When comparing nutrition versus exercise, which one impacts longevity and health the most? The answer might surprise you!

Much in the same way that eating broccoli once per month won't make you healthy, the occasional junk food indulgence won't make you unhealthy.

We can't just group all processed foods in the same category. Processing exists on a spectrum, where some foods are more processed than others. Processing foods includes alterations in the physical properties of the food, as well as the chemical properties of the food. The chemical alterations can include adding ingredients, preservatives and other additives, or removing some, like fiber. Some forms of processing, such as fortification, can actually make certain foods healthier, just another example of the nuances that exist when we're talking about processed foods.
