Strengthening the immune system
Fresh foods are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are crucial for a strong immune system. Reducing ultra-processed foods will allow you to get more nutrients that are beneficial to your overall health.
Improving cardiovascular health
Many ultra-processed foods are high in trans and saturated fats, which can raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. Cutting them out could improve your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
By ditching ultra-processed foods and opting for fresh, whole foods, you are likely to increase your fiber intake. This can improve gut health, regulate digestive transit and prevent problems such as constipation.
