Iced tea, colas other synthetic juices have been proven to have no benefits to our health. Alcohol drinks such as beer can make you fat and may damage your liver. Consuming this type of drinks can increase your chances of urinary tract infection (UTI), diabetes and stomach disorders.

5. Beef, seafoods and poultry products
Beef is considered as one of the best foods that man can enjoy. But it is also bad for your health because it has no fiber content. Red meats together with seafoods such as shrimps and crabs are the most unfavorable for health and considered to be one of the contributing factors for many diseases such as colorectal cancer, heart attack, digestive disorders, gallstones, kidney disorder, stroke, hypertension and many more.

Chicken however pose lesser health risks. The lean meat of chicken is not that harmful and considered health beneficial. The only thing to avoid in chicken dishes are its skin. Chicken skin contains twice the amount of cholesterol than the regular pork fats.

These foods should be avoided this holiday season. If you can’t resist, then lessen your consumption and try to make it up with healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, fishes and fiber rich foods the next day. Remember that living is worthless if you have a serious disease so watch out your food intake and prefer the safer foods for better health.
