50% of men will die from heart failure... maybe more by the time you read this. In this day and age heart disease is rampant. Sad but true... the eating habits of many people these days are literally killing them. Watch what you eat.
Not only if you are a body builder, but even if you aren't one. All of us should be concerned about our diet and our health. Take some notes and make sure that you pay attention. I'm sure there will be a few items on this list that you never dreamed were bad for you.. Solid oils. You know what these are. Stuff like Crisco and other shortening.
I think that some people use them in place of lard and actually think it is better for them. If you are making a pie crust or something, skip the shortening and use the lard.
One way to think about these types of foods is to consider the shelf life that they have. They have an incredible shelf life. Consider for a moment how tough it is going to be for your body to break these down.
Then there are deep fried foods. Run like the wind away from these. There are far too many medical risks related to fried foods to mention in this article, so it is safe to say that by eating this type of food, you put yourself at a higher risk.
Refined flour and store bought flour. This has been bleached and everything under the sun done to it. When this happens, all the good stuff from it is taken away. The reason why you are eating is, is been stolen from you. Stick with good whole wheat. That is what is best for you.
Brown (unprocessed rice) is better for you than white. With brown rice you'll still get everything that the white rice offers and even more in the way of nutrition. If you don't want to give up your white rice, then at least mix some brown and white rice together as you go.
Sugar. This is a no brainer really. You should try to consume as little as you possibly have to. Also, fructose is a building block for cholesterol. Keep that in mind when you have your next can of soda.
Canned soups. These are almost always loaded with salt. If you want to buy these, make sure you get ones that are low in salt. If you have a craving for soup, see if your local deli makes soup. It will be lower in salt. That will make your heart happy.
Any type of processed and canned meat is also going to loaded with salt. Your body can't possibly effectively process all of this. This is unhealthy... can you say heart attack in a can?
If not for you then for your children if you are a parent. Establishing healthy eating habits right out of the gate is of utmost importance. The longer kids go down the path of unhealthy eating the tougher it is going to be to break this unhealthy cycle. Things such as luchables and snack packs are loaded with fat with a capital 'L'. Child obesity is a serious problem that is rising sharply and it is simply because poor eating habits... eating habits that have been developed at a very early age... like when the parents are making the menu choices for them. Not because it's all there is.
