Still need junk food? Just remember "G.A.T.C.H.A"!

Hi dear! Are you eating more junk food than ever since COVID-19?
​
If so, you’re one of many. There are so many emotions you go through during this uncertain time; anxious, scared, worried, overwhelmed, and STRESSED.

Yes, having more stress can increase the chance of turning to junk food for a quick reward. Junk food lowers our immunity when keeping it high is so important right now!

In an ideal world, going cold turkey on junk food makes sense, but it’s not that simple for many, right? Without any mindsets and habits shift, it’ll just increase your stress level and lower your self-esteem.

While there’re so many chemically added things I like to avoid, here’s a list of 6 basic ingredients I’d try hard to stay away from, aka “G.A.T.C.H.A”!
​​​
-Artificial colors (Blue nos. 1 and 2, Red no. 40, Yellow no. 6)-GMOs (Genetically modified organisms)

-Trans fats (hydrogenated oils)

-Chemically created artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, like Splenda)

-High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)

-Additives (beyond above, things you can’t really imagine what they look like or simply, can't easily pronounce: MSG (monosodium glutamate), Carrageenan, Sodium Benzoate, Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)
