9 Reasons to avoid processed foods

Processed foods are highly addictive!

Your body processes whole foods much differently than refined, processed, and heavily modified foods. They tend to overstimulate the production of dopamine, known as the pleasure transmitter, which makes you crave them constantly.
Your body ends up not being able to resist the temptation to continue eating these foods in excess, which can lead to weight gain and other health problems.
