Ultra processed food and health

No one wishes to eat normal food at home. Due to the hectic work schedule, all are busy with work and turning themselves towards junk food or ultra-processed foods. Most packaged food is ultra-processed. Leave aside the taste, people are now eating ultra-processed foods like chips, biscuits-nankeen, pizza-burgers, and cold drinks to fill their stomachs.

If you also prefer to eat like this at the peak of hunger, then your health may be in danger. Ultra-processed food not only increases obesity but also increases the risk of cancer, mental health problems, and heart diseases.

To understand ultra-processed food in simple language, it means food that is not usually prepared in the home kitchen. If curd is made from milk at home then there is no problem. Whereas in some big industries, the curd is made from milk and to make it tasty, color, flavor, sugar, or corn syrup is also added.

Home-roasted corn is healthy, whereas many chemicals, sugar, and salt are used to make delicious popcorn with extra flavor available in the market. This entire process is called ultra-processing and the food is called processed food.


Excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods increases the risk of early death by about 21-25 percent. Its consumption also increases the risk of death related to heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes by 40-66 percent. At the same time, the risk of sleep problems and depression increases by 22-30 percent.

Obesity is one of the fastest-growing problems in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it an epidemic. This means a disease that is spreading very rapidly throughout the world. Consuming too much ultra-processed food can lead to obesity. This also increases the chances of diseases like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and lack of sleep. Better to stick with normal and less spicy, more vegetable, leafy foods, and avoid to consume much fast and junk foods, coled drinks, and beverages outside of the home prefer your kitchen-made foods. Spend some time on health.
