Ultra processed foods are those made more in factories than kitchens — they’re designed to be cheap, highly addictive, and have a long shelf life. But they can spike cravings, zap your energy, and leave your body feeling sluggish, with more serious health effects such as weight gain, inflammation, insulin resistance, heart disease, and an increased risk of chronic conditions.
How to spot them:
- Long ingredient lists
- Unpronounceable words or numbers
- Packaged foods that last forever on the shelf
Swipe through to see some easy supermarket swaps and suggestions. Remember: balance, not restriction. You don’t need to cut all ultra processed foods —small swaps make a huge difference!
