Chicken nuggets
Have you ever wondered what part of the chicken was used to make a chicken nugget? For most people, the breast would be the obvious choice… but they’re wrong.
Even some doctors don’t know what exactly they’re made out of, but those that do know they should steer clear. They’re made from a blend, let’s just say, passed through a processor that turns the ‘meat’ into a paste. Then, they’re breaded and fried. What’s there to like about this whole process!?
Diet soda
Doctors know better than to consume anything labeled as ‘diet soda’. The name might trick you into thinking they’re healthier versions of the regular stuff, but they can still lead to metabolic syndrome.
Hey, if cardiologists won’t drink the stuff, why should you? Plain water is always better, but you can add bits of fruit to add flavor or stick to unsweetened, home made tea!
Energy drinks
Many doctors believe energy drinks are closer to death tonics than drinks.
Why? Well, let’s break it down. First, you’ve got the most notable feature, the color that simply can’t be found in the natural world. Our ancestors have taught us to stay away from those bright green, red and yellow colors, so why risk it!?
Secondly, they’re high in artificial preservatives, flavors and so much high-fructose corn syrup and caffeine that they could cause you to drop dead on the spot. So much for ‘energy’ drink, huh?
Boxed cereals
Boxed cereals contain so much sugar, it’s ludicrous!
Doctors who work all day and barely get a moment to even breathe know there are better ways to start your day. Poached or boiled eggs with a fistful of greens, avocado, gluten-free bread, and even sardines will keep you going for a lot longer than a bowl of highly processed cereal.
If you’re downright addicted to them then doctors recommend slowly phasing out the cereal- eating less and less every day and having healthier alternatives on the side. One day, eat a smaller bowl of cereal and a boiled egg. The next day, make the bowl even smaller and add some vegetables next to the egg, etc.
While you’re at it, look for low-sugar cereal to make the transition even healthier.
