Health Benefits of Eating Unprocessed Foods
Eating well can seem complicated. We want to eat healthy, “real food.” Unfortunately, our busy, stressful lives make it easier to grab packaged products loaded with chemicals. Worse, when we finally do make a fresh salad we drench it in dressing laden in high fructose corn syrup. Or we vow to stick to a diet, join a plan we saw on TV, and discover its meals feature a weird ingredient list covering half the box. There has to be a better way.
Fortunately people in Lake Forest and across Orange County have discovered how using a healthy meal delivery service makes eating well way easier. So what are the benefits of eating unprocessed foods?
Shopping Solutions
Here’s a simple grocery store hack. As you enter, imagine a race track encircling the aisles. Follow this track to “real food” –– healthy items that have just one ingredient. This is where fresh produce and seasonal fruits live. It’s also home to seafood and lean meat freshly prepared, along with eggs, raw legumes and nuts. Leaving this imaginary track is when your healthy eating plan goes off track for real.
This is because a grocery’s stores shelves are devoted to processed foods like sugary cereal and breads loaded with life-extending preservatives. Not everything in the aisles is unhealthy. If your fresh vegetables traveled across a time zone or two, then frozen is a better option. Veggies are frozen at harvest; fresh veggies lose nutrients the longer they sit out.
Near the frozen broccoli are entire cases of vegetarian and vegan meals. Unfortunately, they are also processed foods. For example, media darling the Impossible Burger boasts 240 calories, 14 grams of fat (eight of which are saturated), and 370mg of sodium. Eat an old fashioned burger and you’re getting just 159 calories, 10 grams of fat (4 of which are saturated), and 42mg of sodium. Plus, among the additives found in the Impossible is one usually used for constipation treatments: methylcellulose.
If you’re vegetarian and hoping to limit consumption of processed foods, your options are limited. Which is why the one thing carnivores and vegetarians can agree on is that the organic meal delivery offered by Taylor Made Cuisine makes healthy eating easier. Their vegetarian options exclude processed or soy-based meat alternatives while relying on legumes, nuts, eggs, dairy and grain.
Simple Solutions
Shopping is half the battle. Actually cooking the food and corralling your loved ones to dinner is the other half. Convenience is the main reason people rely on processed foods.
