If you want to stay healthy, you need to change the foods that are in your diet. The good news is that there are lots of options out there; the bad news is that it can be tough to figure out which ones are best and which ones aren’t! Here are some things we’ve learned about what not to eat if you want to stay healthy:

What you eat can make a huge difference to your mood, energy levels, and how your brain and bodywork.

Here are some of the worst foods that we put in our bodies, and what you can replace them with.

Sugary soft drinks and fast food are two of the worst culprits when it comes to making you feel bad. They’re loaded with sugar, which can lead to weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes.

To avoid these unhealthy additions, try switching out your soda for water or unsweetened iced tea instead. And if you’re looking for something greasy but delicious (and kid-friendly), try some homemade popcorn with salt instead!

SUGARY SOFT DRINKS

A soda is a drink that contains high amounts of sugar, often in the form of high fructose corn syrup. Sugary soft drinks may be appealing to you because they’re sweet and tasty, but they’re also extremely harmful to your health.

• Sugar consumption increases your risk for Type 2 diabetes by 65%. The more sugary foods you eat (like soda) or beverages you drink (like juice), the higher your risk of developing this disease becomes.
• Drinking too much soda can make you overweight or obese by as much as 20 pounds over 10 years! This is because sodas contain empty calories—calories that won’t give your body anything beneficial—and excessive amounts can contribute to weight gain over time. Soda is also one of many sources of empty calories: it’s typically only 25% fruit juice plus 75% water; however, other types have even less percentage fruit content (such as diet sodas).

Most people know that soft drinks are bad for us, but many of us don’t realize just how bad they are.

These sodas are full of sugar, which is why they taste so good to our brains.

But the effects they have on our bodies are not pretty. Even just a couple of cans a week can increase your risk of becoming obese by 65%. Soft drinks are also the number one source of calories for people between the ages of 2-18. And let’s not even mention the scary links that have been drawn between soft drink consumption and diabetes. If you’re craving a sweet drink, have something like 100% fruit juice or even milk instead.

FAST FOOD

While fast food may sound like a healthy option, it can be deceiving. The calorie content of a cheeseburger with fries averages out to 1,000 calories and the average sandwich at Subway has about 500. So if you’re trying to lose weight or keep your figure in check, fast food simply won’t cut it!

Consider choosing healthier options like salads or sandwiches instead of burgers that come with cheese and meat toppings (and don’t forget about all those condiments). You’ll get more protein from vegetables than from animal products—and they’ll fill up with fewer calories!

This might be an obvious one, but it’s still worth mentioning; fast food is extremely unhealthy.

It’s usually high in calories and low in nutrients, and many fast food restaurants are very sneaky about the ingredients they use (especially when it comes to those tasty sauces). If you need to eat out, consider healthier options like Subway where you can choose exactly what goes into your sandwich or salad.

If you’re feeling more ambitious than that, try making your sandwich from scratch with whole grains like wheat bread or quinoa instead of white flour products. Or consider making one from scratch at home instead of going through the drive-thru!

REFINED BREAD

Refined bread, such as white bread and bagels, is made from flour that has been stripped of its natural vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These refined products have a higher glycemic index (GI) than whole-grain bread. The GI is a measure of how quickly a food raises blood sugar levels after eating it; the higher the number, the faster it goes up in your bloodstream.

In general terms: if you eat too much-refined sugar or processed foods like chips or cookies you can end up with severe health problems including obesity or diabetes—and those are just two examples!

Conclusion

So, what are you going to do? Are you going to give up refined bread and start eating whole grains instead? Or will you continue eating that delicious slice of pizza with cheese and pepperoni every night? No matter what choice you make, it’s important not to let these foods control your life. They shouldn’t dictate how we feel about ourselves or how much energy we have for other activities in life. If anything, choosing healthier options should be rewarded by feeling better in every way possible!
