Smoothies are scientifically proven to be BAD for you…
I Thought Smoothies Were Healthy Until I Watched This
Who knew that your gut type could reveal so much about how you digest food, manage weight, and EVEN how you store energy?
Potential Drawbacks:
High sugar content:
Many smoothies, especially those with added sugars (like honey, maple syrup, or sweetened yogurt), can contribute to high sugar intake, potentially leading to weight gain, energy crashes, and blood sugar imbalances.
Can be calorie-dense:
Smoothies, particularly those with added fats (like nuts or seeds) or ice cream, can be high in calories, potentially leading to weight gain if not balanced with overall calorie intake.
Can be less satisfying than whole foods:
Liquid calories may not be as filling as solid foods, leading to increased overall calorie consumption.
May interfere with thyroid function:
Excessive consumption of cruciferous vegetables in green smoothies can interfere with iodine absorption and thyroid function.
Can erode tooth enamel:
The acids in fruits, especially when blended, can erode tooth enamel over time.
Not always a balanced meal:
Some smoothies may lack sufficient protein or healthy fats, making them less suitable as a meal replacement.
BUT… YES… SOME Smoothies CAN be good for you, you just have to know WHAT to put in them, AND, what to avoid… MOST smoothie chain businesses DO NOT pay attention to the ingredients and give you the BEST options!
