A key aspect of clean eating is trying to avoid ‘processed foods’. These are foods that required manufacturing.
Most packaged foods with a shelf life are highly processed, especially flour-based foods like crackers, bread and pasta. Processed snack foods and desserts are loaded with nitrates, which clearly, are bad for your body.
Another good reason to cook at home instead of getting a bag of chips at the gas station, is the cost savings. Drive thru can really add up especially if you have a couple of kids).
Eating clean requires some planning and creativity, but, you’ll see a boost in your ‘taste of foods’, the size of your wallet, and your energy and continued good health.
