S3, E3: Ultra Processed Foods - How Much Should You Worry? The Imperfect PT Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
We live in a food abundant society where the fast pace of life demands our food be supplied, prepared and often ingested ever more quickly. Convenience is king and so it’s no surprise that food in its natural form has been replaced by snacks and ready meals that, all too often, offer very little nutritional value.
They are designed and marketed to be alluring, hyper palatable, exceptionally moorish and ADDICTIVE!
We are at the point where over half the food we buy in the UK is ultra processed (and for low-income households, it’s the only affordable and viable form of nutrition available). Yes, UPFs make up 57% of the UK diet (making us the worst in Europe) – and the health risks associated with this way of eating are becoming ever more evident.
With that backdrop of increasing concern and growing public confusion, what better time to bring some awareness and understanding to the subject of UPF in the most honest way we can. We discuss how to recognise UPF, the latest research around their impact on our health and what you can do to find healthier alternatives.
