8. Cakes and pastries
It is a common knowledge that pastries and other snack items are full of sugar, gluten, saturated fats and preservatives. The lethal combination of white flour and sugar causes inflammation which interferes with the insulin’s ability to function properly, thus spiking the levels of sugar in your blood. They also contain trans-fat which is responsible for causing heart problems and increases blood cholesterol. So next time, don’t stop to have a snack at the vending machine. Your body (and your wallet) will thank you for it.
