Marek Skoczylas is a popular doctor on the Internet who also runs his YouTube channel.In one of his videos, he warns against products that only pretend to be healthy.They camouflage well and often have attractive packaging.Throw them in your shopping cart and avoid them by far..
In his YouTube video, Marek Skoczylas does not mention products such as sweets, candies and cakes, instant soups.Everyone already knows that they are not beneficial for health, said the expert.That’s why he decided to focus on those that even often pretend to be healthy.However, they harm us in silence.
It is better to avoid them.The list is long
Flavored dairy products. Yogurts, desserts, buttermilk – their selection is large and each of them has a lot of sugar.Therefore, it is always better to choose dairy products with a natural flavor and possibly add fresh fruit.
Cereal bars. They are presented as a healthy alternative to sweets.However, their composition often resembles them.They contain sugar and often also glucose-fructose syrup.They also contain fat and sometimes a long list of ingredients with ‘e’ symbols.Therefore, if you want to eat them, look for ones that have a good composition, for example, based on oatmeal.
Breakfast cereals. Their composition generally leaves much to be desired.It is mainly wheat flour, if it is whole grain, then usually only 40%.In second place is sugar or glucose-fructose syrup.Although the flakes are enriched with vitamins and minerals, they do not compensate for the excess of carbohydrates and sugar.A better choice? Cook your oatmeal.
‘Healthy’ salty snacks, i.e.j.multigrain crackers, chickpea or lentil chips. Here, manufacturers are playing with trendy ingredients, and when you look at the label, it turns out that there are literally a few percent.Such snacks are mainly based on wheat flour and their calories are not much lower than traditional salty snacks.Chickpea chips and crisps sometimes differ by only about 100 kcal.
Wrapped nuts. Healthy nuts are turned into highly processed products in such snacks.They are full of fat, salt, a whole range of echoes – dyes and preservatives.
Freeze-dried fruit in chocolate. This is a high-calorie snack full of sugar and fat.It doesn’t change anything even if the fruit is in dark chocolate.For such a snack, use one with a low cocoa content.
Soluble cocoa. Just read the ingredients.Sugar comes first.There can be 3 to 5 teaspoons of it in a glass of such a drink, which is a lot.
Soluble teas. In this case, too, it is sugar.There can be up to 4 teaspoons in the glass.
Cappuccino in powder. Here, too, there is an excess of sugar in the composition.Even worse, it also contains fats, especially trans fats, which can contribute to many diseases.
Processed cheeses. These are highly processed products.They are created by mixing different types of cheese, often of low quality.Additional fats, emulsifiers and preservatives are added to this.They have nothing in common with traditional cheeses.
Meat pies. There is little meat in them, but a lot of fat, salt and fillers.
Sandwich pastes. Their main ingredients are fats, preservatives and flavor enhancers.Even if they are supposed to be egg or chickpea based, those are just names and better to avoid.
Premade sauces. Here the reason is the same, just like sandwich pastes, the ingredients are usually terrible.
