The foods mentioned by Harmony Allison and Rizwana Choudhury can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and increase the risk of diseases such as cancer.

Maintaining a good diet requires knowledge, as some foods can endanger your health and, therefore, should be avoided at all costs. In order to help individuals live a healthier life, specialists in the prevention and treatment of digestive diseases have revealed six foods that should be eliminated from the menu today. Some of them, believe me, will surprise you.

In an interview with the British portal daily MailGastroenterologists Harmony Allison and Rizwana Choudhury list foods that can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as processed meats, fried chicken, and soft drinks.

However, there are two foods that have been listed by experts that are, to say the least, curious: protein bars and steak.

“I never eat protein bars. They tend to be highly processed and contain many additives of unknown origin. It is much better to get your protein from another food source,” recommended Harmony.

According to the expert, nuts, milk, pumpkin seeds and peanut butter are food items rich in protein that can replace the popular bars widely used by athletes.

When it comes to steak, Rizwana recommends avoiding the food altogether. “Red meat and processed meat increase your risk of colon cancer and polyps. If you are going to eat these foods, the most important thing to do is reduce the amount.”

Then the gastroenterologist added: “Try not to eat more than 100 grams of red meat per day, and it is best not to eat more than once a week.”

Other foods to avoid

Many doctors prohibit carbonated drinks. Gastroenterologist Simon Matthews is no exception.

And the specialist warned that “these drinks are linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease,” as the specialist warned in an interview with the English media, pointing out that “reflux” still contributes to bloating, reflux, and gas.

Finally, you should also avoid consuming white bread, according to professionals. The reason for this is that the granules of this type of pasta are harmful to the intestines.
