Processed items are usually made from low-quality ingredients which can affect your health in many ways. They have little nutritional value and are high in salts, sugars, trans-fats and preservatives. This can lead to hormonal imbalances and chemical imbalances in the brain which in turn can lead to memory issues, depression, mood swings and lethargy.
