What we should not avoid consuming in daily foods ?

I was not sure, quite, what you were asking here based on the wording of the question. However, my guess is that you want to know what we should avoid eating in foods?

Well, that's a loaded question, and one that requires a lot more information from you, such as what your health is curently (like, do you have diabetes, are you obese, do you have food allergies or sensitivities, and much more). However, there are some common ideas about "healthy" food that can offer a general starting place if you are new to considering what is healthy.

As a rule of thumb, most Americans today subscribe to the ideas that: restricting sugar is a step toward better health. You can avoid sugar by reading labels and learning some key words for sugar, such as corn syrup, rice syrup, and so much more. Secondly, most can agree that additives in processed foods are unhealthy. These chemicals are often added to preserve food for longer shelf life, or to add flavor that is addictive so that people will buy more, and other reasons. Thirdly, many Americans agree that "whole foods" are best, as they are "cleaner" because they have not been processed. So, a whole food is something you eat that has not been changed much (if at all) from its "original" form. So, like, an apple has been picked from the tree, and that is whole food, rather than apple sauce, which has been modified from its original state (although, some may also say that if nothing is added to the applesauce, then it remains a whole food...you can see how the definition can become complicated quickly).

After these basics, things get increasingly complex. Some people believe that "healthy" diet means no refined carbohydrates, such as pasta and bread, while others feel as if whole grains (such as whole wheat bread or whole wheat pasta) are extremely healthy. That is just one example of how the ideas of what one should consume can escalate into touchy territory.

If you are curious about what to eat, I encourage you to become an explorer, driven by curiousity. Pick up a few book on nutrition from the library, and get a variety of texts centered on different ways of thinking about diet, from fasting to nourishing traditions, to veganism, to whole foods, to the FDA and beyond. You'll see how many ways Americans think about "health," and it will blow your mind.
