JUNK FOOD LOVERS

JUNK FOOD LOVERS

Junk food refers to any kind of processed food which is high in calories and low in nutritional value. It includes burgers, pizzas, fries, salted crisps carbonated drinks and much more.

Unfortunately our new generation is fond of eating junk on daily basis which is putting adverse effects on their health not only physically but psychologically as well.

INTRODUCTION

I strongly believe that   all the junk food has zero nutritional value. It lacks all the essential proteins, vitamins, minerals. All the fried items are cooked in low quality oil and too much salt to make it more tasty and addictive.

EFFECTS OF JUNK FOOD ON HEALTH

When junk food is consumed on regular basis excess fat and complex sugars leads to storage of excessive fat in body resulting in obesity and cardiovascular diseases.

Childhood obesity is a major emerging problem these days.

BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS

Children who eat junk food frequently are more prone to develop behavior problems such as anger, pro social behavior, and short tempered and hyper activity.

TOOTH DECAY

Consuming processed food with high sugar can lead to tooth decay at an early age.

ALL the ready made canned tinned items claims that it has zero sugar and low fat is not true.

They contain hidden sugars and preservatives to keep them fresh for a longer date.

Junk food can be considered as a comfort food as it’s easy to cook or needs no time to cook and no doubt it tastes good but giving adverse effects on health.

AFFECTING MEMORY

Poor eating not only effect physically but also leads to memory loss in long term.

JUNK FOOD SHOULD BE BANNED

At least junk food should be banned in schools and kids must b encouraged to eat healthy food during eating hours and they must be encouraged to eat healthy food.

HOW TO PROTECT KIDS FROM JUNK FOOD

This is the sad reality that kids love to eat unhealthy and they are more happy if they are given junk food on regular basis.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR GROCERY BUDGET ON JUNK:

Kids nowadays have a lot of opportunity to eat junk, so if you think that you are depriving your kids and being harsh on them it’s not true….. Your grocery shopping must not include:

soda and beverages, chips , ready made pastas, pizza ,frozen processed meat, ready made burger patties canned fruits, jellies and  commercially packed desserts.

I am not being anti sugar here but limiting your sugar intake is extremely important.

You can fill up your kitchen counter with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Try making  own homemade cookies and desserts.

Stock your fridge with dried fruits and healthy snacks.

LIMIT TELEVISION

Don’t let your kids watch television while eating.This can distract them and they will show least interest in meal.

CONCLUSION

Junk food has adverse effects on health and should be avoided as you are what you eat and bad eating habits have bad impact on health.

Exercising should be a part of healthy lifestyle besides food.
