What are Ultra Processed Foods List + Impact on Your Health

Updated November 22, 2021 by Rich

The BMJ Open medical journal ¹ is finally reporting on something that I and many others have discovered through trial and error.
You can eat your way to better health.
You can eat your way to a leaner body.
That’s right, you can actually eat, you do not have to starve.
The trick is through what you eat and the quality of the food that you eat.
Just eat real food and you will be on your way to better health.
For many of us though, having grown up in an industrial society, we are not sure what real foods are since we have spent our lives eating industrial and ultra processed foods.
The tragedy is that the obesity epidemic is easily avoidable by eating real foods found in nature such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, meat, fish, and eggs.
The less processed the better.
In addition, quality means avoiding foods that have been injected with hormones, antibiotics, and/or sprayed with pesticides.
Real food is the best alternative to weight loss surgery.

What’s wrong with the American diet? More than half our calories come from ultra processed foods

by Karen Kaplan Contact Reporter 

Researchers who have analyzed America’s eating habits say they can sum up what’s wrong with our diet in just two words: ultra-processed foods.

What are Some Ultra Processed Foods List?

These foods — a group that includes frozen pizzas, breakfast cereals, and soda — make up 58% of all calories Americans consume in a typical day. Not only that, they delivered 90% of the added sugars that Americans ate and drank, according to a study published Wednesday in the medical journal BMJ Open.

Government health experts advise Americans to get no more than 10% of their total calories in the form of added sugars. But most of us aren’t listening. Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that 71% of American adults exceeded that 10% goal and that added sugars accounted for 15% of all the calories they consumed.

All of that added sugar makes people more likely to be overweight or obese. That, in turn, sets them up for serious health problems like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer (not to mention lots of cavities).

What are Ultra Processed Foods List – Final Thoughts

Chronic Dieting is a national obsession because people are trying to outsmart nature and that cannot happen. Your body needs real food and as long as you keep pushing processed foods instead, your body will rebel and require a constant flow of new diets to take off the pounds.

Curing the obesity epidemic is simple.

Eat real food.

Walk.

Sleep.

That’s it.

Whether you have 10 pounds to lose or 100 pounds to lose, the solution is the same.

You will be shocked at how fast your body will respond to having real nourishing foods.

Here are three simple tips:

1. At every meal, make sure that you include a fresh piece of fruit, at least one raw vegetable, and healthy fat like some nuts.

2. Walk at least 30 minutes a day.

3. Get 7 – 8 hours of sleep.

You will be on your way to better health!
