Myths about food zero

Whenever you see the words ‘’fat-free’’ or ’’sugar free’’, think of the words ‘’chemical storm’’. Junk is junk, stop being a victim of Jedi mind trick!

If it’s a junk food and there happens to be diet or sugar free version, is still a junk food and obesity agent. In a fat free version, fat is replaced with sugar and vice versa. Firstly, it’s a processed food; secondly, it is loaded with empty calories (no fiber, no nutrients). Often the diet or fat free version is more harmful than the original food.

For instance, in diet coke, the caffeine content is high as compared to the normal version, which is one of the reason people get so addicted to it. Soda, we combine it with heavy meal, or sip the whole day, rotting our teeth, transforming our self into an obese person and walking towards the horizon of diabetes. Try to give up soda, which would be a huge benefit to your waist line.

For salt craving, people opt for yummy chips; a combination of carbohydrate and fat, even healthy version is available but, with iodized salt only. Go for sea salt, as it contain different elements, electrolytes etc. It’s not only going to help your salt craving, but will give you more salt benefits as compared to iodized and other salts.

Asking a hungry man to grab a chocolate bar is cruel. Tons of sugar; tons of empty calories are being consumed, which results into more hunger after eating. Every time we eat food, we add sugar to our blood. When we add lot of sugar to our blood, Blood Sugar Spike goes up, and as it falls down after sometime we feel hungrier. To satisfy your sweet tooth, opt for dark chocolate instead of sugar free version, your craving will be satisfied in couple of bites. Artificial sweeteners in chocolates and tang candies are chemically altered to give that taste. Aspartame is one of them which are neurotoxin.

Health requires healthy food. There is no better time than now to start living healthy today.
