Foods To Forever Remove From The Fridge And The Mind

Creamy Dressings Clog Arteries

You might think that eating salad is a super healthy way to get your vegetables, but the moment you pour on a ton of blue cheese or ranch dressing, you might as well have gotten a greasy burger at the fast food joint down the road. Rather than using ranch or blue cheese dressing on salad or as a dip with vegetables, consider making your own creamy dressing using cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is much lower in those bad fats than the salad dressing and can be transformed by adding herbs and seasoning, or even just a bit of salsa or hot sauce.

Cut Out The Cheese Slices

Cheese slices may be convenient, but they are another food to remove from the fridge forever. Processed cheese slices are high in preservatives, which makes them a toxin to the body that you are trying to make healthy. Cheese may be high in fats, but some cheeses are healthier than others. For example, aged cheddar is easier for the body to digest (yes, even for those who are lactose intolerant). Raw local cheese can provide some great probiotic benefits to the diet. Aged gouda is also good for those who have lactose intolerance, as is most goat cheese. Choose these and you can still enjoy the taste of good cheese with less guilt.
