If you feel you might have over indulged over the Easter weekend then this is just a little thought for the day…..
Do you know your body has approximately 37.2 trillion cells! Your body can replace 20 million cells in just a few seconds. When you take this on board you begin to really understand how important good nutrition is to your life expectancy.
In recent decades, ultra-processed food intake (including chocolate!) has increased dramatically worldwide. These foods now apparently account for 25โ60% of a personโs daily energy intake throughout much of the world.
One large study involving more than 100,000 adults, found that eating 10% more ultra-processed foods was associated with above a 10% increase in the risks of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disorders.
Another large study involving almost 20,000 adults, found that eating more than 4 servings of processed food daily was linked with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. For each additional serving, all-cause mortality risk increased by 18%. The main cause of death was cancer.
So now the weekendโs over letโs get back on plan and start promoting those healthy little cells again! ๐คฃ ๐คฃ ๐ค ๐ค ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
