Processed food: Study suggests processed meat may increase the risk of cancer

Study suggests processed meat may increase risk of cancer

A recent study states that processed meat contains nitrites which may increase the risk of cancer.&nbsp;

A recent study conducted by Queen's University Belfast found that processed meat contains nitrites, which may increase the risk of developing tumours. Nitrites are widely used in processed meat to extend their shelf-life.&nbsp;
For the analysis, researchers fed mice processed meat containing nitrites and the other group of mice were given meat without chemicals. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Published in the journal Nature, the findings stated that mice who ate nitrite-packed food developed a 75 per cent increase in tumour, while the other group showed no symptoms. &nbsp;
The team also concluded that consuming processed food even&nbsp;in smaller quantities can raise the risk of cancer.&nbsp;

What are processed foods? Realistic tips to reduce your processed food intake

Consumption of processed foods can&nbsp;increase your risk of&nbsp;obesity,&nbsp;type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and more!

Processed foods have a pretty bad reputation in the health world. Studies have shown that consuming such foods can&nbsp;increase your risk of&nbsp;obesity,&nbsp;type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and more!&nbsp;
<h3>So, what are processed foods?&nbsp;</h3>
By definition, any food&nbsp;that has been cooked, canned, frozen, packaged or changed in nutritional composition by fortification, preservation or prepped in a different way can be&nbsp;considered&nbsp;&nbsp;&lsquo;processed&nbsp;food.&rsquo;&nbsp;

Boxed meals, potato chips, sodas are all categorised under this food group. But even whole-wheat bread or&nbsp;a&nbsp;pack of chopped veggies&nbsp;are&nbsp;under the umbrella of processed food.&nbsp;
<h3>Are all processed foods bad for health?&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
Not all processed food is bad news. Minimally processed items such as&nbsp;roasted nuts, bagged veggies or pasteurised dairy can form a part of a balanced diet. Fortified foods like milk&nbsp;or iodized salt can help you&nbsp;eat more nutrient-dense foods.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The problematic processed foods are generally loaded with salt, sugar and unnecessary additives. Convenient and heavily marketed, it can get pretty hard to avoid unhealthy processed foods.&nbsp;

Here are some realistic ways to reduce your processed food intake:&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Start shopping better</h3>
The easiest way to reduce consumption is by not buying them. Fill up your grocery cart with fresh, minimally processed and whole foods like fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. Try to avoid the colourful aisles of packaged foods as much as possible.
<h3>Replace fancy drinks</h3>
You really don&rsquo;t need a pretty drink with every meal. Switch sugary beverages like soda, sweet teas, fruit juice or energy drinks for a glass of water. You can infuse some fruits or herbs to flavour your water.
<h3>Say no to processed &lsquo;whites&rsquo;</h3>
Swap your white rice, pasta, bread for whole-grain alternatives like brown rice, and wheat pasta or bread. Switch your boxed cereal with oatmeal. Whole grains are tastier, high in fibre and keep you full for longer.
<h3>Keep it slow &amp; steady</h3>
Whether you decide to cook some meals at home or healthify your pantry &ndash; it is probably not the best idea to cold turkey overnight. You are much more likely to stick to your new routine if you make gradual changes and allow your body and taste buds to adjust to the new habits.

When older adults consume high quantities of processed foods, their cognitive behaviour is affected, finds a new study

Highly processed foods harm memory in the aging brain, finds new study

A new study has found that older adults who consume a lot of processed foods like chips, pizza and fries have the risk of developing cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. 

Chips ‘n’ Dips may be costing your adult brain more than you think!

A new study implicates that when older adults consume high quantities of processed foods, their cognitive functions get affected.

A new study implicates that when older adults consume high quantities of processed foods, their cognitive functions get affected. The study, published in the journal&nbsp;Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, observed aging rats on a diet of highly processed foods for four weeks.
The result showed a strong inflammatory response in their brains accompanied by behavioral signs of memory loss. Researchers also found that supplementing the processed diet with the omega-3 fatty acid DHA prevented memory problems and reduced the inflammatory effects almost entirely in older rats. On the other hand, when younger rats were exposed to a similar diet, cognitive problems did not appear.

The study diet mimicked ready-to-eat human foods that are often packaged for long shelf life, such as potato chips and other snacks, frozen entrees like pasta dishes and pizzas, and deli meats containing preservatives.
Highly processed diets are also associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. These findings indicate that consumption of a processed diet can produce significant and abrupt memory deficits and in the aging population, rapid memory decline can lead to Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, it is important to limit processed foods intake and increase consumption of foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acid DHA&nbsp;to control the progression of cognitive disorders with growing age.
