Junk Food
Hi…..now we will discuss about fast
food, woww who
does not like ??? I'm sure
everyone will like, Junk food is identical with fast food Many people
who prefer to eat fast food including me, fast food is more practical than
we should eat
traditional cuisine, fast-food consumers eat more
young people besides delicious place to
hang out and the
price is affordable.
This type of food is generally consumed by urban residents who have limited
time so that they choose to consume this food that does not need to wait for a
long time to eat.
Junk
food is kind of food that is not advisable to be consumed too often because
this type of food is lack of nutritional value but it contains high enough
calories, fat, and sugar. Junk food has become part of people’s life in the
urban areas that are very busy with the activity of work. Junk food includes a
hamburger, hot dogs, French fries, carbonated drink, candy and various types of
cake that use an artificial sweetener.
Too
often consuming junk food can cause bad impacts for your health. The low
nutritional content as well as the high calories conceived by junk food can
trigger various diseases. The most possible impact of too much consuming junk
food is obesity. Besides, junk food can also increase the risk of diabetes, a
heart attack, as well as hypertension.
A
study carried out by the University of Minnesota School of Public Health,
researched the harmful effects of junk food. This research obtain the
conclusion that eating fast food twice or more in a week have the possibility
of 27 percent larger to develop diabetes and 56 percent die because of diseases
of the heart, compared to participants who seldom or never eat fast food.
Even the participants that are known eat fast food four times or more in
a week, have the risk of death from a heart attack which increase to 80
percent. Western people are fond of consuming junk food so that their insulin
hormone remains high the rest of the day. This case can lead to metabolic
processes in the body to be disrupted as well as raising the risk of diabetes
type 2.
The
women who are pregnant should avoid eating junk food. Eating junk food is not
only bad herself but also for the baby. The baby will be so vulnerable to
diabetes and hypertension. Besides, a number of studies in china revealed that
the rate of breast cancer in the country has increased due to the modern
lifestyle that people consume junk food too often.
Furthermore,
a research from the University of Adelaide shows that eating full of junk food
for children will make their IQ two points lower than a child who does not eat
much junk food. Even though the IQ difference is not so subtle, this study
proves that children’s way of eating at age of 6 to 24 months give small but
significant effects on their IQ when they reach eight years old.
Therefore,
it is important for parents to consider the long-term impact of food that is
given to their children. In addition, some junk foods have the addictive
substances as well as containing an artificial sweetener. These substances will
make a child become more hyper and easily distracted. This will cause the
child, especially a male, to like fighting.
Although
junk foods taste good and can be obtained easily and quickly, it has enough
risk to health so that you are advised not to consume this kind of food too
often. It will be better if we include green vegetables and fruits to consume.
A study conducted by the University of Leicester found that green vegetables
and fruits are able to reduce the risk of diabetes type 2 until 14 percent.
Not just obesity
junk food causes osteoporosisEveryone knows that foods high in fat or sugar are
unhealthy in large quantities. Especially given the high rates of obesity in
America, we are hearing more and more about the importance of healthy eating
habits. It's time to factor in another reason, however: a poor diet can lead to
osteoporosis.
Ron Zernicke (dean of University of Michigan's School of Kinesiology) and Cy Frank (executive director of the Alberta Bone and Joint Health Institution) have verified that sugar and fat intake plays a role in the development of conditions like osteoporosis through the weakening of bones, which is done in two ways.

Diets high in
sugar and saturated fats prevent calcium absorption, and saturated fats can
form insoluble "soaps" that coat the intestines. Both of these
effects on the body don't allow the necessary quantity of calcium to keep bones
strong.
Unfortunately, the problems don't just lie with the sweets. Salt is just as much a culprit. Linda K. Massey, PhD, RD, and professor of human nutrition at Washington State University in Spokane, says that the heavy intake of salt in the typical American diet is a big reason why daily calcium requirements are so high. Sodium is a necessary part of the human diet, and 90 percent of our sodium is consumed via salt. However, table salt specifically causes calcium loss. In fact, 40 mg of calcium is lost through urine for every 2,300 mg of sodium (one tsp. of salt) consumed - and the average American takes in at least 4,000 mg daily.
Soda is an obvious source of sugar, but another osteoporosis-related problem comes from soda: caffeine. Massey says that 100 mg of caffeine is a loss of six milligrams of calcium. Coffee and soda are the prime sources of caffeine in the American diet, though tea is also caffeinated. Studies have shown, though, that tea does not harm, and it is suggested that tea can actually promote bone density in older women.
Zernicke and Frank have noted that osteoporosis due to poor diet will begin to affect baby boomers in large numbers if this lack-of-nutrition trend continues. Frank notes that one in three women will break a hip by age 85 from osteoporosis. More frightening still, he adds, is that about 20 percent of these women will die within a year of the injury.
Currently, about 12 million Americans have been diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 50, which is almost four percent of the country's population. With the mass of Christmas cookies and heavy dinners we all encountered over the holidays, these findings give us some food for thought.
