Older adults who reported a higher intake of ultra-processed foods, as defined by the NOVA classification system, were approximately 10% more likely to die over an average 23-year follow-up period compared to those who reported a lower intake of processed foods, according to a new study. The findings are based on a large-scale study that followed more than half a million American adults for nearly 30 years. They found that a high intake of ultra-processed foods was associated with a small increase in deaths from any cause, and specifically deaths related to heart disease and diabetes, but not with cancer-related…

New research demonstrates that eating primarily minimally processed foods, as defined by the NOVA classification system, does not automatically result in a healthy diet, suggesting that the type of food we eat may be more important than the level of processing used to make it. When the researchers compared two menus reflecting the typical Western diet (one emphasizing minimally processed foods and the other emphasizing ultra-processed foods, as classified by the NOVA classification system), they found that the less processed menu was more than twice as expensive and expired more than three times faster, with no added nutritional value. “This…

No time to meditate? Here’s how to practice anytime: Source: Center for Healthy Minds Xie Qiang I have been wearing glasses since I was in junior high school due to myopia.
