Deep dives

Ultra-processed foods and their impact on health

Ultra-processed foods, which make up a significant portion of the standard American diet, are associated with increased risk for conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and even dementia. These foods are typically calorie-dense, nutrient-poor, and minimally satiating, making them easy to overconsume. Eating minimally processed, whole foods is key to maintaining a healthy body composition and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
