Summary:
1. French fries
Professionals will go on all day about how French fries are loaded with salt and can make your blood pressure skyrocket. But do you realize what this famous fast food side is doing to the inside of your gut?
2. Pizza
Okay, this is going to be a controversial one. Perhaps the most troublesome of all of our picks on this list. Afterall, an estimated 3 billion pizzas are sold in the U.S. each year. Heck, 1.5 million are said to be eaten on Superbowl Sunday alone! I hate to rain on your parade, but too much pizza is terrible for your stomach.
3. Watermelon
While watermelon is definitely among the most delicious summer snacks, your stomach thinks differently. Have you ever heard of fructose? Fructose is a natural sugar that doesn’t fully absorb into your digestive system. When too much is had, something occurs known as fructose malabsorption. This can lead to bloating, gas and abdominal pain. Not to mention possible fatigue and vomiting.
4. Beer
Put the drink down! Now! I’m kidding, you don’t need to stop drinking beer that urgently. Just know that the beverage has some pretty negative effects on your stomach. The average bottle of Corona carries with it 148 calories, while a Budweiser has as many as 200. These beers can carry a minimum of 13g of carbohydrates.
5. Ice Cream
To put it simply, ice cream has lactose. Did you know lactose intolerance effects between 30 and 50 million Americans? While we’ve all heard of this “lactose intolerance”, many aren’t educated as to what lactose actually is? Lactose is a distinct sugar that is only found in dairy products, and it can be really harmful to your stomach. Similar to beer, if all your consuming is ice cream, your stomach may begin to bloat. But that’s not it. Dairy products in general are known to have significant effects on your gut’s microorganisms.
6. Chips
Like French fries, potato chips are another salty side you can easily lose track of. The average bag of chips contains 274 calories along with 24 g of carbs and 262 mg of sodium. And that’s just regular potato flavour. Think about all the other garbage you’re putting into your stomach when eating salt and vinegar or barbeque!
7. Eggs
This popular breakfast choice is one that may be hard to shake for many of you. It certainly is for me. While eggs straight from the chicken may not be harmful, farm-raised eggs are a different story. These eggs may not be equipped with the proper antibiotics known to be found in regular eggs.
8. Corn
At this point, you’re probably thinking, “Hey, corn is delicious and healthy for you. How can it possibly cause harm to your stomach?” Well corn is a vegetable, so obviously there are going to be benefits. The problem is that corn contains cellulose, an organic compound found in plants that may not digest if it isn’t properly chewed before swallowing.
