When it comes to the amount of ingredients in our food, less is more! The less ingredients listed, the better. When you pick up an item at the store, with an ingredient list of 5-7 things or more, that should be a red flag. It is especially alarming if that list includes dyes, additives, preservatives, or words you cannot pronounce.
Clean eating has become a trendy term, and it can be misused for marketing purposes. To make it simple, clean eating includes foods that are from nature (not created in a factory), with zero to very few added ingredients.
Here are a few examples of what to look for on an ingredient list:
Be a food detective! Read ingredient lists, choose fresh foods whenever possible, and look for food items that have 5 or less ingredients. Your health, and the health of your family, is important. It doesn’t matter how you were raised eating or what others do around you. You can educate yourself and take responsibility for your food choices. You are in control of what you feed yourself and your family. Choose wisely😊
