Every diet these days seems to revolve around the so-called superfoods – food that’s so filled with nutrients and lovely things that they’re generally considered to be a huge boon to your health. But this planet wouldn’t be what it is if even superfoods reached a point where they became dangerous though.
Let’s take a look at some superfoods you should only eat in moderation. I mean, it’s probably fine if you don’t go completely overboard with it, but consider yourself warned anyway.
Salmon
Salmon is actually a blood thinner and boosts mercury levels in your blood. So despite salmon being one of the best sources for protein, it’s not entirely without risk. And if you’re eating farmed salmon instead of wild salmon, you actually run a bigger risk of obesity because of the awful quality of the farm water.
Hummus
While homemade hummus is perfectly fine, the store-bought version can contribute to various illnesses you don’t really want, as they usually pop ingredients in there that aren’t really that good for your body. Think sodium and preservatives, for example.
Avocado
You were hoping this wouldn’t be on the list, would you? But we all kind of knew this was coming – the only thing avocado doesn’t have going for it is its high fat count. Eating a lot of avocado will therefore increase fat buildup in your body.
