Healthy and unhealthy foods

Granola and Cereals
The supermarket cereal aisle generally contains two major ingredients: processed wheat and sugar.
Many kinds of cereal contained very high proportions of sugar per serving.
Even cereals marketed as ‘organic’ or ‘healthy’ often contain high levels of salt and sugar.
Be careful and read the nutritional labels, not marketing.
For example in 2015, CHOICE compared different Australian cereals marketed to children in different criteria.
Cereals with a 4 Health Star Rating contained large amounts of sugars and sodium.
It just goes to show that these ratings are no guarantee of a healthy food option.
Processed Meats It may seem like a convenient and healthy lunch option, but packaged processed meats could be endangering you and your family.
The World Health Organisation has listed processed meat as a known carcinogen (meaning ‘cancer-causing’).
Processed meat refers to items such as hot dogs, ham, salami and sausages.
Effectively, if the meat has been treated in some way – such as salting, curing and smoking – it’s been ‘processed’.
And while meat can have health benefits, it’s all about moderation and trying to avoid extremely processed meat food groups as much as possible.

Fruit & Flavoured Yoghurts
The makers of fruity yoghurts that often claim to be '99% fat-free' have to introduce some kind of additive to counteract that lack of fat.
Often, that additive is sugar. Your average single serving of yoghurt can contain up to 20g of sugar.
If you’re having this type of yoghurt for breakfast, you may find yourself craving even more sugar throughout the day!
It’s best to opt for the healthy, plain variety of yoghurts and add flavour yourself with fresh fruit and spices.
