While most of us are aware of these common differences between healthy vs unhealthy food groups – such as broccoli and pizza – other consumables aren’t as clear.
Unfortunately, many snacks that are marketed as ‘healthy’ actually contain hidden sugars and bad fats that make them anything but
Vuly Play explores the seemingly healthy foods you may want to reconsider during your next grocery shop! (or check out our information on the Sugar-Free Diet).
Dried Fruits
Processed dried fruit found on supermarket shelves is loaded with sugar which, if not burnt off throughout the day, is converted to fat.
A healthy diet should only include 1-2 servings of fruit per day, so munching on a bag of sugary dried fruit isn’t the best idea, especially if you are trying to lose weight.
Because much of the sugar content from dried fruit is fructose, it can increase of risk of heart disease and diabetes. Even worse is dried fruit with added sugar, often referred to as ‘candied’ fruit.
Some of these products coat the fruit with extra sugar or syrup before heading to the drying process. Avoid them at all costs.
The Truth About Carbs - Where Do They Sit?
And finally, we come to carbohydrates, better known as their abbreviation, carbs. So where do they sit in our review of healthy and unhealthy foods?
Carbs would have to be one of the most demonised food groups on the planet, with many people believing them to be the main link between eating habits and those un-shiftable kilos.
But how much truth is actually behind the claim that ‘carbs make you fat’?
And is a low-carb diet really the best option for your health?
Unhealthy Ingredient: High heat, inflammatory oil
Fried chicken, fried calamari, pork rinds, chicken-fried steak. You won't ever see these items marked as an "Eat This." Besides the high fat and calorie content, the main issue with these fried foods is that they contain high levels of inflammatory Advanced Glycation End products, or AGEs. These compounds form when animal-derived products are cooked at high temperatures for a prolonged period of time. According to a 2015 review published in the journal Advances in Nutrition, experts concluded that "sustained exposure to [AGEs] gradually erodes native defenses, setting the stage for abnormally high [oxidative stress] and inflammation, the precursors of disease."
Eat This! Instead: Luckily, researchers from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that when people cut out high-AGE foods like processed and fried foods, markers of inflammation in their body diminished. So, go grilled whenever you can or bake your foods in the oven.
Unhealthy Ingredients: High heat
Grilling is awesome, but you have to watch your char! When you char meat, something called heterocyclic amines, or HCAs, develop when the creatine, sugars, and amino acids in meat react to your grill's high temperatures. Several studies published have linked HCAs with an increased risk of colorectal, pancreatic, breast, and prostate cancers.
Eat This! Instead: To chop your risk, spice it up! Adding antioxidant-rich spice extracts, like rosemary, to beef patties before grilling can slash the production of HCAs up to 90 percent, according to a study published in the Journal of Food Science. Another way to reduce your risk? Turn down the heat, since burnt meat contains higher concentrations of HCAs.
Dark and rich, moist and fluffy, this chocolate brownie is amazing. Oh, and did I mention it's healthy? These brownies have half the sweetener, only a smidge of butter and pumpkin for moisture.
