Everyday we are overwhelmed by commercials for cereals, that according to the producers make the perfect breakfast with a bowl of milk and that will ensure the ideal start to the new day for you, advertisements for juices, luring by the piles of fresh fruit, müsli bars, after whose eating you'll get your dream figure, the yogurts with digestibility enhancers with a large amount of fruit and already mentioned cereals ...
But not all of these would-be "healthy" products are really healthy. In the commercials and on the packaging you can find the health-promoting substances written by the big letters, but you'll find what they really contain just if you check the content a bit closer.
But not all of these would-be "healthy" products are really healthy. In the commercials and on the packaging you can find the health-promoting substances written by the big letters, but you'll find what they really contain just if you check the content a bit closer.
Breakfast cereals and granola bars contain oat flakes (about 50%) and maybe some pieces of fruit (usually about 2-3%). Besides it they also contain "normal" wheat (white wheat flour), a lot of sugar (and glucose-fructose syrup), fat (sunflower or palmoil) and Es - preservatives, emulsifiers, substances that highligh the taste and which are the reason why you can't resist your favourite bar.
Now have a look at fruit juices. For example you can find there glucose-fructose syrup, 4% (!!) juice from concentrate, flavors and sweetener E 925 and E 954 - which is banned by USA because it caused when testing on rats.
Processed food contain a lot of substances which don't help our body but they actually destroy our health. How many times have you eaten something containing aspartame, saccharin, or monosodium glutamate, substances which can cause headaches and even Alzheimer's disease or cancer ? Not to mention ingredients which are not toxic but which can't be called healthy either (refined sugar, white wheat flour, palm oil, GMO soy and corn)
Avoiding all the Es and other dangerous substances is impossible. Even if you ate only the food from your garden, there are chemical in the soil so you wouldn't be able to avoid is completely. But you can change something at least. You can try to buy natural food, which don't contain the things which shouldn't be there. Instead of fruit yogurt full of chemicals you are not even able to read, buy plain greek yogurt and add some fresh or dried druit. You can also make your own granola. Eating healthy doesn't mean eating food that is labeled "healthy". Eating healthy means eating natural and real food.
