Product properties

1. Processed meat
   Stay away from processed meats (salami, hot dogs, and sausages). They contain preservatives, artificial dyes, a small amount of poor-quality meat and trans fats. Such ingredients are very harmful to our health, as they can increase the level of cholesterol in the blood, says clinical nutritionist Manal Chauchein. Sausages are loved by children, and it can be difficult to abandon them. In the homes of many of my acquaintances, this is the No. 1 food. If you continue to give your baby sausages, buy only those made specifically for children.
   
   But before buying, carefully study the composition of the product: it should not include harmful additives and soybeans. Moreover, it is desirable to give babies sausage products no more than twice a week. Pay attention to the appearance of products, shelf life and packaging.

2. Ketchup and other purchased sauces

3. Yogurts with a long shelf life
   Many children and adults enjoy yogurt, hoping that it will improve their health. But are all the yogurts we see in stores good for the body? Classic yogurt is the result of mixing fermented milk with fermented milk bacteria. But such a product, as a rule, does not differ in exquisite taste. To improve the situation, manufacturers add flavors, stabilizers and sugar to yogurt.
   
   The beneficial bacteria in yogurt live no more than 3-5 days. Therefore, natural yogurt has a very limited shelf life. At the same time, you can find products with a shelf life of 14 or even 30 days in stores.
   
   To prolong the life of such yogurts, preservatives are added to them, which extend the shelf life from several days to several months, completely killing everything alive and depriving the product of any nutritional value.

4. margarine
   Hydrogenation of fats in the production of margarine, according to recent studies, has an extremely unpleasant side effect. It leads to the formation of trans fats, almost absent in butter and vegetable oil and therefore unusual for our body. Trans fats, the share of which in margarine reaches 40%, increase the level of cholesterol in the blood, disrupt the normal functioning of cell membranes, contribute to the development of vascular diseases, negatively affect sexual potency.

5. Colorful lollipops
   Baby sweets are often the most harmful. A huge amount of sugar and various food dyes not only harm the health of the teeth, but also lead to weight gain. Empty calories, which are contained in lollipops and caramels, do not satisfy hunger, but on the contrary, increase appetite.

7. Sugar substitutes
   Some sugar substitutes have a higher glycemic index than sugar itself. They are quickly absorbed, and if you do not immediately spend this energy in the gym, it will be deposited on the sides in the form of fat. In the diet of a nutritionist, artificial sweeteners are absent. But honey or raw maple syrup is another matter!
