Which foods do people think are healthy but are actually unhealthy?
- Almost everything that comes from a packet no matter how healthy it is being advertised.
- As a rule of thumb - the lesser the ingredients better the product. And always always check the ingredients.
- Low Sugar/ Low fat food. Most of the times to compensate one thing they add something else that retains the taste but is equally un-healthy.
- No sugar chocolates (Not all) - Most of the times they instead add a substitutes of sugar which are equally bad if not more.
- Milk and milk products that we get - If you are not using milk or milk products from Desi A2 Cow (which is fed organically). Pure A2 milk is considered as amrit/amrut/elixir of life in Ayurveda. The normal milk that we get in India is usually loaded with pesticides and antibiotics.
- Mixing fruits with meals or immediately after meals.
- Brown Bread(most)- You might want to see the ingredients on the package. Most of the breads would be made of refined flour with a brown color , hence “brown bread”.
- Yakult/most energy bar/ flavoured yoghurt- Loaded with sugar.
