Nutritionist Amita Gadre recently shared six foods she avoids: energy drinks, detox juices, foods with added color, processed savory snacks (namkeen), anything with whipped cream, and fruit juices. According to Dr. Narander Singla, these choices are well-founded for health reasons. Energy drinks are high in sugar and caffeine, which can harm the heart and metabolism. Detox juices lack the beneficial fiber of whole fruits and vegetables. Artificial food colors are unnecessary additives with uncertain long-term effects. Savory snacks like namkeen are high in unhealthy trans fats and salt, which can lead to cardiovascular issues. Whipped cream toppings are often made from unhealthy palm oil, rich in saturated fats. Lastly, fruit juices lack fiber and are high in sugar compared to eating the whole fruit. Overall, avoiding these items aligns with a diet that prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods for long-term health.
