What foods should you not buy in supermarkets?

Grocery shopping can be a real headache for a modern person. Supermarket shelves offer us so much that it’s hard not to get confused and overfill. But there are some products that definitely shouldn't be in your cart. Today we will tell you which products you should not buy in supermarkets.

It was much easier for people before. There wasn't such a crazy variety of food in the stores, and everything had to be prepared at home. The culture of our time forces people to buy more prepared foods, which only harm our health and figure. Of course, we won’t get rid of them all, but it’s still necessary to “clean up” your grocery set.

Semi-finished products

Beautiful cutlets and chops beckon us from bright packaging, it’s simply impossible to resist. But processed foods are a treasure trove of sodium, unhealthy fats, refined sugar, flour and preservatives. Want something quick? Better buy sausages or order pizza - at least it’s not so harmful.

Ready-made rice mixtures

Rice with vegetables seems like a pretty healthy dish. But not frozen in a bag, this is a completely different product with a changed composition. Plus, you are greatly overpaying for it. Cooking rice at home with spices, onions, carrots and peppers will take you no more than half an hour, but believe me, it will be a hundred times tastier and healthier.

Dressings and sauces for salads in jars

This is generally a synthetic poison based on mayonnaise. Such mixtures contain sugar, artificial flavors and aromatic additives, as well as preservatives. And your salad turns from a healthy dish into a harmful calorie bomb. Make your own salad dressing. Mix plain yogurt with spices and olive oil (or even mayonnaise) and herbs - it will turn out just as good.

Ready baked goods

As a rule, bakeries in large supermarkets use ready-made mixtures for baking flour products. And they usually contain a large amount of sugar and preservatives, and may also contain genetically modified soybeans and corn. Buy buns and croissants in small pastry shops or bakeries - there they will only cause one harm - for your figure.

Muesli bars or fitness cereals

These products are included in the healthy nutrition section, but this is not entirely true. Muesli and fitness cereal bars often contain a lot of sugar and artificial additives. In addition, they are often high in calories and are not a complete replacement for a real breakfast or snack. If you really need to snack, it's best to choose fresh fruit or nuts.

Carbonated drinks

Carbonated drinks are a real bomb for your health. They contain a lot of sugar, artificial colors and flavors. Drinking them regularly means harming your body. If you want to drink something refreshing, it is better to choose mineral water, natural juices or tea.

Soft drinks

Non-alcoholic drinks, such as juices, lemonades, low-alcohol cocktails, etc., can be no less harmful than carbonated drinks. They contain a lot of sugar and calories, as well as artificial additives. It is best to drink natural juices without added sugar, as well as fruit drinks without preservatives.

In conclusion, I would like to say that everything we eat is of great importance for our health and figure. Therefore, you should not overuse ready-made products from supermarkets, but rather prepare fresh and healthy food at home.
