What happened: Cardiologist groups have issued a clinical consensus statement advising people to cook more at home, avoid late-night eating, and chew food slowly to reduce consumption of ultra-processed foods.
Why it matters:
- Ultra-processed foods are linked to increased health risks, including heart disease.
- Changes in eating habits could improve public health and reduce strain on healthcare systems.
MNN Take: The advice aims to encourage healthier eating behaviours by focusing on meal preparation and mindful eating, which may help lower the intake of harmful ultra-processed products.
