The 3 Best Proteins You Can Eat To Lower High Cholesterol

Your gut health plays a huge role in how you feel physically and mentally. So making sure you are avoiding foods that upset it is vital. Here are five foods that are awful for your gut microbiome and you should try to avoid at all costs: 1. Ultra-processed Foods High intake of ultra-processed foods, like chicken nuggets, bread, cereal, and crisps, can alter the gut microbiome and cause inflammation. 2. Deep-fried Foods The oil used in deep-frying is highly damaged and rich in omega-6, which can disrupt the gut. 3. Sugar Sugar is fuel for bad microbes in the gut and has no nutritional benefit. We use nutrients just to break down sugar. 4. Artificial Sweeteners Artificial sweeteners boost “bad” bacteria in the gut and are tough to break down as they are made of man-made chemicals. 5. Protein Bars & Shakes Protein supplements are highly processed and filled with additives and artificial sweeteners.
