Putting a fulls stop to the processed food is the key to a healthy sustainable life. The minute I realise that, I stopped it. Yes completely stopped it and only having natural food.
When I start I had couple of questions where I needed clear answers to figure out what I can eat and what I can’t. Dr John Green (
Vegan Doctor) helped me lot giving me the correct information.
What are Processed food?
“Food processing is the set of methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food or to transform food into other forms for consumption by humans or animals either in the home or by the food processing industry.” -
Wikipedia -
Output of any food processing method is called processed food. In another words If it's boxed, bagged, canned or jarred and has a list of ingredients on the label, it's processed. These are the type of processed food we will pay bit more attentions.
Are all the processed food bad for your health?
Not all the processed food is bad for your health. Cooked food, Blended food, Sun dried food or any other naturally processed food are not harmful. However, some food processing methods such as boiling, cooking, sun drying may destroy some essential nutrients. Therefore, it is important to add some raw food to your menu as well.
Then what are the bad processed food?
99.9% of the canned, tinned, boxed, bottled or packed products you find in super market are bad processed food. That is not a good answer. Here is the guide line that will help you to differentiate unhealthy processed food from healthy.
If product ingredients include added salt, sugar, fat or any artificial colouring, sweetener or any artificial ingredient that sounds chemistry, it is a bad for your health.
Always check for the ingredients. Nutritional Information is not really important as it will never tell you how bad the food product is. This is a big mistake most of us will do.
Now you know how to identify healthy food from bad processed food. Remove all the bad processed food from your life. If I did it in one day you can do it.
Enjoy the power of a healthy diet.!!!
