The Impact of Processed Food on Eating Habits

Processed foods are designed to be less satisfying, leading to overeating and a lack of essential nutrients. Eating processed food means missing out on high protein foods, complex carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables, which affects overall health and satiety. The prevalence of processed foods in our diets contributes to higher risks of obesity, binge eating disorders, and impulsive eating, which can further lead to other health complications.
