Ultra-processed foods are linked to health problems such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Ultra-processed foods tend to be made from ingredients you wouldn't find in a regular kitchen and are manufactured using industrial techniques. "I think we're getting too bogged down with the term ultra-processed food, we just need to make it a bit simpler," Patel told Business Insider. It's also very important to look at food labels, Patel said, so that you actually know what you're eating. Ultra-processed foods make up 73% of the US food supply.

Taking a resistant starch supplement before meals has been linked to weight loss in a small study. AdvertisementAfter a four-week break, participants were given sachets containing regular starch and asked to do the same for another eight weeks. AdvertisementStool samples taken during the study suggested that the resistant starch helped levels of several bacterial species in the participants' guts to increase. AdvertisementResistant starch converts into sugar more slowly than regular starch and means the carbs' fiber content is higher. However, more resistant starch isn't necessarily beneficial for everyone — those with irritable bowel syndrome sometimes find that it leads to bloating and discomfort, McManamon said.

For more than 10 years, she's worked 60 hours a week to pay off her student-loan debt. By the time I was 26 years old and starting my career, I had $175,000 of student-loan debt. While this helped organize my loan payments, it didn't bring down the interest rate or change the amount that I owed. I was able to apply for it every year and it's helped me make my federal student-loan payments a little more manageable. Both driving and student-loan debt can cause catastrophic damage if not handled properly.
