A new Israeli study has determined that processed food is not bad for us – despite its long-standing poor reputation – and with the right addition of proteins can actually give our bodies a boost.
Processed food is actually a blanket description for any foods that have been changed in some way during their preparation. This could be drying, preserving (which is what we usually think of when we hear the term) or even cooking itself.
And while we imagine processed foods to be ones that have undergone a more drastic treatment like breakfast cereal, ready meals, canned meat or prepackaged bread and pastries, which have had preservatives added, it can actually also include frozen fruit and vegetables, cheese and even yogurt.
Meanwhile, we need proteins to maintain our health, and the right consumption of them has a major impact on our wellbeing, and even affects responses such as appetite and fatigue.
The discovery of their relationship came when researchers from the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa were examining the possible danger of ingesting amyloid proteins in our food.
