83: Additive-Free Made Easy Challenge, Day 5 - Takeaway Foods

If you’re anything like us, you love those treat days during the week, where you don’t have to cook and can simply grab takeaways for dinner. However, you may want to avoid some certain options after listening to what’s really in those foods!

We discuss what’s exactly in your standard cheeseburger, including a breakdown of every ingredient and lengthy list of preservatives such as:

Preservative 282
Emulsifier
Mineral Salt
160B
160c
And a lot more additives and preservatives
We discuss common misconceptions especially the popular “but we grew up on McDonalds and we turned out fine”.

It’s crazy to learn that even ingredients that seem natural on the ingredient panel such as the pickles, onions, mustard and even the spices may not be as natural as you expect! Now these kinds of ingredients are linked to common mood swings, hyperactivity, headaches and skin irritations these are side effects to takeaway foods.

Don’t panic, there’s no reason to drop those treat days, you just need to explore much better options where you will feel so much better for it. Another tip, If you’re cooking on the weekend or any day you feel like you have time make sure to double it or poach some eggs the night before, make the easiest food on those busy nights. It doesn’t have to be complicated at all.

This episode is a bit of a reality check for where we are heading as a nation, and the levels of behavioural issues and diseases being diagnosed to school children, cancer rates, diabetes, obesity and even depression, all of these illnesses that are prevalent in today’s society leads us back to the product and food that we put on and inside our body.
