10 Foods and Drinks to Avoid When Working Out

7. Dried fruit

A surprising addition to the list, and one we thought would be a very health snack! Unfortunately, dried fruit, with the water removed contains added sulfur and sugars to prolong the shelf life. You can eat a large amount of dried fruit without feeling full, as the lack of water makes our bodies digest the fruits differently, leading to a large and unhealthy intake of sugars and insoluble fibers. This can have a detrimental impact on the glucose levels in your blood.

The best thing to do is to stick to regular off the shelf fruit, sure it may go bad quicker but it’s a healthier snack than it’s dry counterpart.
