The Proof with Simon Hill
The Importance of Reducing Ultra-Processed Foods in Your Diet
Consuming a diet low in saturated fats, rich in unsaturated fats, high in fiber, and biased towards plant protein over animal protein can have significant health benefits. Currently, 75 to 80% of protein intake in Western countries is from animal sources, which should be reconsidered. Approximately 60% of an average person's caloric intake comes from ultra-processed foods, which are universally recognized as detrimental to health. Prioritizing the reduction of ultra-processed foods is a crucial step towards improving overall health. Apart from focusing on cutting saturated fats, it is equally essential to pay attention to what replaces them, as replacing saturated fats with refined carbohydrates may increase disease risk. Substituting ultra-processed foods with minimally or unprocessed plant foods can positively impact health outcomes by increasing fiber intake and improving important biomarkers in the body.
