Compared to today, 20 years ago we used to earn less, eat less, and work more. Today we earn more, eat more, and work less. As a result, the diseases which used to occur earlier at the age of 60 are now occurring at 30 itself. Diabetes, hypertension, PCOS, thyroid, and heart diseases have become common. The biggest hand in making us sick is our food. What is not to eat to stay healthy? This is the right way to stay healthy, and this is the topic of this article in which you will know, "What are the 3 most harmful foods?"
3 - Soft drinks
Today we mainly consume three types of soft drinks in the market. 1 is black Coke Pepsi- Carmel is used to make it black, which is obtained by burning sugar. Acrylamide is made from Carmel which has been considered responsible for cancer. 2 - Yellow or white Sprite, Fanta, Mirinda, and Fruity Artificial color, eg E110 Disodium 6-Hydroxy-5-[(4-Sulfophenyl)azo]-2-Naphthalenesulfonate, which was banned by the European Union considering it responsible for attention deficit disorder in children. These multinational companies do not find this artificial color in their products in Europe. But due to a lack of regulation in India, even today we buy this garbage by paying money. Apart from this, these products are mixed for longer use, Sodium benzoate. When it meets ascorbic acid, it results in carcinogenic benzene. The same benzene was found in USFDA testing.
So, Coke and Pepsi removed sodium benzoate from their soft drinks in the US. But still, these companies selling more than one billion products daily in the Indian and African continents are fearlessly mixing Sodium Benzoate. Apart from this, a 500 to 600 ml bottle of both these types of soft drinks contains 60 to 85 grams of sugar, which is equal to about 12 to 20 teaspoons. If this much sugar does not cause cancer, obesity, thyroid, PCOS, and diabetes, then what will happen? Once diabetes occurs, it can lead to high blood pressure, kidney failure, impotence, and loss of eyesight. So if you want to be healthy, children also have to be born. So stay away from black, yellow, white soft drinks.
2 - Fried Food
Found in a joint study by the National Diabetes Obesity and Cholesterol Foundation, IIT Delhi, and Diabetes Foundation of India, if any edible oil is heated repeatedly, trans-fat increases in it. Anything cooked in repeatedly heated oil is an invitation to make yourself ill. Eating such things for a long time also increases the risk of diabetes, heart attack, obesity, liver failure, and cancer. In order to save oil, even in our homes, oil is heated again and again. Oil is not reheated in only 6% of Indian households. Oil is rarely changed at shops. Shopkeepers use till the last drop of oil. On average, Indian shopkeepers heat the oil 6 to 8 times. That's why remember your doctor when he tells you to stop eating fried food. So next time while eating your favorite fried food, take care of the oil of the shop. That's why stop eating shop tikkis, samosas, pakoras, jilbia, and fried things and stay healthy.
1 - Sugar
Sweet sugar is seductive and toxic. And when I am talking about sugar, it includes refined sugar, jaggery, honey, molasses syrup, high fructose corn syrup.
Chemically, our body understands all these things in a way. Sugar is made up of two molecules, glucose and fructose. After breaking down in our gut, glucose gives energy to muscles and brain. The same fructose gets stored in the liver and the problem starts from here. When the liver has to metabolize more fructose, it turns it into liver fat. This is where metabolic diseases start. Too much fructose shuts down that part of the brain which tells you that you are eating more now. That's why people eat more sugar, because they don't even know.
When there is more fructose in the liver, the pancreas has to make more insulin. This is where diabetes starts. Eating sugar causes diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, Alzheimer's, and cancer. This has been proved in many scientific studies. So, when sugar is so harmful, why don't people leave it? You will get the answer from 2 studies.
Researchers from Brown University, Rhode Island filled a rat with water. Then, they poured it and the rat came out safely again and again. When the same second rat was put in a tub of sugar water, the rat could not find a way out of the tub because sugar had damaged the rat's brain. Sugar is more addictive than codeine. That's why it becomes impossible to leave it.
Many of us consider jaggery better than sugar. You should keep in mind that no matter what you believe, but your body considers both the same. To get the same amount of sweetness that you get from sugar, you have to use 3 times more jaggery. So, chemically, jaggery is more harmful than sugar because more fructose will enter your body.
If you want a detailed study on the harm of sugar, then the book written in 1972 by British nutritionist John Yudkin is for you, "Pure White And Deadly." To say in one line, 2023 is the best year to stop sugar and start health. So exclude these three things from food and get longevity.
