The Two Worst Ingredients For Your Well Being
When you choose to assume control over your diet habits to lose pounds and body fat, it is crucial to avoid 2 ingredients : high-fructose corn syrup and trans-fats. These 2 health-robbing chemicals are present in a wide-variety of prepared foods, including baked goods, soft-drinks and salad dressings.
High-fructose corn syrup ( HFCS ) is a standard replacement for more expensive cane sugar in a multitude of products. The fact that high-fructose corn syrup is a diet-killer is that it plays havoc on blood-sugar levels. High blood-sugar levels are linked to plenty of the conditions that plague modern life : pre-diabetes ( diminished fasting blood-sugar levels ) type II diabetes,and coronary heart-disease. One of the first sources of HFCS in our diets is colas. Did you know that one 48-oz.”super-size” soda can contain as many as 550 calories, not to mention equivalent to over 13 tablespoons of sugar? If you drink one of these every day for a week without reducing your caloric intake or burning off an equivalent quantity of calories through exercise, you can gain a pound a week–a whopping 52 pounds a year! Replace any drinks containing HFCS with cold, refreshing water or unsweetened ice tea as a initial step to lose healthy weight. If you are a regular consumer of soda, you’ll shed weight by following this easy step alone.
Trans-fats are usually found in baked products like pies, cookies, crackers and also as oil for frying products like french-fries or potato chips. Trans-fats were invented to guarantee a long shelflife for these kinds of products, but their detrimental health effects were not known at the time of their development. Trans-fats are made by taking a mono-unsaturated ( liquid ) fat and reacting it with hydrogen gas. The resulting fat from the reaction is solid at 70 degrees. When we consume trans-fats, they build up in our arteries just as grease clogs a drain. At last, this increase of fat in our arteries may cause coronary coronary disease and stroke, and is also assumed to make a contribution to dementia in the aged.
So how can we avoid all of these fatal ingredients in our foods? Our first and best defensive zone is just by reading the labels on food products. Both high-fructose corn-syrup and trans-fats are required to be listed on labels. Also, be cautious of fast-foods like fried chicken, fish sandwiches and fried pies. Ask if these foods have been prepared with trans-fat free oils or not. If the restaurant staff can’t tell you if the food is fried in oil containing trans-fat or not, it’s best to avoid it altogether. So educate yourself as a customer and harvest the health advantages of your due research.
