They say that dark calories are found in those foods that make us tired. Even though it may seem that makeup can hide bad moods and feelings, you actually can't hide it. Dark calories are those that make you irritable and in a bad mood. If you get caught in such a mood already in the morning, it'll be hard to get rid of a bad start. So the best recipe is to avoid at least these five things:

1. Salt
Although we definitely need salt in food, lately we are overdoing it with the amount. Salt dries out your skin, which makes you feel tired. Therefore, you should choose foods with low sodium content, or even better, use spices instead of salt when you cook. Spices, besides giving richer flavor, have hundreds of other beneficial effects on our health.

2. Artificial sweeteners
Sugar is dangerous, but artificial sweeteners are even more so. The reason is overuse! Artificial sweeteners have become so popular and common in recent years that it's hard to avoid them. On top of that, they make us bloated and puffy, which further worsens our appearance. That's why it's much better to choose things with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Natural sugar is still best, but even that shouldn't be overused.

3. Alcohol
Alcohol dehydrates the body and absorbs the glow left on your skin. The only solution is to drink a lot of water. Even the next day!

4. Fried foods
Everything fried has a very bad impact on the appearance of your skin. Fried food is full of oils and unsaturated fats, which means it clogs your arteries — and that's the main reason you look tired, irritated and low on energy. Besides that, fried food also makes you gain weight and causes a bunch of other problems. The only solution is to not eat fried food.

5. Frozen processed meat
There's nothing worse than frozen preservatives. These dangers are most often found in sausages and bacon, and of course in ground meat. The only solution is to avoid eating meat and meat products.
