Meridian, MS, May 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When it comes to optimal health and weight loss, just about every health website or diet professional agrees on one thing, stay away from processed foods! In fact, recent studies have shown that a diet high in processed foods may even shorten one’s life span. This might lead the average consumer to think about microwave meals like a Cup O’ Noodles or a Hot Pocket, but processed foods actually cover a wider spectrum than most people realize. In fact, most of us grew up on processed foods and have trouble distinguishing them from whole foods despite our best efforts, and if all processed food is bad, we might all be in serious trouble. Since most of the food we find in grocery stores have been processed in some way, let’s break down what processed food actually is, and what can be classified as bad or good.
Any product that is:
- Frozen
- Canned
- Bagged
- Baked
- Preserved
Is considered a processed item. In essence, a bag of lettuce can be considered a minimally processed item as are foods that were freshly canned such as tomatoes and olives. These products aren’t viewed as harmful and are pretty much in the clear. Heavier processed items are those which have added preservatives, colors, sodium, sweeteners and fillers to preserve taste, freshness, and appeal. They are sometimes fortified with additional vitamins and minerals. The list is endless for these items, but some common ones are:
- Canned seafood
- Cereals
- Canned vegetables/fruit
- Processed cheese
- Deli meats
- Pastries
- Sodas
- Microwave/Oven ready meals
- Snack foods (chips, popcorn, beef jerky)
- And many, many others.
It may seem nearly impossible to avoid processed foods in the average grocery store, and this doesn’t even include the food we consume at restaurants (especially fast food).
