Summary of episode:
Recent report shows that diet-related deaths outrank deaths from smoking, and about half of U.S. deaths from heart disease - nearly 900 deaths a day - are linked to poor diet.
The pandemic highlighted the problem, with much worse outcomes for people with obesity and other diet-related diseases.
One important question to ask within food and your diet is- what value is this adding for me?
In today's episode we give you eight foods you should avoid in your diet.
Listed points:
1 (00:35) - Highly Processed Junk Foods
Chips, snacks, candy, etc Loaded with unhealthy fats (like trans fats), sugar, and artificial additives, which can contribute to obesity, heart disease diabetes, etc2 (04:41) - Alcohol
High blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and digestive problems3 (07:14) - Refined Carbs
White bread, pastries, white pasta, most baked goods Refined carbs are stripped of fiber and nutrients, leading to rapid spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels, which can increase your risk of developing diabetes and heart disease over time.4 (10:51) - Sugary drinks.
refined sugar. Starbucks drinks, pop, juices, & so much more weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay and cavities5 (13:46) - Fast food in general
fried chicken, fries, fatty burgers,fried fish sandwiches Most of it is just garbage, and the average person gets the most unhealthy as it’s more tempting While quick and easy, fast food is generally full of processed ingredients, unhealthy fats, high sodium, and very little in terms of essential nutrients. It's designed for convenience but not for health.6 (16:05) - Frozen and instant meals
Examples- Frozen pizza, TV dinners, instant ramen noodles
Reason- very little nutritional value, loaded with refined grains, unhealthy fats, and high sodium content. Even though they’re convenient, they’re not doing anything for your body in terms of real nourishment.
Of course, it's all about balance—no need to completely eliminate any one food, but understanding what can be harmful in excess is key to making healthier choices.

Summary of episode: In today’s episode we are going to share the most dangerous exercises in the gym. We also share whether you should avoid them or try alternate solutions to make sure you stay injury free.
