Many of us have been raised to believe that if we really enjoy a certain food, then it is most likely bad for us. Although this is sometimes the case, it is not always true. Below are a few of the most commonly dubbed “Bad” foods which can actually improve your health.
#1 – Drinking coffee is bad for you
Millions of people wake up each day craving their morning cup of coffee. It tastes great, smells divine, and gives you a much needed boost to get you moving. Something that is so desirable surely must be bad for you right?
Wrong. Aside from possibly getting shaky as a result of too much caffeine, coffee is actually beneficial to your health. Coffee comes from a coffee tree, and this plant is packed full of antioxidants which helps prevent cancer. People who have a daily drink of coffee are also less likely to have type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. A Harvard study of more than 125,000 coffee drinkers found that women cut their risk of type 2 diabetes by 30 percent. Coffee also stimulates brain function. Just remember to take it easy on the sugar and creamer!
#2 Eggs raise your cholesterol
It seems that every few years a research study will emerge linking eggs with raised cholesterol levels and heart disease. So will removing eggs from your diet significantly lower your cholesterol and improve your health?
No. Although eggs do contain a significant amount of cholesterol, it’s actually the saturated and trans-fats in a person’s diet that raise the risk of heart disease. Also, eggs are packed full of protein, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D. If you decide to eat eggs for breakfast, just replace a later meal with something lower in cholesterol such as vegetables. The benefits of keeping eggs in your diet will far outweigh the cholesterol intake.
#3 Frozen Vegetables lose their vitamins and nutrients
Do you feeling guilty that you can’t make a trip to the fresh market every day, and instead pack the family freezer full of frozen veggies?
Don’t feel guilty. Frozen vegetables can be just as healthy as fresh vegetables, if not more healthy. As soon as vegetables are harvested their nutrients begin to break down, and the warmer they are the more rapidly this loss occurs. Vegetables that are picked and immediately frozen will actually retain more nutrients than those that are picked and then left to sit on a grocery shelf or market table for days.
