With each passing year, people think that drinking low-sugar aerated drinks is beneficial for your health, but artificial sweeteners cause problems because they can change gut bacteria. They also cause blood sugar to spike and thereby raise your risk for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The World Health Organization and American Heart Association recommend 25-36 grams of sugar per day. But most of us consume 48 teaspoons. Excess amounts of sugar can cause inflammation in the body and slow your metabolism.
Drinking booze irritates your gastrointestinal tract which can cause long-term damage to the body's ability to absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat.
Frozen meals are loaded with sodium and lack fibre. So instead of helping you lose weight, this type of meal when eaten regularly can actually slow down your metabolism.
