Coming to the most unhealthy foods in the world is a long and never-ending list. Most diseases and conditions like obesity and fatty liver, can be caused by whatever you are eating and drinking and you may not be aware of it's harmful effects.

Most of the time, when we buy drinks or packed food, we can see the nutrition labels, but we do not know what the details mean, and therefore we cannot understand the damage these unhealthy foods can do to us.

Unhealthy foods can cause serious issues, resulting in people suffering from various sicknesses. It is therefore important to make people aware of what they are eating, and why they should stop.

Pizza is extremely high in calories and there is a lot of processed meat used in making it. The cheese and the other toppings make it delicious but it is severely unhealthy and can cause diabetes, obesity, and several other diseases when consumed daily or in excess. If you love pizza, eat a slice and leave the rest for your family and friends. Share the pizza and stay healthy and fit.


2. Sports drink

Several sports drink companies like Gatorade or Prime, sell their products and advertise them to be healthy, and kids and regular people consume them as a result. It has a lot of electrolytes and can be used by athletes to rehydrate themselves, but the population does not understand that and consumes these for fun which is not suitable. They contain a lot of sugar and can be the reason why you have obesity or heart problems.


3. Ramen noodles

Ramen has a lot of fats, high sodium, and unhealthy preservatives, which includes it in the list of the most unhealthy foods in the world. We often consume Buldak ramen or our favorite Korean noodles as they are our comfort food but this comfort food can lead to discomfort in the body when consumed in excess or regularly. Have it twice or thrice in four months to be on the safer side.


4. Soda

Who does not like popping a can of Coke? Did you know that soda can cause damage to your body, as it contains a whole lot of sugar and has no other nutrients that can benefit you? So having soda is like drinking a sugary drink which can cause diabetes and obesity. Therefore rather than drinking soda or Diet Coke, you can drink water to stay hydrated and safe.


5. French fries

French fries are high in salt, fats, and calories and chefs usually add a lot of mayonnaise or sauces to these fries for better taste, which makes them more unhealthy. French fries are addictive, as they are not so filling and you usually tend to binge on them, while watching a movie or hearing music, without even realizing the harm that is caused to your body, by the oil and other materials used in making these fries.


6. Processed meats

Consuming processed meats is linked to several heart diseases and cancer, yet we still consume them for taste. These are made from leftover animal parts, which is firstly unhealthy, and on top of that, a lot of preservatives are added to preserve this meat for a longer shelf life. This brings it to the list of most unhealthy foods in the world.

Summers are knocking at the door and you must be thinking of something special to beat the heat. Did you know how much sweets, artificial flavoring, and color are used in making ice creams? If you are suffering from diabetes, the doctor will advise you to cut down on your sugar intake, which will also include ice creams, but you can choose to have sugar-free or natural ones or make your cold treat at home.


8. Butter

If you are adding butter to your breakfast toast or cooking with butter, then it is time to stop immediately, as it contains a lot of saturated fats and is also very high in calories, which can be the reason for your next heart attack or obesity. Use fat-free versions of butter like nutralite, but consume that too in moderation as an excess of nothing is better.


If you are someone who loves to eat fast food all the time, try to switch to healthier alternatives. So next time you are consuming something, check the nutrient label on it.
