Many processed foods on the market today also contain way too much added salt, which can lead to high blood pressure and other health problems. So read labels before you buy canned, frozen, and packaged goods, and look for lower-sodium varieties.
Another ingredient to watch out for is "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oil, which signifies the presence of trans fat, the worst type of fat for your heart. Look for products with zero grams or NO trans fat on the Nutrition Facts panel.
In fact, when shopping, a good rule of thumb is to go for the food products with the fewest ingredients, and ideally, only ingredients that you recognize and can pronounce!
