Are you struggling with pain or discomfort or relying on medications to manage blood pressure or glucose levels despite thinking you’re eating healthy? Masking symptoms with pills and normalizing aches doesn’t address the root issue.
Discover one key factor that can transform your health.
Are you aware of the hidden toxins lurking in store-bought and restaurant dressings and sauces? From chemically processed seed oils to microplastics leaching from plastic containers, these ingredients create a perfect storm of inflammation in your body.
Have you ever felt unexpectedly tired, experienced headaches, bloating, or even a rash after a seemingly “healthy” meal out or using store-bought dressing?
Many commercial sauces and dressings not only pack in sugar but also contain oxidized, highly processed oils that can wreak havoc on your body, promoting inflammation.
Over time, chronic inflammation leads to unwanted symptoms and diseases.
It’s time to reconsider those convenient choices.
Oils used in store-bought dressings and restaurants are often extracted with high heat and chemicals, leading to oxidation—a process where oils react with oxygen to form harmful compounds and free radicals.
Common culprits include soybean, safflower, and canola oils—cheap and popular in commercial food production. They’re go-to options in pre-made sauces like barbecue sauce and ketchup, which are also high in added sugars, compounding their inflammatory impact.
Tip: Read labels and opt for products using stable oils less prone to oxidation, such as olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil.
Even better, make your own dressings and sauces at home to control ingredients and avoid unwanted additives and oxidized oils.
These small changes in your diet can significantly impact your health. Remember, every step towards healthier eating is a step towards a better life.
