The
supermarkets, food stalls, grocery shops etc are today founded to be packed
with processed food items which are being claimed to be the healthiest and the
best for consumption. But before picking those blindly, it is necessary that
you must know whether those are actually good for your health and whether you
should stuff your shopping bag with such ready to eat and yummy looking things.
There is no
doubt that the processed foods are bacteria free and can be kept stored for
longer time to be immediately eaten and cooked later, but is this process
really healthy for the body? The actual fact is that the processed foods are
obtained from laboratories and not nature. Hence, the natural goodness of the
food is always missing. This leads to causing issues like gastrointestinal
disorders, infertility and probable damage of organs.
Also, the
processed foods lack some of the nutrients, vitamins and fiber present in the natural
raw food. Another disadvantage of processed foods is that its regular intake
can make people become angry and irritable. The mood and energy levelling
benefits of natural whole foods is missing in the processed foods.
s like gastrointestinal
disorders, infertility and probable damage of organs.
This is not
enough, that trans fats and sugar contained in processed food may cause
obesity, inflammation and asthma as well. The pre-cut vegetables and meat are
good for the people who are always in a hurry, but in reality these hardly
possesses the freshness and the vitamin quotient of the fresh vegetables and
freshly produced meat.
However, there
are healthy choices too in the processed foods which can be picked for
consumption. Some of such right choices would be like peanut butter, blueberry
jam, homemade cranberry juice, apple juice and grape juice etc. So, the next
time you are in the grocery shop for picking some processed foods, keep these
little things in mind.
