A leading intestinal expert has unveiled a surprising list of apparently healthy food that he avoids to protect his intestinal health and to ward off inflammation.
Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a trained gastroenterologist in Harvard, has warned that people consume ‘hidden’ ultra-processed foods, preservatives and sweeteners.
From snack bars to salad dressings, Dr. Sethi – who has 1.2 million Instagram followers – says that people are still being duped by products that seem to be healthy options, but maybe not.
One of the worst offenders, he says, his granola, fruit yogurt and sugar-free chewing gum all often put on the market as healthy options, but can in fact contribute to inflammation and poor intestinal health.
Snack bars also make his blacklist. “They are in fact Candybars in disguise with emulsifiers, fake fiber and sperm oil,” he said in a Instagram -Report.
Emulsengors, which are usually used to bulk and retain processed foods such as yogurt and cereals, can change the structure of the intestinal wall.
According to Dr. Sethi form these additives, when these additives are taken, a gel -like lump that can disrupt digestion and disrupt the balance of microbes in the intestine.
This, it is theoretized, can disrupt the natural separation between the fat layer and the water layer in the intestine, which increases the risk of bacterial infections.
Dr. Saurabh Sethi said he avoids these foods to protect his intestinal health, making simple swaps to ward off inflammation
Cereal bars may seem like a handy way to manage hunger along the way, but Dr. Sethi warns that they are also full of additives and seed oil
Instead of reaching for a handy but highly processed snack bar, Dr. Sethi for a handful of nuts or fruit with nut butter.
Nuts naturally contain a lot of fiber-that is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type two diabetes and colon cancer-even proteins and omega-3 fats.
Usually referred to as roughage, fibers also help prevent constipation, help digestion and help us feel fuller for longer.
Flavored yogurt that seem healthy are just as bad according to the gastroenterologist who said that they are often full of extra sugars – the natural content of a food or drink item – and artificial flavorings.
And he didn’t stop there when it comes to breakfast staples with hidden ingredients. “Granola with added sugars are often worse than desert,” he said.
Instead, he orders the day to start with a bowl of Paphaver or regular yogurt with berries and chia seeds.
Berries such as blueberries and chia seeds are full of antioxidants who can help the body fight against free radicals that are linked to diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
It is not only your breakfast that is probably full of additives – snacks and herbs that are marketed as ‘sugar -free’ or ‘healthy’, are also worthwhile to be on their care for Dr. Sethi.
Nutritionists use a scale of 1-4 for classifying foods from unprocessed to ultra.
“Sugar Free Gum contains artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol that can activate gas, bloated feeling and diarrhea.”
Instead, Dr. Sethi on to chew fennel seeds – which naturally contain a lot of iron, zinc and calcium – after a meal to help and freshen up digestion.
Also on the list to be avoided is pre -prepared salad dressings. “Even” healthy “salad dressing purchased in the store is often full of inflammatory oils and added sugars,” he said.
“It is better to make a fresh of olive oil, lemon, mustard and herbs.”
Refinitated seed oil such as Canola, Soy or Corn oil are also a red flag for Dr. Sethi because they are high omega-6 fats.
Some claim that these can be just as bad, or even worse for the heart as traditional animal fats such as butter and dripping beef.
“Try to cook with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, ghee or coconut oil to keep your intestines healthy and to ward off inflammation,” the intestinal expert recommends.
Dr. Sethi also recommends reducing the amount of milk – and therefore, the milk sugar lactose, which can be confronted in people with intolerances.
According to Dr. Sethi, sugar -free gums are full of artificial sweeteners that can cause uncomfortable bloating, excessive gas and diarrhea
“Lactose can be annoying for sensitive intestines and a bloated feeling or discomfort,” he explained. “Try ordinary coffee or add cinnamon and almond milk instead.”
Finally, Dr. warned Sethi that instant noodles can destroy your intestinal health.
He said: ‘Instant noodles contain many preservatives, little food and terrible for intestinal microbes. For a 10 -minute upgrade, bouillon pour over rice noodles and vegetables. ‘
The warning from the intestine expert comes, in terms of new research, has shown that children who consume a diet consume full of sweeteners, perhaps a higher risk of reaching puberty earlier.
Commonly used sweeteners found in drinks such as cola diet and chewing, because sugar alternatives have long been linked to certain cancers and heart problems.
But now the Taiwanese experts have discovered that high levels of additives can also cause central early -rich puberty – where the first signs of puberty usually come to the fore before the age of eight in girls and nine in boys.
Higher consumption of ‘added sugars’ is also linked to an earlier puberty increases the risk of other health problems, including depression, diabetes and even cancer.
