How Pre-Packaged Foods Can Harm Your Health
Introduction ● Today, over half of our meals are either pre packaged or prepared in advance by others. Our fast-paced lives make it almost impossible to cook healthy meals. ● With our ever-changing lifestyles, consumers began requesting food with longer shelf lives and less prep time. ● The truth is that the prepackaged foods we're consuming are not only hurting our health, they’re actually a harmful alternative to healthy, wholesome food. 2
1) Additional Additives and Chemicals: ● Every processed or prepackaged meal contains some sort of chemicals or additives that can harm your health in the long-run. ● Think about it- how can food possibly have a months-long shelf life at the grocery store without going bad? ● Although the prepackaged food industry and grocery chains make billions of dollars in profit annually, it’s coming at the cost of our own health. 3
2) Consumption of Fatty Foods: ● Most prepackaged foods contain a high volume of fat, especially harmful trans-fats. ● Trans-fats actually help foods to maintain their shelf life. Think of hydrogenated oil, outlawed in most states by fast-food establishments, as the worst trans-fat, yet it is usually a primary ingredient in most prepackaged food for its shelf-life extending capabilities. ● Consuming these foods can lead to high cholesterol, heart disease, or stroke. 4
3) Negative Effects on Your Diet: ● Chemically-aided food can negatively affect your diet routine and it could even make you put on weight. Alternatively, most required vitamins and nutrients are eliminated when food is processed and packaged. ● For long-term health benefits, you’ll need real food! 5
4) It is Expensive: ● Prepackaged meals are not only unhealthy, but pricey too! ● If you want to lose weight, start eating real food. Just because real food takes time to prepare and doesn’t come in brightly marketed packaging, it’s always a better option than unhealthy prepackaged food. 6
