Our monotonous lives are an invitation to several physiological problems. Obesity clearly tops this list and thus merits a lot of our attention. Physical activity and healthy eating require a lot of efforts so we reach out to shortcuts. We try and try to keep ourselves fit and pay heed to all the advice that pours in from all sectors which is misleading more often than not.

5. Salads

Yes, there are certain salads which are healthy. But just affixing salad to a dish doesn't make it healthy. And some of the salads pack more calories than your daily requirements.

6. Muesli

You'll be surprised to know that the muesli you've been stocking up thinking its healthy, is actually not. It scores high on the sugar and calory meter. But it is definitely better than other cereals which are much more fattening like cornflakes or granola.
