Ultra-processed foods now make up a large part of modern diets, accounting for 57% of calories globally. With the rise of these foods, obesity rates have also climbed. People have become accustomed to the convenience of processed foods and are reluctant to change entrenched habits. However, unhealthy diets have become a public health crisis worldwide. Ultra-processed foods are linked to various health issues including heart disease, stroke and cancer. Reducing intake of ultra-processed foods and increasing the proportion of fresh ingredients is critical to achieving healthy diets. Governments should take measures to make nutritious foods more affordable, provide better nutritional labeling, and restrict marketing of junk foods. Individuals should also make efforts to cultivate healthy eating habits. Transitioning to diets based on minimally processed foods is possible but will require coordinated efforts between policy makers, industry and consumers. Tackling this issue is imperative to improve global public health. 超加工食品現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)深入滲透到現(xiàn)代飲食中,占據(jù)了全球一半以上攝入的熱量。這些營養(yǎng)貧乏的食物推動了肥胖率的上升。雖然這些食品方便且易上癮,但它們已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致了公共健康危機。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),超加工食品與心臟病、中風(fēng)和癌癥相關(guān)。從加工零食和膳食中轉(zhuǎn)向新鮮、最少加工的食材,對于健康飲食至關(guān)重要。政府必須制定政策,使有營養(yǎng)的食物變得實惠,規(guī)定更好的標(biāo)簽,特別是對兒童限制垃圾食品營銷。個人也應(yīng)該培養(yǎng)更健康的習(xí)慣。雖然過程艱難,但是轉(zhuǎn)向以天然食物為基礎(chǔ)的飲食對于改善全球健康至關(guān)重要。解決這個問題需要政策制定者、食品公司和消費者的協(xié)調(diào)努力。減少超加工食品的消費,增加天然食材,是社會提高公共健康水平可以采取的最重要的步驟之一。
