7. Processed Meat (Bacon, Sausage, Ham)
Why avoid it?
Processed meats like bacon, sausage, and ham are commonly found in many breakfast dishes, but they are high in saturated fats and sodium. Saturated fats can raise cholesterol levels, while too much sodium can contribute to high blood pressure and water retention.
How do they affect you?
These processed meats are dense in unhealthy fats, which can make you feel bloated and uncomfortable, especially in the morning when your body is just starting to get going. The high salt content can also make you feel sluggish and dehydrated because it leads to water retention and a feeling of heaviness. Over time, eating processed meats regularly can contribute to serious health problems, including heart disease and high cholesterol.
