🍽️ Processed Foods vs. Whole Foods: What Fuels Your Metabolism Better? 🍽️ Not all calories are created equal. Food directly impacts your metabolism—energy, stress, mood, weight, sleep, etc. Enter the role of processed foods. Think of foods with a long shelf life such as protein bars, chips, cookies, tortillas, frozen pizzas, sugary cereals, brightly colored snacks, deli meats, and more. How do you think processed foods impact your health? 🔻 Processed Foods: - Contributes to weight gain and metabolic disorders over time - Increases inflammation leading to chronic conditions - Packed with refined sugars, preservatives, and unhealthy fats - Minimal nutrients, leading to slow digestion and energy crashes 🔺 Whole Foods: - Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals to boost metabolic function - Supports stable blood sugar, better energy, and fat-burning - Promotes gut health and reduces inflammation Choosing whole, natural, and organic foods such as fruits, veggies, nuts, lean meats and healthy fats over processed ones can help to transform your metabolism so you feel your best.
