Nutritionist Vancouver

In today’s world, it’s more important than ever to prioritize our health. With the abundance of processed foods containing chemicals and unknown ingredients, industrial seed oils, food dyes, and the widespread use of pesticides and GMOs in our produce, it’s easy to see why our health is being compromised. These factors can have a negative impact on our bodies, leading to chronic health conditions, decreased energy levels, and a lower quality of life. At Fitness Report, I believe that a healthy diet is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. By making informed choices about what we eat, we can improve our overall health and well-being.

To start, let’s look at industrial seed oils. These oils, such as soybean, corn, and canola oil, are commonly used in many processed foods and are often touted as “heart-healthy” alternatives to animal fats. However, these oils are highly processed and contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which can lead to inflammation in the body when consumed in excess. Inflammation is a contributing factor to many chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Processed foods, in general, are often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives. These foods can contribute to weight gain, inflammation, and an increased risk of chronic diseases. By choosing whole, minimally processed foods, we can provide our bodies with the necessary nutrients it needs to function optimally.

Additionally, the use of pesticides and GMOs in our produce is a growing concern. Pesticides are used to kill insects and other pests that can damage crops, but they can also be harmful to human health. Studies have linked pesticide exposure to an increased risk of cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and other health problems. GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, have also been linked to health concerns, including allergenic reactions and antibiotic resistance.

Another concerning ingredient in our food supply is food dyes. These synthetic colors are added to many processed foods to make them more visually appealing. However, many food dyes have been linked to hyperactivity in children, allergic reactions, and even cancer. It’s important to read food labels and avoid products containing artificial colors whenever possible.
