The Foods You Should Consider Cutting from Your Diet According to Dr. Gundry
With so many popular foods available today, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype and consume them without considering the impact they could have on your health. Dr. Gundry, a renowned heart surgeon and best-selling author, has identified some essential foods you should consider cutting from your diet for better health outcomes.
Processed Foods – The Silent Killer
One of the main culprits Dr. Gundry advises avoiding is processed food. These are typically high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, which make them addictive and, in turn, increase the likelihood of overeating. Not only can processed foods lead to weight gain, but they have also been linked to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Processed foods are often convenient, readily available, and marketed well, making them difficult to avoid. However, Dr. Gundry states that it’s essential to read food labels carefully and opt for whole, natural foods instead.
Refined Carbohydrates – The Silent Killer’s Partner in Crime
Another food group that has been linked to weight gain and poor health outcomes is refined carbohydrates. Foods such as white bread, pasta, and rice often contain low levels of essential nutrients and fiber, making them calorie-dense but nutritionally poor.
According to Dr. Gundry, consuming a diet rich in refined carbohydrates can lead to an unhealthy gut microbiome, affecting your immune system, cognitive function, and hormonal balance.
Opting for complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is a better choice for your health. These foods are high in essential nutrients and fiber and help feed your gut microbiome, keeping it healthy and balanced.
Dairy – Not the Superfood You Thought It Was
Dairy products are often considered a great source of calcium and other essential nutrients. However, Dr. Gundry advises reconsidering your relationship with dairy.
He states dairy can be inflammatory and lead to migraines, sinus congestion, and gastrointestinal distress. Dairy is also high in hormones and may lead to imbalances in estrogen and testosterone.
Dr. Gundry suggests plant-based options such as almond or coconut milk if you are looking for dairy alternatives.
Sugar – The Not-So-Sweet Culprit
Sugar is one of the most addictive and unhealthy foods in the Western diet. It’s found in many food items, including processed snacks, soft drinks, and desserts.
Dr. Gundry has labeled sugar ‘The Not-So-Sweet Culprit’ due to its role in weight gain, obesity, diabetes, and other health complications. Sugar has also been linked to premature aging, increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease.
Dr. Gundry suggests trying natural alternatives like honey, maple syrup, or stevia if you want to cut out sugar.
Closing Thoughts
In sum, there are several popular foods that you should consider cutting from your diet for better health outcomes. Dr. Gundry advises against processed foods, refined carbohydrates, dairy, and sugar. He recommends opting for whole, natural foods rich in essential nutrients and fiber.
By making these changes to your diet, you can take control of your health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
