When you choose to assume control over your eating habits to lose pounds and body fat, it is crucial to avoid 2 ingredients : high-fructose corn syrup and trans-fats. These 2 health-robbing chemicals are present in a wide-variety of prepared foods, including baked goods, soft-drinks and salad dressings.
High-fructose corn syrup ( HFCS ) is a standard replacement for more costly cane sugar in a multitude of products. The fact that high-fructose corn syrup is a diet-killer is that it wreaks havoc on blood-sugar levels. High blood-sugar levels are linked to lots of the conditions that plague modern life : pre-diabetes ( diminished fasting blood-sugar levels ) type II diabetes,and coronary heart-disease. One of the primary sources of HFCS in our diets is soft drinks. Did you know that one 48-oz.”super-size” soda can contain as many as 550 calories, not to mention the equivalent of over 13 tablespoons of sugar? If you drink one of these each day for a week without reducing your caloric intake or burning off an equivalent amount of calories through exercise, you can gain a pound a week–a whopping 52 pounds a year! Replace any beverages containing HFCS with cold, refreshing water or unsweetened ice tea as a most important step to lose healthy weight. If you are a regular customer of soda, youwill shed pounds by following this simple step alone.
Trans-fats are commonly found in baked goods like pies, cookies, crackers and also as oil for frying goods like french-fries or potato chips. Trans-fats were developed to guarantee a long shelf-life for these types of products, but their negative health effects were unknown at the time of their development. Trans-fats are made by taking a mono-unsaturated ( liquid ) fat and reacting it with hydrogen gas. The resulting fat from the reaction is solid at 70 degrees. When we consume trans-fats, they build up in our arteries just as grease clogs a drain. At last, this increase of fat in our arteries can cause coronary heart disease and stroke, and is also assumed to make a contribution to dementia in the old.
So how can we avoid all of these lethal ingredients in our foods? Our first and best line of defense is just by reading the labels on food products. Both high-fructose corn-syrup and trans-fats are required to be listed on labels. Also, be careful of fast-foods like fried chicken, fish sandwiches and fried pies. Ask if these foods have been prepared with trans-fat free oils or not. If the restaurant staff can’t tell you if the food is fried in oil containing trans-fat or not, it’s best to avoid it altogether. So educate yourself as a consumer and harvest the health advantages of your due research.
