Avoid These Foods To Live A Longer Life

Microwave Popcorn

You may like to sit down, watch a movie and eat microwaved popcorn, but that's not all you're eating. The lining of these bags often contain toxic materials, which have been linked to cancer.

Also, the corn that's sourced for these products is generally from GMO corn farms. It's believed that our increased consumption of GMO foods is contributing to issues with digestion. If you love popcorn, no need to give it up, just make it the old fashion way. All you need is a bit of olive or coconut oil and organic popcorn kernels.

Farmed Fish

There's no doubt that fish is a healthy source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and minerals, however, farmed fish does not appear to be as beneficial. Farmed salmon, for instance, is often fed grain and soy, resulting in approximately 50 percent less omega-3 fatty acids.

If you're someone who sources plenty of organic fruits and vegetables, you should know that farmed fish generally contains high concentrations of pesticides and antibiotics. The most commonly farmed fish include cod, salmon, catfish, tilapia, and sea bass. Source fish that has been sustainably caught in the wild.
