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.

7. Fruit Juice

Fruit juice is just that - fruit juice. On being converted from raw fruits to juice, precious fibre is lost and the sugar content per helping goes up. So you consume more sugar to feel full. Thus causing more harm than benefit to your body.

Not healthier than the real deal, no matter what you want to believe. In fact it makes your body retain more sugar because of the artificial sweeteners and causes serious weight gain.
