Not all foods we think are healthy actually promote longevity. Some of them can even harm the body if consumed uncontrollably.
Here is a list of products that, according to research, can negatively affect health:
Garlic
Despite its popularity as a natural cold remedy, garlic contains sulfone hydroxyl ions, which can damage brain cells. It is also high in copper, an excess of which shortens lifespan. A safe dose is no more than one clove per day.
Green tea
Green tea contains large amounts of caffeine and theine, which can negatively affect the heart and nervous system. Improperly brewed green tea can increase blood pressure and even cause a heart attack.
Red meat:
According to research from Harvard Medical School, regular consumption of red meat increases the risk of early death by 13%. The reason is the high amount of saturated fat and sodium.
Prunes
If prunes are treated with sulfur dioxide (additive E220), they can be harmful. Also, due to their high calorie and sugar content, this product is not recommended for diabetics and people watching their weight.
Ice cream:
Ice cream with vegetable fats, including palm oil, which becomes carcinogenic after heat treatment, is often sold under the guise of ice cream. It is worth carefully reading the product composition.
Fresh fruit juice
Excessive consumption of fresh juices can cause vitamin overdose and stomach problems due to high acidity. Pure fructose without fiber can also negatively affect metabolism.
