As
experience teaches us, 'sin is indeed tempting'. You are aware of the ways in
which your health and quality of life would improve and similarly attentive to
factors that can harm your biological system and yet you give in to the trap of
temptation. Not just once, but repeatedly. Processed food can be extremely
injurious to your general health.
A
huge mass of people have processed food items after being familiar with its ill
effects. The reason propelling them to do so is perhaps the good taste and easy
accessibility of these kinds of food. They live up to your cravings at odd
hours and are extremely satisfying.
Kinds
of processed food you generally intake:
1.
Snacks to savor: Binge eating can make you have some of
the savory snacks. In the middle of the night, you might want to munch on
chips, flavored and coated nuts or on microwave popcorn. These packed snacks
may have dangerous effects on a person's health and hence, should be avoided.
2.
Processed meat: Bacon, salami or corned beef should be
strictly kept away from as they include the threat of artificial hormones.
3.
Veggies in a tin: Tinned or canned vegetables could be a
feasible option in your fast paced life, but it clearly is not good for your
health.
4.
Carbonated drinks: Carbonated drinks are enjoyable but they
do interfere with a person's physical fitness.
5.
Instant noodles, soups or other meals: Ready mixes and packed
noodles seem to be a simple way of making tiffin or an evening snack, but the
health hazards they cause should alarm you. Processed food items such as these
can lead to cancer as well.
Natural food substitutes that can be equally
gratifying:
1.
Boiled
potatoes sprinkled with cucumber, tomatoes, chili flakes and salt should always
be preferred over potato chips.
2.
Consume
fruits, especially citrus fruits regularly. Try to maintain a safe distance
from packaged fruit juices as they contain preservatives and a great deal of
sugar.
3.
Tofu
that is made from soya is high in nutrients and should be a great substitute
for chicken nuggets.
4.
One
can deal with his or her cravings for mayonnaise by switching to hummus. Though
the two food items don't taste the same, hummus doesn't contain animal fat that
is actually harmful when stored or preserved.
