Many foods seem healthy but are unhealthy due to hidden sugars, fats, and processed ingredients that reduce their nutritional value, here are some to see.
1
Most multi-grain breads contain enriched wheat flour, not whole grains. Opt for breads listing whole grains as the first ingredient.
2
Flatbreads are dense and calorie- rich, often surpassing regular bread, Consider using romaine lettuce or open-faced sandwiches instead.
3
Flavoured and frozen yoghurts are high in sugar, choose plain Greek yoghurt and add fresh fruit for natural sweetness.
4
Energy bars often resemble candy in sugar and calories, Opt for bars with simple, whole ingredients or skip altogether.
5
Packaged crunchy snacks are often calorie-dense with little nutrition, Replace with raw veggies and hummus or peanut butter.
6
Dried fruit is calorie-dense and easy to overeat, choose whole, fresh fruits like apples, oranges, or bananas instead.
7
Plant-based milks lack cow's milk's nutrient profile and can be sugary, Stick to cow's milk unless allergies or aversions exist.
