How to avoid junk foods and take healthy ones?

keethi · Mar 1, 2011

Hi friends,

It is been a practise that consumption of junk foods and fast foods are been increased now a days . May be after a shopping or at week ends we are have these foods. I remember the chat items very famous .

How much often do you take fast food and take food at hotels?
What foods are harmful to our stomach ?

Kindly bring out the importance of health issues by eating fast foods.

Hi Keerthi,

Consuming fast foods lead to over eating. This keeps on accumlating fat in our body.
We forget that what we eat = what calories we burn.

If the equation is not maintained, fat % in body increases and leads to obesity.

Other side effects:
Increased blood sugar levels
Stomach irritation - digestive power of the stomach decreases
Cholestrol levels might increase leading to heart troubles

Hi ptamil2007,

It is very true that while eating fast food we overconsume it . Thanks for throwing light on the consequences of eating fast food.:thumbsup

Junk/fast foods are not harmful, but the preservatives, colouring agents etc are.

The most common timepass at home is the packed food/carbonated drinks combo. They are caffeinated and loaded with sugar.

A Fresh juice with nil sugar and a little or no ice will serve best after a shopping session, instead of the chat items.

For your indulgence, once in a blue moon buy a five rupee lays pack and eat it for half an hour.

Just have a look at the ingredients list mentioned in the pack and think about what all these are going to do inside the body.. You can easily prolong it..
