Is it time we start to rethink food additives that are added into our food?
Chemicals may be added to food to help them give a longer shelf-life and maybe taste a little bit better, but that does not mean that they are good for the body. They do not add years to your life. They actual shorten the life of a healthy brain. It's time we start preserving our health and think less about preserving food.
Chemical food additives can damage brain tissue and cause a chemical imbalance. They can pass the blood-brain barrier and have a brain-aging effect. It may not seem to have an effect to you at once, but as we eat more and more food with chemicals in them, it eventual adds up.
It is best to avoid chemicals and JUST EAT REAL FOOD!!!
Here is a list of chemicals you want to avoid. Check your food labels:
Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils
Aspartame
MSG
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP)
BHA
Sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite
Propyl gallate
Acesulfame potassium (K)
Sodium benzoate
Potassium bromate
Artificial colors
BHT
Make sure to check your food labels and protect your brain health!

As always, let's make healthy fun!!
