If it’s seeing from far distance, some foods are looked healthy because of its packaging or its label behind. Janel Ovrut, MS, RD, a nutritionist from Boston reminds us, before the marketing section of the food producer is “hypnotizing” us with advertisements which promote the importance of a nutrient from one side only.
That’s why Prevention provides a guide for us so that we should not be fooled again by these following foods: Baked potato, this food is low in fat but still has high calorie with a little bit of fiber. Replace it with popcorn that is more fibrous with 65 percent calories lower than potatoes. In order to eat healthy popcorn, cook it with the microwave so that it is free from oil. Doll-shaped candy, our children are surely going to love this sweet food.
In fact, this food is containing high fructose which in a long time can make them fat. Better give them sweets such as dried fruit to increase the fiber intake in their menu. It would be better if we give them fresh fruits to maintain their stamina. Based on a research which is conducted in Greece, children or adults who ate more fruits and vegetables would be protected from various types of cancer.
Ice cream, even though the seller put the label of free calorie, you can be sure that its calorie is still high. Inside a half bowl of ice cream there is 220 calories. Not to mention that there is a sweet taste in the ice cream which will make us want to eat again and again. Try to replace the ice cream with the soy products because their calories are low.
