Foods to Avoid Buying:
Fake Health Foods-Foods that call themselves "low fat", such as salad dressing, yogurt, or crackers. The fact is that to make up for the lack of flavor there is more salt and sugar.
Foods with Ingredients You Can't Pronounce- If you cannot pronounce the first 5 ingredients, don't even put it in the cart. A good rule of thumb is to buy whole foods, that only contain 1 ingredient.
Meats containing high levels of Saturated Fats and Nitrates-Processed meats such as sausage, hot dogs, lunch meat and bacon contain nitrates, chemical additives that preserve freshness. Nitrates are linked to degenerative diseases such as stomach cancer. These fatty meat products contain healthy saturated fats that can raise bad cholesterol levels, which can raise risk for stroke, and heart disease.
Unhealthy Fats, and Simple Sugars or Carbs-Foods such as donuts, sugary cereals, cookies, ice cream, soda, and cakes. Simple sugars are "empty calories" and are rapidly absorbed, causes blood sugar levels to spike. Those rapidly absorbed extra calories are stored as fat, and cause obesity. Instead select fiber-rich complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, steel-cut oats, and 100% whole grain bread.
High Sodium Canned Food-Sodium from processed and canned foods, make up eighty percent of sodium intake. Most canned foods contain so much sugar that it makes up half or more of your daily recommended intake. A diet high in sodium posses a risk to higher blood pressure.
