Processed foods are wreaking havoc on our health!
Every day it seems a new study shows how processed foods are wreaking havoc on our health.
The first thing you'll need to do is identify what a processed food is.
Let me make it simple. Anything that comes in a package or a box, a baked good, or a fast food is processed.
Processed foods are bad.
They are a major contributor to obesity and illness around the world.
How do we know? Every time a population adopts a Western diet high in processed foods, they get sick. Their genes don't change, their food does.
Eating well is all about fueling our bodies. Food is our fuel. Remember, if food is fuel then it needs to contain things the body needs.
When you look at an ingredient list that is a mile long, with words you can’t pronounce or don’t recognize, you probably shouldn’t be eating it.
Fresh fruits, vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, legumes, and whole grains don’t need an ingredient list. They are whole foods and that’s what Sunrider whole foods are made of.
Sunrider foods are packed with nutrition because they are concentrated. They are healthy and nutritious for children and adults. They contain no chemicals, fillers, artificial flavors, or stabilizers. Quality is a number one concern for Sunrider.
This is an example of a processed food, is a popular health bar, which is actually marketed as a low-carb friendly health food. I don't know what this is, but it most certainly isn't food.
The Sunrider SUNBAR is made with nature’s whole foods and has absolutely no preservatives, colorant, artificial flavors, or texturants! It is filled with nutrients including lots of good fiber. Processed foods are low in fiber.
Highly processed foods often contain:
• Preservatives: Chemicals that prevent the food from rotting.
• Colorants: Chemicals that are used to give the food a specific color.
• Flavor: Chemicals that give the food a particular flavor.
• Texturants: Chemicals that give a particular texture.
Keep in mind that processed foods can contain dozens of additional chemicals that aren't even listed on the label. For example, when it comes to "artificial flavors" manufacturers don't have to disclose exactly what it means and it is usually a combination of chemicals.
For this reason, if you see "artificial flavor" on an ingredients list, it could mean that there are 10 or more additional chemicals that are blended in to give a specific flavor.
Convenience Doesn’t Have to Kill You – especially when you have Sunrider whole foods. Convenience doesn’t have to mean ‘processed’.
When it comes to convenience food Sunrider is the most nutritious!
Processed foods are extremely low in essential nutrients compared to whole, unprocessed foods. In some cases, synthetic vitamins and minerals are added to the foods to compensate for what was lost during processing. However, synthetic nutrients are NOT a good replacement for the nutrients found in whole foods. They are isolated chemicals.
Many kids and adults are hooked on sugary cereals, sugary drinks or sodas, burgers, fries, or sweets. You can’t expect children to know what healthy foods are unless parents teach them. It’s up to the parents to know that processed foods have so dramatically changed over the years and that the level of processing and chemicals has increased exponentially.
Aren't we lucky to have convenient, nutritious Sunrider whole foods? I think so!
