1. Hamburger

A juicy burger can be an enticing treat for a quick lunch or casual

dinner, and you can find a fast-food burger on what seems like every street
corner. Despite their deliciousness, however, burgers can contribute to
weight gain and have other harmful effects on your health. The healthiest
approach is to save burgers for occasional treats and instead select more
nutritious alternatives.
Watch for Weight Gain
You will gain weight if you consume more calories than you
expend, and burgers can be high-calorie foods. A double hamburger with
mayonnaise contains 942 calories, and your meal can be even higher in
calories if you order onion rings or french fries, with 480 calories per large
order, and a regular soft drink. A single-patty hamburger without mayo fits
better into a diet for weight control, since it has only 232 calories. Another
way to limit the calories in your burger is to skip the bun.
Guard Your Heart Health
Burgers can be high in dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. Dietary
cholesterol and saturated fat can raise levels of cholesterol in your blood
and increase your risk for heart disease. A double hamburger with mayo
contains 22 grams of saturated fat, or 108 percent of the daily value, and
172 milligrams of cholesterol, or 57 percent of the daily value based on a
 2,000-calorie diet. Reduce your consumption by choosing a single-patty
burger without mayo, which has 4 grams of saturated fat and 26
milligrams of cholesterol. Cholesterol is only in animal-based foods, and a
vegetarian burger is cholesterol-free.
Burgers and Blood Pressure
Burgers can be high in sodium, with a double hamburger with
mayo containing 1,081 milligrams. A small one-patty burger without
mayo has only 258 milligrams of sodium. A high-sodium diet can lead to
high blood pressure and an increased risk for heart disease, stroke and
kidney disease. Healthy adults should consume no more than 2,300
milligrams of sodium per day. Limit your sodium consumption by
avoiding salty condiments, such as pickle relish, which has 164 milligrams
of sodium per tablespoon.
Other Considerations
Burgers can displace healthier foods in your diet, and selecting
burgers instead of more nutritious options can lead to poorer overall diet
quality. A common healthier lunch option at fast-food restaurants is a
green salad with skinless grilled chicken and pecans, almonds or walnuts.
If you do order a burger, choose the smallest option and order a side salad
or fresh fruit cup on the side instead of french fries or another fried item.
2. Coffee
 Coffee is a drink made from coffee beans, which are the roasted
fruit of the Coffea arabica bush.
People most commonly drink coffee to relieve mental and physical
fatigue and to increase mental alertness. Coffee is also used to prevent
Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, dementia, and cognitive decline. It
is also used to prevent gallstones, gout, type 2 diabetes, and certain types
of cancer.
Rectally, coffee is used as an enema to treat cancer. Coffee enemas
are used as a part of the "Gerson Therapy." In the Gerson Therapy, cancer
patients are treated with caffeinated coffee in the form of enemas every
four hours on a daily basis. During the treatment people are given a diet of
liver, vegetables, and a variety of other supplements. This type of therapy
is considered an unacceptable medical practice in the U.S.
Coffee contains caffeine. Caffeine works by stimulating the central
nervous system (CNS), heart, and muscles. Coffee also contains other
chemicals that might have other benefits.
3. Vegan Food

Becoming a vegan requires you to make drastic changes to your

diet. You have to eliminate anything of animal origin, which includes
meat, seafood, cheese, milk, eggs, fish and gelatin. Vegan diets are
naturally low in saturated and trans fats, reducing your risk of developing
heart disease and related complications. However, vegan diets limit some
of the nutrients your body needs on a daily basis and affect your system's
ability to absorb nutrients efficiently. Before making any major changes to
your diet, talk with your physician about your health concerns.
Weight Loss
You may unintentionally experience weight loss by switching to a
strict vegan diet, since many fruits, vegetables, legumes and other plant
foods are low in calories. It takes a deficit of 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound
of body weight. As an example, if your vegan diet cuts 250 calories from
your daily intake, you may unknowingly lose more than 2 pounds per
month. Add nuts, avocados and coconut milk to your diet. These vegan-
friendly foods provide fat to ensure that you do not consume too few
calories.
Insufficient Protein Sources
Proteins can either be complete or incomplete. Complete proteins
provide all of the nearly two dozen types of amino acids your body needs.
Animal-based foods and seafood provide complete proteins, but your
vegan diet does not allow you to include these foods. Plant foods,
including legumes, beans, brown rice, tofu and nuts, are rich in protein,
but they are incomplete protein sources, missing one or more of the
essential amino acids.
To get the essential amino acids your body requires on a vegan
diet, eat a variety of different plant proteins throughout the day. For
example, if you have scrambled silken tofu at breakfast, opt for cooked
lentils on top of your salad at lunch. At dinner, have a side of black beans
and brown rice. Filling your diet with many types of plant proteins ensures
you meet your body's requirements for amino acids.
Digestive Issues
A sudden increase in plant-based foods greatly increases your fiber
intake. While your body needs fiber for normal digestion, too much in a
small amount of time can wreak havoc on your digestive tract. You may
experience uncomfortable gas, bloating, diarrhea or possibly constipation.
Minimize these problems by slowly upping your fiber intake until you
reach the recommended 14 grams per 1,000 calories in your diet.
If you follow an 1,800-calorie diet, you need about 25 grams of
daily fiber, but most Americans only consume 15 grams. Include one or
two extra servings of fibrous plant foods in your daily diet and continue to
add more, as tolerated, until your body fully adjusts to a vegan diet. In
addition, fiber needs water to function, so it is essential to stay hydrated
throughout the day to minimize digestive distress.
Poor Nutrient Absorption
Plant-based vitamins and minerals are not always as easy for your
body to absorb as nutrients from animal foods. Your body absorbs as
much as 35 percent of iron originating from animal sources, which is
called heme iron. Plant-based iron, which is called non-heme iron, has
poor bioavailability. Your system only absorbs 2 to 20 percent of the
nonheme iron you get from spinach, soybeans, lentils and beans, according
to the Office of Dietary Supplements.
Upping your vitamin C intake by consuming more strawberries,
broccoli and citrus fruits helps non-heme iron absorb to its maximum
potential. Calcium from plant sources also has poor bioavailability.
Spinach, broccoli and kale are rich in calcium, but these foods have food
components that inhibit some of the calcium absorption. Since some
micronutrients from plant-based foods are hard for your body to utilize,
your doctor may suggest taking certain supplements to further increase
your vitamin and mineral intake while following a vegan diet.
