Avoid These Foods To Live Longer

'Diet' Foods

Unfortunately, many food companies have taken advantage of the millions of individuals who are desperate to lose weight and have created 'diet' versions of the products they currently make or develop new diet products. These foods are often packed with hidden additives, as well as plenty of sugar and salt. Just because something has zero fat, does not mean it is healthy. These foods also give consumers the wrong idea, making them believe all fat is the enemy, when in reality, it is the type of fat that makes all the difference. An individual's best bet is to consume whole foods that provide them with nutrients, not manufactured 'diet' foods.

Microwave Popcorn

Many individuals may like to sit down, watch a movie, and eat microwaved popcorn, but that is not all they are eating. The lining of a bag of microwave popcorn often contains toxic materials, which have been linked to cancer. Also, the corn sourced for these products is generally from genetically modified (GMO) corn farms. It is believed the increased consumption of GMO foods is contributing to issues with digestion. If individuals love popcorn, there is, thankfully, no need to give it up. They just have to make it the old fashion way with a little coconut or olive oil, organic popcorn kernels, and a tall pot on the stove.
