Healthy Foods That Aren't So Healthy

Whole Grains

We believe that ditching refined carbs is a good thing. We then embrace whole grains- which is also a good thing. But why do you still feel heavy after eating a few slices of brown bread? Well, as fibre cannot be digested fast, you may feel heavy. In fact, it is one of the healthy foods that make you feel bloated.

Green Tea

Yes, green tea offers many health benefits. But the problem is when you consume too much of it, the caffeine content in it may start bothering you. It is a diuretic and may also cause stomach issues and disturbed sleep if consumed in excess.

Raw Veggies

There is no doubt that raw veggies are healthy, but some of them do contain certain nutrients that are not digestible easily. This may cause bloating or digestive issues. So, steamed vegetables are better options to include in your diet than raw veggies.

Dairy

Though dairy products are very healthy due to their nutrients, excessive consumption may cause issues such as diarrhoea, gastric troubles, and other digestive issues.

Sugar-Free Gums

It may seem to be a healthy option to choose sugar-free gums instead of the sugary ones. However, certain ingredients like sorbitol and manitol present in them can make you feel bloated and gassy.

Fruit Juices

Yes, they are good for health, but conditions apply. If you have the habit of adding sugar to your fruit juices, and if you strain the juice leaving all the fibre content aside, then your juices are no longer healthy. They simply may cause sudden spikes in your blood sugar levels and may also add up to your calorie consumption.
