Johnson explains that the consumption of sugary beverages, snacks, and processed foods can contribute to weight gain and various health issues. When buying packaged foods, read the nutrition labels and ingredients list, she advises, and look for products with minimal additives and low levels of added sugars, sodium, and unhealthy fats.
