Wellness Tip of the Week
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are foods containing ingredients that are significantly modified from their original form. They often contain additives like added sugar, highly refined oil, salt , preservatives, artificial sweeteners , colors, and flavors as well. Examples include: snack cakes, fast food , frozen meals, packaged cookies ,chips.
UPFs are highly palatable, meaning they are easily overeaten , and activate reward-related regions in the brain , which can lead to excess calorie consumption and weight gain. Studies show that diets high in ultra-processed food can contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease , and other chronic conditions. In addition to low quality ingredients like refined oils, added sugar, and refined grains, they’re usually low in fiber, protein, and micronutrients. Thus, they provide mostly empty calories.
