Often even the products in the supermarket, where it is written “no sugar,” “low fat,” “fitness,” or “light” – you should not immediately dispose of their purchase. Even products that are positioned as useful often are not.
Here are the TOP 5 most deceptively “good” products
Breakfast cereals
Cornflakes with milk, if you believe the advertising — super Breakfast for any child. If every day to eat Breakfast as advised by the advertisement, you can easily make obese.
The thing is that they are roasted with the addition of molasses, palm oil, sugar, or chocolate flakes on caloric content do not concede to the large piece of cake. They are quickly absorbed by the body, dramatically increasing the level of insulin, which leads to the rapid emergence of feelings of hunger.
So after the first lesson, your child will want to eat.
It would be useful to prepare Breakfast banana, French toast, scrambled eggs, “Cloud,” or “Dismantled” cheesecake.
Margarine
Less fatty oil – we think we can replace it with a “lighter” option in the form of margarine or spread. Moreover, the manufacturers soothe them, saying that substitute butter is rich in omega-3, does not contain animal fats and cholesterol.
But in fact, a beneficial fatty acid found in vegetable spreads, hydrated (i.e., treated with hydrogen at high pressure), and vitamin properties it does not have.
Moreover, in hydrogenation, they turn into TRANS fats, they interfere with cellular metabolism, leading to obesity and negatively affect the cardiovascular system.
Will be useful: do not be afraid of butter. It contains vitamin D necessary for a good mood and strong bones. Most importantly — use it within reasonable limits.
“Useful” or multi cereal whole-grain bars
Whole grains are slow carbohydrates, which for a long time supply us with energy. And would be fine, but the bars often include palm oil, sugar syrup, artificial flavorings, and flour. You should pay attention to the number of calories.
It may be more useful to buy bars only from natural ingredients. To do this, be sure to read the package of this candy bar, but better, replace it with a handful of nuts. A good option – useful bars homemade.
Light mayonnaise
What names did not come up with the manufacturers to sell mayonnaise for those who care about figure, fat-free, diet, light, light! But reality?
Yes, this sauce contains less fat, but turn over the package and carefully read the composition: solid sugar, dyes, flavor enhancers, and preservatives.
It may be more useful to top the salad with yogurt or vegetable oil. Option for non-lazy – to make home-made mayonnaise from eggs, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices. And it’s definitely the better purchase.
Aspartame
Sugar is bad; it is a well-known fact. So people looking to replace it and often switch to aspartame. It is sold in tablet form and is part of many carbonated beverages, candy, and chewing gum without sugar.
But scientists have found that when ingested, aspartame breaks down, releasing methanol and phenylalanine, which in turn disrupt the chemical processes in the brain cells that can lead to migraines, depression, memory problems, etc.
Instead of chemical sweeteners, it may be more useful, using natural sugar alternatives like honey, agave syrup, or Jerusalem artichoke. Of course, they can not boast zero calories, but the benefits for the body they like more.
