Etiquetas nutricionales: cómo detectar los alimentos procesados
No siempre es fácil saber qué alimentos son procesados. Las etiquetas y el marketing de los alimentos pueden ser engañosos. Pero hay algunos trucos que puede utilizar para saber qué elegir.
Alimentos procesados
Cualquier alimento que venga en un paquete puede ser procesado. Algunos alimentos están "mínimamente procesados". El procesamiento mínimo puede ser para que los alimentos sean más fáciles de usar, como la lechuga prelavada. También puede ayudar a conservar los alimentos y mantener los nutrientes, como el brócoli congelado. Estos alimentos pueden ser excelentes adiciones a su dieta saludable.
Sin embargo, es mejor limitar los alimentos más procesados. A algunos se les han quitado sus nutrientes, como los cereales refinados. Otros tienen mucha azúcar, sal y grasa agregadas.
Qué buscar
Aquí hay algunas pistas de que un alimento es altamente procesado y debe evitarse:
- Contiene ingredientes que no encontraría en su propia cocina.
- La lista de ingredientes incluye azúcares añadidos. ¡La miel, el agave, el jarabe de maíz, la melaza y el jarabe de maple también cuentan como azúcar!
- La lista de ingredientes incluye sal.
- Tiene cereales refinados. Los granos integrales se leerán "100%" o "integral" antes de "cereal".
