Foods You Think Are Bad but Actually Are Surprisingly Good for You

A lot of foods have a bad rep, but that’s due to the misinformation delivered around them. Moderation is the key to everything, and when properly portioned, these supposedly “bad” foods can be a wholesome addition to your diet.

1. Full fat milk
Whole milk isn’t too fatty – others may think they’re going the virtuous route with skim, but full fat milk consumers have no higher risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than low fat consumers. Whole milk drinkers actually had an overall lower obesity rate!

2. Red Wine
Not all alcohol is bad sugars – this miracle drink is filled with resveratrol, and antioxidant which has been linked to upping levels of your good cholesterol.

3. Bread
Carbs have been a forbidden delight forever that we deprive ourselves of, but apparently, they’re not all bad, and complex ones like whole wheat can up vitamins, iron and magnesium levels.

4. Red Meat
Too much red meat will make cholesterol go through the roof. A small amount will ensure you get your fair of iron, zinc, selenium and vitamins which can only be received through red meat – unprocessed of course.
