Regain your health: Stop Eating Ultra-Processed Foods
And there is a simple fix
Are you tired of feeling sluggish and unhealthy? It's time to make a change! Say goodbye to ultra-processed foods and hello to a healthier you. Let's work together to regain your health and feel your best!
But first, let’s understand a few things about ultra-processed foods:
The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in the United States has reached an all-time high.
Over 50% of daily calories are consumed from UPFs with 73% of the food on grocery store shelves classified as such.
Researchers at Northwestern University found that 71% of packaged food sold in U.S. grocery stores is ultra-processed.
So, what are UPFs? Ultra-processed foods are primarily industrial concoctions composed entirely of substances derived from foods, such as fats, starches, sugars, proteins, and oils.
Increased consumption of UPFs is associated with higher risks of cardiovascular disease, overweight and obesity, depression, diabetes, cancer, and gastrointestinal diseases.
In addition, the production of UPFs contributes to unsustainable farming practices, industrial factory farming, mono-crop cultivation, all of which lead to more harmful emissions and runoff into our waterways.
A simple fix: BUY and CONSUME naturally grown, whole foods. Learn how to cook or bake your meals from scratch. Cut out the convenience and enjoy creating your own food from healthy ingredients.
