Bacteria Living in Our Gut
Your gut
microflora isn't just sitting silently waiting for you to chow down your next meal.
Cut Out Sugar and Processed Food What is processed food? Here are two very common examples
Bacon
contains high levels of sodium, which can lead to high blood pressure. And
sodium is just the beginning.
Part of the
reason why bacon is so delicious is because it’s loaded with saturated fat.
Saturated fat is linked to heart disease and obesity. Danger also lurks in
virtually all store-bought bacon because of how many preservatives it contains,
which are related to every health concern from headaches to cancer.
Granola Bars
Processed
Foods Granola Bars
Consider the
granola bar, also known as the cereal bar. They are stuffed with hearty grains
and packaged in boxes featuring mountains and sunrises. So wholesome!
Too bad
granola bars are also loaded with added sugars, which digest quickly and don’t
satisfy hunger for long. Despite their healthy marketing image, granola bars
don’t offer much in the way of good nutrition. Avoid them for their high
simple-carbohydrate count and the long ingredient list filled with
difficult-to-pronounce words.
