1, green tea beverage
Asians generally like to drink green tea, and even turn it into an art. Green tea contains antioxidants and other healthy ingredients, which can prevent cancer, heart disease, aging and other aging-related diseases. But most Americans don't like the taste, so 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.
2, filling thick soup
Soup is very healthy, and it is cheap and easy to make. However, canned 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. So, prepare your own chicken, beef bones and vegetables, and make a bowl of hot and delicious soup.
3. Yogurt products
Yogurt is fermented from fresh milk and is rich in protein, calcium and vitamins. Yogurt can be a good choice for those who can't enjoy milk because of lactose intolerance. However, yogurt sold in major supermarkets in the United States has been made into a "dessert" full of sugar and various processed fruits, and merchants use these "packages" to disguise it as healthy food. Therefore, it is best to choose ordinary skim yogurt when buying, and add some fruit when necessary.
4. Brown potatoes
Compared with ordinary potatoes, yellow-brown potatoes produced in Iowa are cheaper and easier to grow. However, after eating this potato, the starch contained in it will be quickly converted into blood sugar, thus increasing the risk of diabetes and obesity. Because it doesn't taste very good, many people have to take measures to make it taste more delicious: cook it, then mash it, plug it with butter, or peel it and fry it, and then sprinkle a layer of salt on the surface. The food made in this way is even more unhealthy.
5. popcorn
Nowadays, people no longer regard popcorn as healthy food as before. In fact, popcorn is processed from corn, which is rich in fiber, low in calories and almost free of sugar, salt and fat. However, in order to improve the taste of microwave popcorn, many additional ingredients are added, so it is no longer a healthy nutritious food. It is a good choice to choose cheap bulk products when buying popcorn, and control the amount of salt and butter by yourself.
6. 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": sugar, salt and softener. It is best to choose raisin oatmeal bread or barley bread coated with pure jam.
7, breakfast oatmeal, cornflakes
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, food manufacturers use the word "grain" to plunder oil. They mixed a small amount of grains with a large amount of starch, sugar, corn syrup, salt, food coloring and preservatives to make "colorful" breakfast grains, which were deeply loved by children and greatly reduced the nutritional content of these grains.
8. Commercialized 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.
9.pizza
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. Pizza is very nutritious. Nowadays, many fast food chains sell pizza with preservatives, cheap artificial fat, canned fruit without nutrition, meat that can be frozen for a long time, and a lot of salt ... These pizzas are very high in calories and sodium, but their nutritional value is not worth mentioning.
10, fish fillet
Generally, cod is used to fry fish slices, and cod is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (DHA, etc. ) It is good for health, and all kinds of fish sticks and fillets are labeled as "nutrition". However, please note that the boxes/bags of cod fillets often list one or twenty kinds of ingredients, and the complicated processing has made it unhealthy-a lot of salt, monosodium glutamate and saturated fat are brought in when frying. Therefore, if you buy processed fish products, its harm to human health may have exceeded its benefits.
1 1, spicy food
In terms of diet, some people tend to have a light diet, while others emphasize the taste of food. Experts remind expectant mothers that they must pay attention to eating spicy food as little as possible during pregnancy. Spicy food can cause digestive system disorders of normal people, such as stomach upset, indigestion, constipation and even hemorrhoids.
After pregnancy, as the fetus grows up day by day, it will affect the normal digestive function and defecation of pregnant women. If they still keep the habit of eating spicy food at this time, it will seriously affect the nutritional supply of pregnant women to the fetus and even increase the difficulty of delivery. Therefore, in the three months before pregnancy, both expectant mothers and expectant fathers should stop eating spicy food.
12, high-sugar food
During pregnancy, expectant mothers should pay special attention to avoid eating high-sugar foods as much as possible, so as not to cause disorder of sugar metabolism and even become potential diabetic patients. After pregnancy, if pregnant women continue to eat high-sugar food, it will lead to gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes will not only endanger the health of pregnant women, but also seriously affect the healthy development and growth of the fetus in the body. Severe cases may lead to premature delivery, miscarriage or stillbirth.
13, preserved food
Pickled food contains a lot of nitrite, phenylpropyl pyrene and so on, which is very harmful to the body. In particular, some pregnant women with allergies should avoid eating such foods, so as not to cause irreversible effects on the fetus. Moreover, after research, it is found that eating these pickled foods during pregnancy can also lead to miscarriage, premature delivery and even fetal malformation.
14, caffeinated food
During pregnancy, women must pay attention to avoid eating foods containing caffeine. Excessive drinking of caffeinated drinks and foods such as coffee and tea will affect women's health. It is found that caffeine, as a substance that can affect women's physiological changes, can change the proportion of estrogen and progesterone in women to a certain extent, and indirectly inhibit the attachment and development of fertilized eggs in the uterus.
15, canned food
A large number of additives, such as synthetic pigments, flavors and preservatives, are usually added to canned food in the production process. Although these additives have no effect on human body, they are very harmful to health if pregnant women eat them regularly. And the nutritional value of canned food is not high. After high temperature treatment, vitamins and other nutrients in food are destroyed to a certain extent, and regular consumption will affect the absorption of nutrients by the fetus. So canned food is also a taboo for women during pregnancy.
