The 10 foods you should never eat
Foods to Avoid, foods you should never eat
As a human being, when we are told not to do something, our instinct can be to do exactly that. Indeed, this can be the case with food restriction but when you are a trained nutritionist there are some foods that you know offer so little nutritionally that you would rather not eat at all than get your energy from these particular options. Some of these may seem obvious while some may surprise you as they commonly masquerade as "healthy" options
WHITE BREAD
While it may claim to be as good as wholemeal or wholegrain breads with extra fibre and nutrients added, it is still not as good nutritionally as wholegrain bread. In fact, in the eyes of a nutritionist, pure white bread sends blood glucose levels skyrocketing in a similar way to confectionery or soft drinks. Yes, it is true that sourdough is a better option but it does not change the fact that for those who can tolerate it, grain bread is best.
SOFT DRINK
This one needs no explanation, perhaps ranking the worst of all when it comes to nutrition cost benefit analysis. With nine teaspoons of sugar per can, and as liquid sugars are among the worst we can consume, you do not need a nutrition degree to know that soft drink is bad news.
BANANA BREAD
If you consider that the average muffin or slice of banana bread contains more than 60 grams of total carbohydrate (the equivalent of four slices of bread), 20-30 grams of fat and at least four teaspoons of sugar, it is safe to say that there is nothing healthy about banana bread except the bananas, and it should really just be called banana cake.
LOLLIES
It does not matter if they are "natural" or "fruit" flavoured, lollies are basically pure sugar. Five to six individual lollies contain as much as three to six teaspoons of sugar. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a sweet treat occasionally but who can stop at just five or six. If you are looking for a sweet hit, a few squares of dark chocolate is a much better option nutritionally.
CHOCOLATE NUT SPREAD
Popular in Europe, chocolate nut spreads are frequently present on Italian dessert menus but here we are encouraged to spread them on toast instead of jam or peanut butter. With the first few ingredients listed as sugar and vegetable oil, chocolate spread contains a lot more bad fat than it does good fat from nuts.
FRUIT BARS
There is a massive difference between a piece of fresh fruit, with all the nutrients and fibre it contains, and the compressed mix of fruit, sugar, gums and flavours that make up a fruit stick or strap. Not only are processed fruit snacks a nightmare for the teeth, they are also far more concentrated in energy than fruit itself. Eat your fruit the way nature intended it, not from a packet.
DOUGHNUTS
One of the relatively few foods that still contains a significant dose of trans fats, the type of fat that has been directly linked to heart disease, doughnuts are one of the worst baked goods nutritionally. Topped with high sugar icing and loads of fat, the average doughnut will set you back at least 400 calories and 20 grams of total fat, 10 of which are saturated.
RICE SNACKS
It doesn't matter if rice has been made into a snack bar, cake, puff or crisp, rice is a dense source of high glycaemic index carbohydrate, which means that blood glucose levels rapidly increase after it is consumed, along with the hormone insulin, which promotes fat storage in the body. Rice snacks are also low in protein and other key nutrients. They simply offer "empty calories" along with a rapid rise in blood glucose levels rather than long lasting energy. Better snack options when it comes to blood glucose control include corn- or rye-based cakes and crackers.
CHEESE-FLAVOURED SNACKS
While you can find plain potato chips cooked in sunflower oil, cheese-flavoured snacks can be pretty nasty - packed with fat, flavours, colours and even MSG, the ingredient list itself explains why it is difficult to stop eating once you start but also why a plain potato chip cooked in sunflower oil is many times better than any extruded cheese snack.
MARGARINE
Spreads are a controversial food topic among nutrition professionals as the recommended switch from butter to margarine originally came from evidence that plant-based oils were better for the heart than animal-based fat. While this is true, nutritionists will generally recommend foods that are as natural as possible and when it comes to margarine it is an added fat that we do not "need" in our diet. In general, we get plenty of good fat from avocados, nuts, good quality oils, seeds already. If you do choose to use a spread, at least look for a reduced fat variety.

食生,即是吃仍然有生命的、含豐富酵素的食物,同時是指未經過加熱至41°C以上,或經商業加工的食物,即現在愈來愈多人認識的 raw food。但是,使用了化學添加劑的罐頭、經輻射處理的水果等不能算是合適的食物。而有些食物即使未經加熱,例如乾冬菇、蝦米、已過期不能再發芽的豆、白米,幾乎都失去了全部酵素,毫無生命力,這樣對人的益處遠遠不及「食生」。
為何要食生?
