10. Fast food
When you realize that many fast food restaurants are basically serving up warmed-over garbage, it becomes a lot easier to resist stopping for a quick burger and fries. Fast foods are, not surprisingly, formulated to provide the best flavor to keep customers coming back for more. Unfortunately, the ingredients that taste good seldom contribute to improved health. In fact, most of them are detrimental to your health, including high levels of sodium, MSG, sugar, and trans-fats. Add to that, things like food colorings, artificial sweeteners and preservatives and you end up with food that’s not only quick to prepare and serve, you also end up with a trip down the fast lane to an early grave.
