The items on this list won’t come as a shocking surprise to you, but it can be a good opportunity to do a quick tally and see how many of these have snuck into your diet:

The things that take away health instead of adding it

Without further ado, they are…

• Alcohol: not only is it high in empty calories, but also it’s bad for pretty much everything, especially increasing the risks of liver disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
• Processed snacks: low in nutrition; contain unhealthy fats, refined sugars, and artificial additives that often aren’t great.
• Potato chips: get their own category for being especially high in fat, sodium, and empty calories; contribute to heart disease and weight gain.
• Processed cheese: some kinds of cheese are gut-healthy in moderation, but this isn’t. Instead, it’s just loaded with saturated fats, sodium, and sugars, and is pretty much heart disease in a slice.
• Donuts: deep-fried, sugary, and made with refined flour; cause blood sugar spikes and crashes, and what’s bad for your blood sugars is bad for almost everything else.
• French fries & similar deep-fried foods: high in saturated fats and sodium; contribute to obesity and heart issues, are not great for blood sugars either.
• White bread: made with refined flour; cause blood sugar spikes and metabolic woes.
• Sodas: high in sugar or artificial sweeteners; can easily lead to weight gain, diabetes, and tooth decay.
• Processed meats: high in calories and salt; strongly associated with heart disease and cancer.
• Hot dogs & fast food burgers: get their own category for being the absolute worst of the above-mentioned processed meats.
