Number check

Check food labels for numbers and other foreign ingredients. These are indicative of what has been added during processing to preserve shelf-life and add colour and flavour. Preservatives are added to stop bacteria from growing on food in order to increase its shelf-life. Unfortunately, when we eat preservatives, they affect the good bacteria balance in our digestive systems that we need for digestion, immunity and mental wellbeing. You would be shocked how many numbers you’ll find in the likes of sandwich ham, bags of grated cheese, bread, biscuits and dried fruit.
