I want you to have knowledge that will empower you. I want you to stay healthy and avoid diet-related diesases. I’m hear to give tell you the truth-straight up.
So that being said here is the first installment in a new recurring segment in the Sassy Girl Fitness Blog dedicated to foods to avoid.
For example…
Supplements can be a godsend to your health or a huge waste of money.
Yes, calcium, saw palmetto, and folic acid, offer real health benefits. But things like gingseng for energy or garlic for lowering cholesterol are a waste of money because they are unproven. Some supplements like St. John’s wort might even do harm to you.
Stay Away From Margarine.
Here is a straight forward answer for you. Stick margarines are loaded with partially hydrogenated oils. YUCK! Not so good for your heart. Trans fat increases bad cholesterol and promotes heart disease.
Fat-Free Sweets: The Truth!
Fat-free foods are great for people who want the taste but not the fat in cakes, cookies, ice cream and other goodies. But unfortunately some of the “fat free” foods contain just as many calories as the regular food. UGH! And some have additives like sorbitol that can cause diarrhea.
You can be happier knowing that you are making smart food choices for you. You are in control of your health and that my friend is super sassy.
