Eating This Type of Food Can Make You Age Faster, Study Finds - Eat This Not That
New research gives people another reason to stay away from unhealthy packaged foods.
Health experts have long-advised to limit the consumption of foods that are heavily processed and a new study just gave additional incentive to do that. New research indicates that eating ultra-processed foods can actually expedite the aging of your cells.
Now you may be wondering, what separates an ultra-processed food from one that's just processed? Essentially, a food that's considered to be ultra-processed is one that's "industrially manufactured," meaning its predominantly made with a mixture of oils, fats, sugars, starch, and proteins that contain little to no nutritional value. These types of foods are also void of any whole or natural ingredients.
