How
In Response To The JUNK FOOD
Fast food is memorable

long as not used as food everyday. Balance food like this with more fresh and
nutritious foods, such as fruit juices, vegetables, or fresh lettuce. Some
types of junk food usually must be cooked and prepared several hours in
advance. After this had to wait a few more hours in the hot container to keep
warm, while warm temperatures it is ideal for culturing bacterial diseases on
food.
Junk food dish usually
a burger or fried chicken with a combination of bread flour, rice, fries or
mashed potatoes, and vegetables only slightly. Some shops even complement the
food package with a small glass of coke. These foods should be consumed
occasionally. However, the most well indeed still separate the protein from the
starch. Suppose you want a burger or the chicken, remove the bread, rice, or
potatoes. Message extra lettuce to offset the intake of protein. Change his
coke with water or orange juice. Do not forget to drink water before eating
oranges, so that chemical substances contained in prepared foods can be
neutralized by the lime juice.
Although we consume
junk food at least we also received nutritional intake of some vegetables and
fruits. Do not underestimate the vegetables contained in junk food, though a
bit but it is very beneficial for the body. If it is necessary to multiply the vegetables
that our bodies are met by the content of nutritious foods.
Healthy
Food In addition to Junk Food
There is a saying that
healthy is expensive. Yes, this proverb is not wrong. Healthy is a dream for
everyone, because with healthy activities will run smoothly and not be a burden
to others, especially families and even people around kita.Ingin healthy life
is not too hard as long as we can maintain a diet, exercise regularly and drink
plenty of water.
In the era of
modernization, as now certainly many people who prefer to live a practical,
well one of them by eating junk food. But it helps us to eat healthy foods in
addition to junk food and start getting these habits in children while they're
young. A simple example of mother-housewife can invite their children when
making cakes, surely the children will be happy to be involved in cooking.
Cooking together will be a toy for their own fun. In addition they will be more
satisfied with the results made their own food. In this way we will get the
kids to reduce pocket outside and improve nutritional value for their bodies.
In processing the junk
food we should avoid the use of seasoning is in the packaging and replaced it
with their own seasoning processed, for example by using onions, garlic, salt,
pepper, and other spices. Thus in food processing itself we can know the
ingredients used have been sterilized or have not. We also can add a variety of
fresh vegetables so as to enhance the appearance and can increase our appetite.
In everyday foods we
try to get a sufficient intake of calorie needs, nutrition, fiber or substance
in our body. In the meet the body's needs we can fill it with 4 healthy 5
perfect food, such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamin-rich foods, fiber foods
and milk as a complementary beverage.
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.

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.
