Harvard University even found that, on average, people who eat nuts every day are lighter and healthier than those who don't.
6, high fiber coarse grain biscuits
Coarse grains contain insoluble dietary fiber, which is rough and has a bad taste. In order to achieve a good taste, it is necessary to add grease for lubrication. Fiber will soften when it absorbs oil. Therefore, foods with high dietary fiber content in coarse grain biscuits have high fat content.
Moreover, because saturated fat softens fiber better, many manufacturers will use hydrogenated oil, butter and pork containing a lot of saturated fatty acids to process coarse grain biscuits. This will taste better. Therefore, the crisper the biscuit, the higher the saturated fatty acid content.
Experts point out that coarse grains and beans are rich in vitamins and minerals, but if you add a lot of unhealthy oils, the harm will outweigh the benefits.
Suggestion:
If you want to eat coarse grains, you'd better choose oats, beans and whole grains to go home and cook porridge.
7.sugar-free food
Some products that claim to be sugar-free in the market mostly use substitutes, which are sometimes more harmful to health than real sugar.
Some sugar-free foods are labeled as sucrose-free, but the ingredient list is equipped with dextrin, maltose and corn syrup. These substances belong to hydrolyzed starch, which is not helpful for weight loss and blood sugar control.
In addition, some sugar-free foods often use a lot of oil and salt for taste. Pay attention to the total calories of the product when buying, and don't think that you can eat more without sugar.
In addition, sugar-free foods (such as sugar-free cakes) are made of grains, which can decompose glucose in the human body, so sugar-free foods are not sugar-free.
Suggestion:
Choosing sugar-free products depends not only on whether it is marked with the words "sugar-free food", but also on its ingredient list to see which sweetener is used to replace the relevant sugar.
Among the additives, oligosaccharides and sugar alcohols are healthier, so they can be the first choice, while aspartame and acesulfame K are banned in some countries.
8. Non-fried puffed snacks
All kinds of non-fried puffed snacks are composed of sweeteners, sodium glutamate, salt and so on. Long-term excessive intake of salt alone will lead to cardiovascular diseases.
Secondly, some puffed foods will be added with puffing agents containing potassium aluminum sulfate or ammonium aluminum sulfate. Long-term consumption may cause excessive aluminum in the body, which may further cause nervous system diseases and osteomalacia of the consumers.
Suggestion:
In daily life, eating a little crispy snacks, even if it says non-fried, is not necessarily healthy. It is unwise to comfort yourself because of a concept hype and let yourself eat and drink.
9. Green tea drinks
Green tea contains antioxidants and other healthy ingredients, which can prevent cancer, heart disease, aging and other diseases related to aging. But now many manufacturers add sugar and other additives to make green tea drinks and sell them everywhere under the guise of healthy drinks. In fact, any ingredients on the "green tea" bottle, such as saccharin and preservatives, make it farther away from us in terms of health.
Suggestion:
Do you want to drink green tea or buy yourself some tea? Good medicine tastes bitter. How can really nutritious tea be sweet? We sometimes have to choose between taste and health.
10, complete thick soup.
Soup is very healthy, and it is cheap and easy to make. However, the finished thick soup is a mixture of salt, fat, artificial additives, preservatives, and perhaps some dehydrated carrots with very low nutritional value. A can of thick soup contains sodium 1000 mg, which is about half of your daily requirement.
Suggestion:
If you want to drink a nutritious and happy drink, you should prepare chicken, beef bones and vegetables yourself and make a bowl of hot and delicious soup yourself.
1 1, bread
The most common bread in America is mass-produced white round bread. Good bread is actually just made of flour, water, a little salt and yeast.
However, now packaged white bread contains sugar, corn syrup and many other ingredients. Once swallowed, the food processed by these procedures will be quickly converted into blood sugar. Even now, many mass-produced whole wheat breads are harmful to health, because they improve the taste through some "harmful substances" (such as sugar, salt and softener).
Suggestion:
It is best to choose raisin oatmeal bread or barley bread coated with pure jam.
12, commercial organic food
Organic food is naturally cultivated and does not involve any pesticides and fertilizers. It is almost regarded as the "savior" in the era of large-scale food pollution. We have been pursuing this goal for more than 30 years. However, driven by interests, its nutritional value system began to appear crisis.
The organic milk we drink now comes from captive cattle that are forced to feed organic grains. There are also all kinds of "junk food" marked "containing organic ingredients", which are disguised as healthy food through organic labels, and only manufacturers know how many organic ingredients are in it.
Suggestion:
Don't be confused by the word "health" on the wrapping paper. When buying food, you still have to look at the food ingredients list.
