Some of the foods you are eating that you think are healthy may not be that good for you. We fool ourselves into thinking that some of the more sugary foods are ok for us as they seem to come in healthy packaging, fromnatural sources, or they may be marketed as breakfast foods. But beware even organic sugars are bad for you in excess, and not all breakfast cereals are as innocent as they seem.
Agave syrup is often thought to be a healthy alternative to sugar.The syrup is made from the pulp of the cactus leaf, the processing involved in its production destroys any goodness it may have contained. These syrups are dangerously high in fructose which is considered to be linked to obesity.
Low fat yoghurts are also marketed as a healthy option, but check the sugar levels! Many low fat or no fat yoghurts can be as high in sugar as an average dessert.
Full fat milk, particularly organic milk is good for you. It is now known to contain healthy fats and all of the processing involved in removing those fats is where the health benefits take their toll.
Protein bars are really popular these days , and are labelled as healthy, low sugar, low carb options, but they contain sucralose which is similar to fructose in that it is highly processed and can contribute to weight gain.
Instant noodles may be quick but they’re not healthy. They have so many ingredients in them that you’d probably need a degree to translate the list, and when you have you would find that at best they have no nutritional value and at worst can lead to heart disease or stroke.
The worst breakfast cereals are the ones aimed at weight loss and children. They are fiklled with chemicals and sugar, opt for the oat based more raw ingredients which will give you the most health benefits and leave you feeling fuller for longer.
