It is a mistake to consider only those products that cause irreversible damage to internal organs as dangerous.

In fact, the danger is hidden in what a person eats every day, taking it for healthy food that does not cause him painful stomach cramps or nausea with vomiting.

These products slowly provoke a deterioration in metabolism, obesity. In the article about what food is mistakenly considered safe and why you should give it up.

Potato

Potatoes are considered one of the most popular foods worldwide. Which is not surprising, because they are very filling, go well with different types of fish, sauces, meat and vegetables. But the root vegetable, despite its popularity, is the most useless food product of plant origin.

It has a dangerously high glycemic index, causing insulin levels to "jump", is almost tasteless, contains nitrates and an incredible amount of starch. With a high energy content, it is surprisingly useless.

Rice

Another product with almost no taste, which becomes tasty only due to additional ingredients: meat, broth, vegetables, sauces. It is oversaturated with starch, sugar, which has a bad effect on the digestion process.

In addition, rice is prohibited for a whole list of diseases, such as stomach pathologies, intestinal ulcers, diabetes, chronic constipation, etc.

It is recommended to replace it with the brown variety and only taking into account the daily dosage.

Fruits

They are included in all diet menus, recommended in children's nutrition. However, the benefits of fruits for the purpose of saturating the body with useful elements are ambiguous.

These plant products should be consumed only in strict dosage, giving preference to only the freshest fruits. Eating, for example, an apple in the evening is not the best idea.

The amount of sugar received leads to fatty hepatosis. And lemons and oranges are not the richest sources of vitamin C. Bell peppers are far ahead of them.

Chicken breast

Chicken has long been made a symbol of all existing diets on the planet.

She is advised to replace red meat, boil and bake without oil. But chicken breast is useless in terms of energy value.

It does not contain fat, which means it is not beneficial for metabolic processes in a losing weight body.

It is necessary to come up with healthier alternatives to this type of food, such as beef, tongue, offal, and lean pork tenderloin.

Dry red wine

Most healthy lifestyle advocates believe in the benefits of red wine and see nothing wrong with a small glass with dinner.

This opinion is partly correct, since the antioxidant resveratrol also contributes to the fight against free radicals.

But for the mentioned antioxidant to work, you need to drink at least 2 glasses of dry red wine a day. And this is already contrary to healthy eating, because such a quantity of alcohol has a detrimental effect on brain cells.

Foods that seem healthy at first glance can slowly cause colossal damage to the body, its health and functioning.

Previously, we reported on vegetables that should not be boiled .
