In recent years, mindful eating has gained prominence due to growing concerns about the negative health effects of ultra-processed foods. Studies like Ultra-processed foods in human health: a critical appraisal, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, have linked excessive consumption of these products with increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders.
In response to this reality, movements like “clean eating” have emerged, promoting a diet based on natural ingredients without unnecessary additives or industrial processes that alter their purity. This trend has not only changed how consumers choose their food but has also driven significant growth in the demand for healthier products. According to Euromonitor International, the European nut market will experience a compound annual growth of 4.2% between 2022 and 2027.
In this context, Spanish Almonds from El Nogal Wellness Nuts have positioned themselves as a perfect option. These premium almonds not only offer exceptional taste but also align with the principles of this lifestyle: no added sugars and no preservatives or additives.
What is “clean eating”?
“Clean eating” is a lifestyle based on consuming natural, whole, and minimally processed foods, prioritizing fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and nuts. This philosophy isn’t about following a strict diet but rather seeking balance by favoring ingredients that maintain their original properties and have undergone minimal industrial processing, avoiding additives like colorings, preservatives, and added sugars.
Furthermore, this movement goes beyond individual health; it promotes more conscious and sustainable eating, considering food origins and the impact of our daily choices on the environment. Clean eating not only benefits the body but also contributes to a more responsible and environmentally respectful consumption model.
