Want to detox without overthinking? Haku got your back ;)
Start by building your meals with single-ingredient foods.
(Yes, “almonds” is one ingredient. “Roasted salted almonds with canola oil and maltodextrin” is not.)
Most ultra-processed foods are made up of long ingredient lists: seed oils, emulsifiers, preservatives, sweeteners, and colorants.
These ingredients have been linked to:
Inflammation
Gut microbiome imbalance
Blood sugar spikes
Cognitive fatigue
By choosing whole, single-ingredient foods, you eliminate 90% of the junk without needing to memorize every chemical name.
What counts as a single-ingredient food?
✅ Yes | ❌ No | |
|---|---|---|
Eggs | Egg muffins with “natural flavoring” | |
Raw almonds | Flavored almonds with canola oil + sweetener | |
Chicken breast | Chicken nuggets (with 15+ ingredients) | |
Avocado | Guacamole from a packet | |
Buckwheat | Packaged soba with additives | |
Wild salmon | Imitation crab sticks |

Next time you grab a snack or packaged food, flip it around.
If the ingredient list has more than 5–7 items, or includes seed oils, artificial sweeteners, or names you can’t pronounce — it’s probably not helping your health.
Yuka is a great app to scan products. Haku used it a lot throughout his journey.
