Eat Less Processed Foods - Increase Raw Foods

On average, Americans eat about 31% more prepackaged, processed food versus raw or fresh food. Salty snacks, frozen pizza, frozen dinners and other ready to eat processed meals contain loads of extra fats, salts, sugars and preservatives. A diet heavy in processed foods leads to problems of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Eat more raw food. A raw food diet is one that promotes the consumption of raw foods. Raw foods, including fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, seeds and herbs, are foods eaten in their natural, unprocessed, uncooked state.
