- Compliments of Vitamins & MineralsThe micronutrients (Vitamins/Minerals) play an important role by ensuring proper functioning of cells and tissues.Each vitamin and trace mineral play a specific role in the body. For example, Vitamin C acts as antioxidant protecting cells from environmental damage, healing wounds and maintaining connective tissue whereas minerals like sodium, potassium and chloride function as electrolytes that assist in communication between cells necessary for nerve impulses and muscle contraction.Some products mimic the nature by adding artificial vitamins or minerals which have an identical form and function to those found in nature, but they are manufactured synthetically to meet extremely high standards of processed products.
- High in Fat
Calories in a food come from carbohydrates, protein and fat. The above product however has more calories from fat, which is not desirable and thus is considered “high in fat”.
So think again before you go binging on it, as every gram of fat matters!
- Know your Food- Sugar and its AliasesSome Food Products mask the amount of Added Sugar by using multiple forms of sugar and avoid displaying Sugar as one of the first ingredient. All Ingredient list are in descending order by their weight, so the position of sugar and its aliases can give an indication of the amount of 'Added Sugar'.Though the Nutrition Fact label on the food product gives you the Total Sugar, the regulation does not require the break up between natural and added sugar to be given. Thus, it is important to know the different sources of sugar that may be present in a food product to get an idea of added sugar.At the same time it is important to understand that the body does not distinguish between natural and added sugar, so take note of the Total Sugar in the Nutritional Fact label.Read more about the many different sources of sugar which includes Dextrose, Invert Syrup, Maltodextrin, Honey...
- Contains Cholesterol
The common myth is that Cholesterol is all bad! This is not the case Cholesterol is used by the body as raw material for different important hormones, cellular structure etc. But too much cholesterol can clog your arteries (also known as Atherosclerosis) and lead to heart disease.
With age body's requirement of cholesterol reduces which may result in the cholesterol level in blood to go up. Thus, the dietary intake of cholesterol needs to be reduced as we age to maintain the blood cholesterol level.
The body can make most of the required amount of cholesterol needed in a day so you do not need to look for products that provide cholesterol. Limit the consumption of products that contain cholesterol.Thus, keep an eye out for food products having ingredients like whole egg, chicken bits, chicken fat, other animal fats, milk fat, butter. The more of these ingredients in a product, the better it is to avoid them. - Highly Processed!Additives are added to the packaged foods for different reasons varying from increasing shelf life, to provide flavour and texture, increasing nutrition quality or required to manufacture some types of food.One of the ways to determine the degree of Processing is the number of additives you find in the ingredient list. The higher the number of additives greater is the degree of processing. Additives can be identified by looking for ingredients that begin with 'E' and have a number in them.It is generally recommended that food that is closer to nature is better hence it is better to choose food products with lesser number of additives.
- Loaded with Sugar
