What are ultra-processed foods?

Ultra-processed foods are foods that are highly processed from their natural ingredients. They contain preservatives, flavor enhancers, colors, and a variety of chemicals so that they can be stored for longer periods of time.

Things like chips, frozen dinners, sausages and packaged cookies fall into the category of ultra-processed food. Consuming these foods can increase the risk of many diseases.

Breakfast cereals are the most harmful processed foods

Dr. Naidu especially considers breakfast cereal to be the worst processed food. Most people today consume this for breakfast. Cereal mostly contains simple carbohydrates and sugar, which increases blood sugar rapidly.

Eating it in the morning can lead to lack of energy, fatigue and hunger during the day. Apart from this, it can also cause mental fatigue and irritability.

What to eat instead of cereal?

According to Dr Naidu, breakfast needs to be a nutritious and balanced meal with the right mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. She recommends including protein and healthy fats along with plant-based foods. Some healthy breakfast options include:

• Eat vegetables with scrambled eggs: like spinach and tomatoes, along with avocado.
• Green Smoothie: Make it by mixing leafy vegetables, nut butter and protein powder.
