 5. Pears, apples, pineapple and grapefruit
Each of these four fruits affected in different ways in improving the functions of the digestive system.

Skip the sugar-free gum, especially if you decide to wear your swimsuit as her chewing can result in swallowing too much air, which in turn leads to bulging stomach. Another problem is that sugar substitutes used in the manufacture of these products can also irritate the stomach and cause some not very comfortable feeling.

Yes - margarine may not contain as many calories as butter, but in contrast, there are large amounts of trans fats that facilitate not only weight gain, but also the development of certain cardiovascular diseases.



 7. Semi pizza
Every happened to him late in cooking and so I call on the services of fast for "cooking" frozen pizza. Try, however, to limit this practice only in the winter months.
