Cooked red meat

Red Meat: Why You Should Know How to Limit Yourself
Steaks, lamb chops, and pork roasts are among the foods classified as "probably carcinogenic" by health authorities. The danger increases particularly when cooked at high temperatures. Nutritionists recommend not exceeding 3 to 4 servings per week to maintain your health.

Ultra-processed foods: the false good solution
Ready meals, industrial biscuits, and breakfast cereals seem convenient on a daily basis. However, their alarming composition—excess sugar, refined salt, and various additives—makes them enemies of our well-being. Their regular consumption disrupts our metabolism and could contribute to the development of serious pathologies.

Aggressive Cooking: The Trap of Grilled Flavors
Charred meats on the barbecue or golden fries release toxic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons under the effect of intense heat. These substances, known to be carcinogenic, are formed when food browns excessively during cooking.

 

Processed Sugars: The Little-Known Impact on Our Health
Sodas, processed pastries, and refined grains cause repeated blood sugar spikes. This phenomenon not only promotes weight gain and diabetes, but also creates a breeding ground for uncontrolled cell growth.

Alcohol: The Risk Even in Small Doses
Contrary to popular belief, it is not occasional drunkenness but regular consumption, even moderate, that poses a problem. Ethanol transforms into acetaldehyde in the body, a substance directly implicated in several types of cancer.

Dairy Products: Beware of Excess
Cheese, yogurt, and condensed milk contain growth factors that can stimulate certain cancer cells, particularly in the prostate. One to two servings a day are more than enough to safely benefit from their benefits.

Balanced diet

 

Excess Salt: A Threat to Our Digestive System
Overly salty foods like chips, crackers, or canned goods gradually attack the gastric mucosa. Over time, this chemical attack can lead to particularly worrying precancerous lesions.
