Eat Whole Foods
Whole Foods have not been processed or refined, making them free of additives and other artificial substances. Examples of such foods include legumes, fruits, whole grains, meat, and vegetables [6].
At the end of the spectrum are ultra-processed foods. These are prepared foods that contain sugar, salt, fat and additives in the combination to make it taste delicious. Which makes it hard to moderate your intake of these foods.
Examples of ultra-processed foods are soft drinks, chips, sugary cereals and fast food. About 90% of added sugars in the average American’s diet come from ultra-processed foods, whereas only 8.7% come from foods prepared from scratch at home using Whole Foods.
