adverse mental health symptoms Linked To ULTRA-PROCESSED FOOD CONSUMPTION

Research demonstrates that people who consume high amounts of ultra-processed foods report significantly more adverse mental health symptoms. Ultra-processed foods hugely contribute to inflammation, so the connection between diet, inflammation, mental health and decision-making is all interconnected. It is difficult to avoid processed foods! I remind people to go back to the basics when deciding what to eat. Think about choosing real unpackaged foods as much as possible and reading labels diligently to avoid ingredients you don’t know or understand. These are great starting points for reclaiming a healthy diet.
