The Difference Between Dragging Through Your Day And Feeling Great On Your Feet? These Arch Support Insoles
Canola Oil
Many people opt for canola oil instead of olive oil or butter when cooking because it tends to have a lower fat content. However, canola oil is one of the worst cooking ingredients you can use because the process of refining it wipes away all nutrients.
Margarine
Margarine can be a bad choice for a similar reason to canola oil. This butter alternative is high in trans fat, which puts you at risk for health concerns like heart disease and high cholesterol.
Soy Milk
Even though soy milk is a very common dairy alternative, it isn’t as good for you as you might assume. It often comes heavily sweetened, using ingredients with high sugar counts. Drinking too much soy milk could bring your sugar intake through the roof.
Granola
Granola looks, tastes and acts like a health food, but the truth is that it is high in sugar, calories and carbs. The best way to eat granola risk-free is to buy it plain and unflavored and mix it into foods yourself.
