Q: The human body today is laden with processed foods that are bad for it. Discuss it with particular reference to your own diet.
The human body today is laden with processed foods that are bad for it. I shall elaborate on this.
Processed foods are foods that have been manufactured or tinned or bottled outside the home and have been jam packed full of preservatives, dyes, chemical flavourings and additives and a whole range of other stuffs to extend their shelf life and improve their processed appearance.
Everything you ingest must be broken down in your body to make it usable for each cell. During this process, waste is created-things that your body cannot use which must be disposed of. If there are chemicals or toxins in this waste, it is processed, and sometimes stored in your liver. Processed foods are full of these chemicals with very little substance your body can actually use. Your liver is only able to process/store a certain amount of toxins before it begins to not function well, then your other cells begin to store the waste. You then are a sponge, absorbing poisonous chemicals while your healthy cells begin to starve and wither away.
Examples of processed foods are ready frozen meals, tinned goods, cakes & biscuits, savoury or sweet packet mixes, jams, pickles and sauces. Processed food is something you that you cannot avoid eating because they are everywhere. So try to balance the amount of processed food with natural food.
