First Episode of 2025: Understanding Ultra-Processed Foods and Their Impact on Health


Welcome to the inaugural episode of 2025! This week, we dive into the world of ultra-processed foods, exploring their negative health implications and the NOVA food classification system, which categorizes foods into groups from one to four based on processing levels. We’ll discuss how ultra-processed foods can lead to overeating, resulting in serious obesity-related health issues, including type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.


Recognizing and understanding group four ultra-processed foods is crucial for becoming an informed consumer and making healthier shopping choices.


In addition, we’ll touch on the health benefits of sauna and cold plunging.  Join us as we welcome Jim Murphy, a golf professional from Texas, who shares his personal experience with cold plunging and its effects on his health. 


Tune into "Your Health First," our weekly radio broadcast, every Sunday evening from 7 to 8 PM Central Time. You can listen to us on iHeart 740 KTRH or stream us globally on the iHeartRadio app.
