Things To Avoid In Your Diet: How To Stay Healthy Always

A lot of people believe that there are many kinds of foods that will hurt them or that they should not eat when they are sick. They may think of some kind daily of foods as "hot" and others as "cold", and not permit "hot" foods for hot sicknesses or "cold" foods for cold sicknesses. Or they may believe that many different foods are bad for a mother with a newborn child. Some of these beliefs are reasonable but others do more harm than good. Often the foods people think they should avoid when they are sick are the very foods they need to get well.

A sick person has even greater need for body-building foods than a healthy person. We should worry less about foods that might harm a sick person and think more about the foods that will make him healthy -- for example, fruits, vegetables, nuts, cereals etc. As a general rule.

The Same Foods That Are Good For Us When We Are Healthy Are Good For Us When We Are Sick.

Also the foods that harm us when we are healthy do us even more harm when we are sick. Avoid these things:

• Alcohol
• Tobacco
• Too much pepper and spices
• A lot of sugar and sweets
• Too much oil in foods
• Too much coffee
• Too much meat.

ALCOHOL causes or makes worse diseases of the liver, stomach and nerves. It also  causes social problems.

SMOKING can cause chronic (long-term) coughing or lung cancer and other problems. Smoking is especially bad for people with lung diseases like tuberculosis, asthma and bronchitis.

TOO MUCH GREASY FOODS, HOT SPICES OR COFFEE can cause stomach ulcers and other problems of the digestive tract.

TOO MUCH SUGAR AND SWEETS spoils the appetite, rot the teeth, can cause heart problems and may be part of the cause of intestinal  cancer. However, some sugar may help give needed energy to a very sick person (Hypoglycemic condition) (READ MORE ON THE EFFECTS OF SUGAR HERE)

A few diseases require not eating certain other foods, for example, people with high blood pressure, certain heart problems, or swollen feet's should use little or no salt. Too much salt is not good for anyone. Stomach ulcers and diabetes also require special diets.
