UPF need to be regulated better. It is difficult to stay away from them or not depend on them. But with consistency and a bit of an effort, we can still stick to a healthier diet.
Everything in moderation, right? Well… “Adding just a few ultraprocessed foods to a healthy diet raised risk of cognitive decline and stroke, study says” https://t.co/fEaCcGzSWb

While cutting down #salt, are you being mindful of the insane amount in your french fries, chips, canned vegetables, pickles, sauerkraut, ham, bacon or salted pork? Packaged mixes, frozen hash browns and Tater Tots? Read-to-make pasta, tomato sauces, salsa and other dip?
More than 1 teaspoon of salt per day can increase blood pressure, which is a leading risk factor for heart 🫀 disease & stroke. An estimated 2.5 million deaths could be prevented per year if everyone lowers their salt 🧂 consumption to the recommended limit

Despite knowing the serious consequences of these #UPFs, why are so many people still consuming them? Why aren't there better #regulations on what goes into the #food we eat? https://t.co/xZCpwXSI9Y
