Nitrates

Processed meat in the market is filled with nitrate. Hot dogs, lunch box ham and processed meat can cause low moods, headaches, bloating and pains in the joints. Meats that are also filled with sodium can cause stomach cramps. Instant foods or packaged foods usually contain nitrate. Foods that are easy and fast to make are unavoidable because of our busy schedules but always consume in moderation. And if you have the time always opt for fresh. Opt for fresh cut meats and avoid meats that are full of preservatives.

Sweets

Delicious sweets like cookies, cakes, pastries and candies are delicious and can help boost energy, but eating too much can give you a sugar crash. Sweets can give you a fast boost of energy, but it will not last unlike foods that are filled with protein. Sweets can cause bad moods and sugar cravings. Sweets can release serotonin in the brain.
