Soda
Obviously, soda would be on the list of things doctors avoid. These drinks may give them a burst of energy, but even medical professionals know better than to rely on these high-sugar drinks for a little boost!
What’s worse, the phosphoric acid in soda is harmful to our lower intestines because it flushes out magnesium, calcium, and zinc. So you’re not only ingesting harmful chemicals, but you’re also ridding your body of beneficial ones!
Then, as soon as the sugar rush dies down you’ll feel tired and the craving sets in once more, continuing the cycle.
Trans fats and fat substitutes
Doctors have dubbed these ‘classic artery-cloggers’, so it’s no wonder they’d want to avoid them all day, every day!
Though the general public has become more aware of the harm trans fats and fat substitutes are doing on our bodies, we still think it’s important to remind people every day!
What’s more, if you see partially hydrogenated on the list of ingredients, you should still avoid that product. It’s not in any way better for you though it may sound healthier.
Whey protein
Because whey protein is used by so many athletes, people believe it’s got to be a healthy choice, right? Not all doctors agree, though!
It’s a popular sports supplement used for building muscles. It does so by stimulating our body’s production of androgens and insulin which then leads in an increase of sebum production. At the end of this long list of chemical reactions, you’ve got acne! So you can see why most dermatologists are against the stuff!
In order to alleviate acne, you might want to switch to a non-milk protein. While protein has been proven to cause breakouts, you might also want to look into protein powders instead. These could help you with both your diet and your skin. Just make sure to talk to a nutritionist or dietitians so that you’re making the best, informed decision for your health!
