Pre-packaged Foods and Snacks
Eating pre-packaged foods and snacks can be convenient in our busy lives. However, ingredient labels can look more like a science experiment than actual food. The goal for this month is to avoid these heavily processed foods.
The American Institute of Cancer Research recommends to “maximize your consumption of cancer-fighting nutrients and phytochemicals while minimizing unhealthy additions to your diet.” Preservatives prolong shelf life, but do not prolong YOUR life.
- Know what you are eating.
- Be aware of ingredients.
- Read nutrition labels.
- Eat whole foods for better health.
