1. Instant noodles

The reason instant noodles was picked at the top of the list is that it is one of the most sold unhealthy packed food. The reason instant noodles is unhealthy because it contains maida, flavor enhancers, color and it is very high in sodium.

 

2. Fruit Juice (packed/processed)

Most of the fruit juices contains excessive amount of sugar in it which makes it super unhealthy. Also, when you extract juice of any fruit it loses its fiber content. Eating whole fruit is always the best healthy option. Instead of juice one should eat whole fruit.

 

3. Coke/Pepsi

First of all it contains huge amount of sugar, then soda is also not good for bone health.

 

4. Deep fried snacks

Major nutrient your body gets from deep fried snacks such as samosa or pakora is unhealthy fat. If you eat it roadside, then they will use same oil again and again for frying samosa or pakoras so it becomes even unhealthier since oil loses its entire nutrient.

 

5. Momos

Even though momos are not fried or sauted it is not healthy because its maida (refined flour). But if it would have been made with whole wheat flour, it could have been still very healthy. Maida is nothing but empty calories. It is made by stripping all the good things away from the whole wheat.

 

 

6. Biscuits

Biscuits are nothing but maida and sugar. It is just empty calories. There is no home in India where you couldn’t find biscuits. So, knowingly or unknowingly we eat sugar every day in the form of biscuits. You can replace biscuits with roti or paratha. I know there are many brands selling sugar free biscuits but these biscuits are very costly and are very low in other nutrition, so choice is yours.

 

7. Junk Food – Burger/Pizza

Now a day burger has become a staple food for youth. The reason it is unhealthy is that not only burger bun is made up of Maida, the chicken patty in it is deep fried plus it contains cheese, mayo and lots of sodium. Also, Pizza is a big brother of burger. Pizza is also all maida, cheese, butter, salt and miniscule amount of veggies.

 

However, it is okay if you eat these foods in moderation i.e. once in a week or fortnight.
