A Virginia Tech study finds that ultra-processed diets may prompt 18- to 21-year-olds to eat more and snack when they are not hungry, while slightly older young adults do not show the same pattern. After two weeks on an ultra-processed diet, younger participants consumed more at a buffet meal and were more likely to keep eating despite reporting no hunger, suggesting a period of heightened vulnerability in late adolescence.
The key to success in the food and agriculture sector lies in adding value to crops, according to Andrew Egala. With over 20 years of experience in farming, Egala highlights the importance of processing natural foods to enhance nutrition. This is linked to developments in counties such as Kiambu, Migori, and Busia.
