In today’s food landscape, where processed options dominate many meals, the Realfooding movement rises as a practical approach to eating real, minimally processed foods. Supported by Spanish nutritionist Carlos Ríos, this movement encourages choices rooted in natural ingredients and urges people to cut back on ultra-processed products.
Realfooding emphasizes returning to foods in their most natural or least processed form. It aims to educate individuals about making healthier, more conscious food decisions that fit real life and real tastes. The core idea is simple: prioritize whole foods and minimize additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients that often accompany convenient options.
Proponents of Realfooding argue that this lifestyle can improve overall nutrition by focusing on foods that deliver essential nutrients without unnecessary additives. Reducing ultra-processed foods may also lower the risk of health issues such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain cardiovascular conditions. Alongside these benefits, consuming more whole foods can support digestion and energy balance, contributing to long-term wellbeing. [attribution: Realfooding movement]
