You want to eat healthy, but where do you start? When looking at a food label you want to avoid the following ingredients: 1-Artificial Sweeteners – have been linked to increasing your risk for type 2 diabetes and increasing your calorie intake throughout the day. 2-Carrageenan – a thickener found in dairy and milk products, whose safety is still unknown. 3-Caramel Color – has been found as a carcinogen in animal testing. 4-Trans Fats – artificial saturated fats that may increase your risk for heart disease. 5-Sugar – known to increase your risk for several diseases, including obesity and heart disease. 6-Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) – known to be very high in sodium and may cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, chest pain and many other healthy concerns. 7- High-Fructose Corn Syrup – this sugar replacement, used in many processed foods, has been linked to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and several other diseases. The biggest thing when beginning to eat healthy and trying to remove foods from your diet is to read nutrition labels; which is something I stress to my parents. If sugar is one of the top ingredients on a food label, you probably shouldn’t eat it. I actually grabbed a Gatorade bottle and pointed out to my mom that sugar was the 2nd ingredient on the label, and this would not be a good drink to give to kids or even for themselves; I also handed her a Rebound Fx™ – Citrus Punch canister and compared the labels. It takes time, but going through the ingredients list on a food label is essential if you want to make sure you’re eating healthy, wholesome foods.
