Processed Meats with Nitrates/Nitrites
Steering clear of processed meats like ham, salami, and bacon might be wise, given their unhealthy fat content and excessive sodium. I know this might sound to you like a very challenging quest, considering how handy they can be in whipping up a sandwich. But, considering the fact that they often contain more sodium and are packed with preservatives like nitrites and nitrates, which have been associated with various cancers. Opt for processed meats that do not contain these additives to minimize health risks. [4]