以下是食生的十大好理由:
1. 營養好:食生不但保存了食物的營養,還吸收得更快更好。
2. 睡得好:睡眠質素提升,容易入睡,醒來時舒服又精神。
3. 精神好:睡眠所需時間減少,多勞而不累,精力旺盛,體能增強,耐力倍增。
4. 消化好:排泄暢通,腸胃感覺舒服輕鬆。
5. 儀容好:體型變佳,容光煥發,毛髮變黑又亮麗,皮膚嫰滑,斑紋及其他皮膚問題消失,體臭減少,樣貌返老還童。
6. 身體好:多食生,就能大大減少生病的機會,抵抗力更強,而且百病早癒。
7. 味覺好:不用長期大量吃人工化學添加劑,例如調味料、染料、防腐劑、抗生素等毒物刺激味覺。
8. 心情好:情緒愈來愈正面,時常開心積極,內在充滿喜悅。
9. 生態好:減少消耗能源,生態友善,對保育大有貢獻,而且慈悲蒙福。
10. 靈感好:靈感泉湧,腦力大增,觸覺敏銳,祈禱、練功等效果提升。
是否一定要100%食生才是最好?
不少食生者儘量採用100%生食,也有很多人認為75%至90%已經非常理想,平日隨心吃小量熟食。也有些食生者多吃不同種類的食物,例如果食者(Fruitarians)以吃水果為主;
芽菜食者(Sproutarians)以吃發芽的種子為主;
汁食者(Juicearians)以喝果菜榨的汁為主。
按照原則,吃蛋(未經加熱的)、奶(直接榨出來未經處理的)、肉(包括海鮮,未經烹煮)、
蜜糖(未經處理的)也算是食生,確有小部分食生者會吃這些東西。
根據我自己的體驗,只要做到50至70%食生,生命已經完全不一樣,身心靈狀態均會有非常明顯的突破,100%食生後,身心靈狀態更有意想不到的美妙體驗。所以,不妨嘗試下定決心,循序漸進地多一點食生,少一點熟食。第一步可以先戒掉嚴重影響健康的食物,例如煎炸食品、加工的肉類及垃圾食物。
食生一定要吃素嗎?
定義和範圍由自己決定,世上的確有人食生但不戒肉的,但是萬中無一。有些在初期未習慣時,還會吃一些生牛扒、魚生,但通常過了不久就戒掉。食生者吃肉沒有好處,一來生肉很難消化,其中的養分更難以吸收,二來是生肉往往帶有寄生蟲和惡菌。基於健康、慈悲、保育生態環境的理由,一般的食生者都反對吃肉,。
單靠食生就能改善健康?
食生是為生命轉化至A++級的飲食法,如能配合以下各種生活習慣,效果更加雙得益彰。
1. 斷食(fasting):即是指自願在某段時間之內選擇不吃固體食物。斷食一兩餐,甚至一兩天,往往產生全面而恆久的排毒效果,甚至加速疾病康復。
2. 洗腸:洗腸排毒是一種應急的方法,對各種亞健康及容貌問題,如頭痛、易感冒、慢性疲勞、消化不良、記憶力衰退、失眠,以及臉色發黃、青春痘、各類色斑、皺紋、肥胖、口臭等均有改善功效,同時還對多種疾病如腹瀉、寄生蟲感染、腸道菌群失調、糞石阻塞症、結
腸炎、結腸癌等,有預防保健作用。
3. 音樂:在進餐前後及期間播放柔揚的、有靈氣的音樂,可以改善情緒,令食素食生更滋味、更滿足。
4. 香氛:在進食的地方散發合適的香味,可以提升情緒和內在的感受,把最簡單又清淡的飲食變得精彩刺激。
5. 按摩:在飯前飯後做簡單的按摩(自己做或與他人互相做),尤其是按摩腹部,不但有助消化吸收、通便、排毒,還有靜心的效果,可令每一餐吃得更舒服又開心。
6. 運動:定期晨運、緩跑、跳繩、游泳、打球、踏單車等,不但舒筋活絡,令全身充氧又排毒,食生也食得更滋味、更易消化吸收。
7. 森林浴:樹林裡的空氣含負離子特別多,大自然的能量特別好,時常到多樹木、溪流、野生動物的地方休息,身心靈各方面都得到淨化和「充電」,對過渡到食生很有助益。
