Processed Foods


Next time you go shopping have a look at the contents of most shopping trolleys. The majority are full of what can be called non foods/displacement foods; these foods are foods that cost more in nutritional value to digest, absorb and eliminate than it delivers. Most processed foods fall into this category.

Processed foods are the product of methods and techniques that are used to transform raw ingredients into foods that aid a more market driven product, appealing to certain target markets and increasing shelf life to the benefit of many large food manufacturers and distributors, unfortunately at the cost of your health.

The drawbacks of processed foods are vast and ever more apparent. Commonly the food processing will deplete nutrients within foods, therefore reducing the amount of vitamins and minerals consumed. Not only that but also many of the preservatives added during the food processing can cause quite substantial health risks.

It is said that we consume around our own body weight purely from these food additives per year, so that could be around 70kilograms of chemicals that your liver has to process, not ideal to say the least, especially when this leads to your liver becoming over worked and the chemicals and additives ending up in your blood stream and have unlimited access to the cells of your body as well as placing strain on your systems of detoxification.

Weight Gain
Skin Disorders
Auto-immune Diseases
