Forget about hashtag Fitfam and hashtag Vegan for a moment and read this article that exposes the vegetables that aren’t good for you. Trust me, you will learn a lot as not all education is wasted.
CORN
Corn has unfortunately been subjected to some crazy genetic modifications. Because of this, when we bite into an ear of corn, our bodies are introduced to proteins that we don’t know, which results in major sensitivities and could be why corn is such a common allergen.
PEAS
Peas, like potatoes and corn, are a really starchy and glycemic vegetable, which can lead to weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, and high hunger levels.
Potatoes
While potatoes do contain a lot of potassium and vitamin C, they are usually skinned (which removes fiber), fried, and covered in salt, virtually destroying any nutritional value. So, no, French fries don’t count as a vegetable, unfortunately.
Spinach
Spinach is usually considered one of the healthiest vegetables because it’s full of vitamins A and K and has anti-cancer properties, but when you buy conventional (non-organic) spinach, you’re at risk for exposure to almost 50 pesticides. Play it safe and splurge for organic in this case.
Canned Foods
Canned foods are full of excessive salt and flavor enhancers, which are a problem for digestion and can lead to stomach pains. They also have a great deal of Sodium which is very unhealthy for the body.
I hope you get to reconsider the vegetables you consume on a daily basis.
