Have you started eating healthy? With so many processed foods filling shelves, health problems are on the rise. From digestive issues to chronic illnesses, the connection between food and health is becoming harder to ignore. One shift that’s becoming popular is the move toward additive-free eating; a choice many are making to prevent health problems before they start.

Most people choose food based on speed and ease. Ready meals, snacks, and bottled drinks are everywhere, and they save time. However, many are packed with artificial preservatives, food colourings, thickeners, and taste boosters. These additives help food last longer and taste better, but studies have linked long-term use to inflammation, hormone changes, digestive problems, and even some cancers. That’s why more consumers are looking for clean, simple ingredients they can trust.

Additive-free foods don’t use synthetic preservatives, colours, or flavours. They’re made from basic, whole ingredients that are close to their natural form. According to Dr Dhara Panchal, Founder & Director, Nitzana, “Eating additive-free means choosing products made without unnecessary chemicals. Traditional cooking methods using ingredients like jaggery, cold-pressed oils, and rock salt. These are both healthy and safe.”
