The name "ultra-processed” may cause some people a slight astonishment. If processed food is something that needs to be avoided, can you imagine ultra-processed food? But that is not what many Brazilians follow strictly. Processed foods are on many people's tables right now.
Choices may not be as healthy as we think. Who would say, for example, that the protein bar is not as healthy as we imagine? The food has few advantages, high levels of industrialization and sugar compositions. That's what Isaac Nunes, a sports nutritionist at the Saúde Imediata clinic in Brasilia, explained.

The ideal is to eat as many natural foods as you can, without adding processed foods. Time can show the harm that industrialization can cause.
“These foods are produced in several stages of processing and contain substances synthesized in laboratories. It is not possible to reduce these ingredients at home”, said the nutritionist.
Ultra-processed foods consumed on a daily basis
protein bars
These are combined with a diet healthy. Usually, the person carries it in their purse if they are hungry. However, what many don't know is that the bar doesn't just have protein. Other compositions are used that may affect health in the future. According to the nutritionist, the difference is only the amount of protein.
Cereals
Cereal breakfast? The feeling is that the food is being as healthy as possible when mixed with milk. However, Nunes claims that these foods are ultra-processed and contain high amounts of sugar.
yogurts
Yoghurts are used for breakfast or for snacks. They may contain doses of sweeteners, alcoholic beverages and other additives. The point is that these foods can be exchanged for the natural version.
vegetable milk
It is a milk option for those who have intolerance to some type of food. Some brands may add other ingredients to the milk so that the drink can last longer, which makes the food less healthy.
Breads
Ultra-processed breads are those with hydrogenated vegetable fat, whey, starch and other ingredients. Bakery breads tend not to be ultra-processed, but care is needed when consuming packaged products. The ideal is to always pay attention to labels and compound ingredients.
