Focus on Nutrients, Not Just Processed Labels
Ninety percent of healthy living principles remain unchanged, emphasizing the importance of fresh fruits, vegetables, exercise, and adequate sleep.

While observational data links these foods to negative health outcomes, the real issue often ties back to established knowledge about high sugar and fat intake.

The consistent omission of these nutrients in ultra-processed diets underscores the necessity to focus on holistic dietary quality rather than merely the processing status of foods.
