5. How to Minimize Additives Naturally
You don’t need to avoid all additives, but you can easily cut back:
-
Cook more meals from fresh ingredients.
-
Choose foods with short, simple ingredient lists.
-
Avoid bright-colored, highly processed snacks.
-
Opt for “no added preservatives” or “minimally processed” options when possible.
Summary
Food additives and preservatives aren’t inherently bad — they play an important role in food safety and convenience. The key is balance: enjoy processed foods occasionally but make fresh, whole foods the base of your diet. The fewer ingredients you can’t pronounce, the better.
