Al-Marsad newspaper: Nutrition experts advised to stay away from 5 foodstuffs, noting that it is better for our bodies to completely stop eating some of the worst unhealthy fast foods.
They explained that there are healthy alternatives that can help in losing weight, and play a role in preventing the development of many health problems with age. According to Sky News.
white bread
These refined grains are low in fiber and essential nutrients. It can lead to high blood sugar levels when ingested.
Better alternatives: Healthy alternatives to white bread include whole-grain bread, sourdough, and rye bread.
Soft drinks
Soft drinks do not contain nutrients and are rich in calories, thus causing weight gain and an increase in body fat. The worst form of sugar is liquid sugar.. It leads to high levels of sugar in the blood, without the person feeling full.
Diet sodas, while not good for our body, can be a better choice than sugary sodas.
Alternatives: Drink plain water, coffee or green tea instead of soda, which are caffeinated drinks that make up for that in sodas.
Donuts
Donuts are high in sugar, added fat, and refined flour. They’re fried and dipped in sugar, making them high in calories.
Better alternatives: You can replace them with sandwiches that are full of sodium.
Try oatmeal and a piece of fruit for breakfast every day, to raise your blood sugar level and not feel the need to eat such a dessert
fried potato
Studies have found a link between regular consumption of French fries and weight gain, as they are not only high in calories, but they are also easy to consume excessively.
Frequent consumption of it has also been linked to many health risks, including an increased risk of cancer.
alternatives
It is better to eat potatoes boiled or roasted with their skins, and not fried. If you need something crunchy, try nuts or carrots.
Replace regular french fries with sweet potato sticks.
ghee
Ghee is a processed food made from vegetable oils (usually soybean oil, canola oil, palm oil, or palm kernel oil), thickeners, and artificial colors.
Vegetable oils are high in omega fats, which some studies have indicated that eating large amounts of can lead to higher levels of inflammation.
Healthy alternatives: Butter, when eaten in moderation, can be part of a healthy diet, but it’s important to realize that it’s high in calories.
Alternatively, olive oil or avocado oil can be used as an essential fat in cooking
