1. Soda Pop

Sodas are unhealthy. Luckily, there’re plenty of other drinks that are not harmful at all and that can perfectly replace your favorite soda if this is really your addiction. In spite of all the warnings coming from doctors and dietitians, people’s addiction to sodas is so severe, that nothing stops them from drinking this type of drinks. Why are sodas so harmful? Well, they, first of all, contain too much sugar. This causes obesity and diabetes. Sodas do not contain vitamins or minerals and do not provide your body with anything good. All they give is a huge amount of empty calories. After drinking a glass of soda you never feel full. On the contrary, they raise your blood sugar level which makes you feel hungry and you start craving more sugar. Finally, sodas increase stomach acid and you might feel pain.

2. Processed Meats

The list of processed foods that we can buy at any supermarket is surprisingly long. It includes all types of things people eat every day without even thinking how harmful they are. There you will see hot dogs, various sausages, bacon, lunch meats, for instance, pimento loaf and bologna. What makes all those processed meats so dangerous. The fact that cannot be denied is that manufacturers add too much salt and different chemicals. They make the product’s shelf life endless, but they definitely make your live shorter! People who consume more than 160 grams of processed meats increase the risk of early death. The study lasted for more than 12 years. During the experiment, experts proved that the risk of early death increases by 44% in comparison to those who do not eat more than 20 grams of processed meats a day.
