Many Americans rely heavily on ultra-processed foods, which make up 60% of the average diet, posing potential health risks.
Ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, are industrially manufactured items like chips, packaged cookies, and sugary drinks that are high in added sugar and sodium. These foods often contain a long list of chemical ingredients and pack a lot of calories into small servings, making them easy to overeat. This can lead to weight gain and an increased risk of diabetes.
Canned fish such as tuna, salmon and sardines are budget-friendly options that provide protein. Pre-cooked soups and whole grains can also save time in the kitchen, but it’s important to check their sodium content.
By reducing the intake of sugary sodas and energy drinks, individuals can significantly improve their overall health. Finding a balance between enjoying life and maintaining a healthy diet is key.
