Dear Diary: I Am So In A Look-out About My Diet And So Should You

We now live in an era where almost everything is instant like instant entertainment, just turn on the TV or PC or smartphone and we get entertained in an instant, instant messaging where in the other side of the world we can see and talk to our lovedones and see how they are doing.
And then come the instant foods that we can buy conveniently in the supermarket or grocery stores. I must say that these foods are bad, they have a lot of chemicals in them that will definitely hurt our health in long term-use. It is because they are eaten in a daily basis and the chemicals builds-up in our system.

Soon our bodies will conk-out and develop illnesses because they are constantly battling through the chemicals and balancing things out in our bodies. This is a kind of abuse to our organ systems like the heart when we consume high sodium foods, the liver when we consume the preservatives and artificial stuffs that is in our packaged and processed foods, our pancreas when we consume high fructose sugar or foods with high sugar content, then we develop diabetes and that is for sure.
I have been so careful about purchasing such packaged/processed foods because they maybe convenient and tasty sometimes but they just fool our taste buds with their artificial flavors or our eyes with their artificial colors or their texture with their additives to make them nice with their mouthfeel but none of these are good for our health as they are just chemicals to lure us in buying them.

Not all that tastes and looks good with regards to processed/packaged foods are good to eat so we maybe better off with cooking our foods and much better growing and cooking them rather than buying ready to eat foods that are abound all around us so we have to keep full diligence or we would end up developing illness that will make our lives harder if not getting lot of misery financially and physically in the future.
Yes, you are absolutely right. Well, I think in Europe most of the products don't have preservatives at least you have a choice. Here in Australia, it is absolutely disgusting they put it in everything! Even in wine (lol), they claim that it keeps it fresh and it would taste better. My husband is always getting an itchy nose when he drinks it, and he stopped it a few months ago, and we decided to not buy these products anymore. I heard that in the states it is even worse!
I am not sure why they are doing it, I mean in the tropics it would make sense in some way because of the heat, but the funny thing is that you can find some products without it and most of them are from Europe, and it's weird because they last... hmmm
Yellow food color causes allergies, I once told my brother and mother about it and ask them to drink Tang orange which has that food coloring and sure enough they developed allergy from it and itched and sneezed because they are allergic to that food additive. @mvd
They now avoid such foods.
I had to Google "Tang Orange" didn't know what it was. That's very interesting! When I am doing grocery shopping, I'll have a look at it as well! Sometimes I am feeling really sick after eating Noodles with tomato sauce, and I don't know what it is... also some kind of allergy I guess. I don't know how big companies can get away with it so sad ☹️
Sometimes i just sit down and wonder also why can i not have my own diary like yours post
