Similar to processed foods, prepackaged foods may be quick and convenient, but many contain hidden ingredients that are not listed on the packaging. Even prepackaged meals that are marketed as healthy can contain numerous chemicals and preservatives. For instance, many of these prepackaged meals and snacks, often frozen, contain high amounts of sodium, sugars, and fat. Meals that are high in sodium, such as prepackaged pizza, soups, bread, soups, pasta and meat dishes, sandwiches, and Raman noodles, put an individual at an increased risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and kidney disease, and to keep these levels healthy, you will need to limit your sodium intake to less than 1,500 milligrams a day.

Other prepackaged foods contain copious amounts of sugar, including high fructose corn syrup, and consuming a large amount of sugar will increase your risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. Not to mention, trans fats are often incorporated into these foods and increase your risk for high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, and a heart attack.
