10 Foods That You Must Avoid If You Want To Be Healthy (2 of 3)

Frozen Meals

We get that frozen meals are super convenient and many of the high-end products are surprisingly delicious. But when it comes to eating healthy, it is important to be in control of what you’re putting into your body. This is where frozen meals really fail. Simply put, they contain way too much salt, fat and weird additives, and preservatives that you would never find in your kitchen. Being a busy person is no excuse for healthy eating. If you have to cook multiple meals on weekends so that you’ve got something to eat when you get home on weeknights, so be it. Just freeze them and reheat!

Donuts

We get it. Donuts come in a million varieties, and they are all equally incredible whether they’re stuffed with strawberry jam or cream. It’s also a fast, easy breakfast that accompanies your latte. But we’re talking about sugary dough that is fried. There is simply nothing good that comes from this. High blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity is all you’ll gain. Plus, you’ll start your day with a sugary crash, making it difficult to get any work done. Enjoy a hard-boiled egg and a bowl of high-fiber cereal with sugar-free oat milk instead.

Margarine

When you choose margarine over butter, you might think you’re going with the healthier option. After all, the margarine companies love to boast about being cholesterol-free, which is good in itself, but is completely offset by their partially hydrogenated oils, which contain trans fat — the most dangerous fat imaginable. In small qualities, natural butter is much better. But in regard to cooking, you’ll get healthy fats by using extra virgin olive oil or canola oil instead of either margarine or butter.
