Is processed food bad for you?

You’ll be happy to hear… Not necessarily!  

Not ALL processed food is bad for you!

And as we all know, processed food is nearly impossible to avoid in today’s society… 

It’s actually ULTRA-PROCESSED food that is truly detrimental to our health. 

So, let me explain the difference! 

Processed food is anything that has undergone a change before it is sold. Food is considered processed if it has been changed in some way (dried, canned, smoked, pasteurized, etc.). 

Ultra-processed food changes the food by manipulating it to include additives, sugar, preservatives, artificial flavors, and colors.

And remember! Ultra-processed food can lead to chronic disease development over time like obesity, hypertension (high blood pressure), Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol/triglycerides), Diabetes, etc.

So, as I always say, enjoy it, but keep it balanced y'all!
