<\/p>\n\u201cGo to hell\u201d Is a response I received from Aciro Theresa a friend of mine at campus after telling her to stop eating junk foods.\u201cThere is no meal as delicious as junk food, I cannot do without it, I usually take junk, I do love it\u201d said Theresa.<\/p>\n
Junk foods\/fast foods, are foods which are highly processed with different additions, chemicals, they are satisfying but add little nutrients to body.Just like my friend Theresa, there are many people who cannot spend a month without eating junk foods. These are\u00a0 mostly campus students, who find life hard to cook ordinary food but rather enjoy unhealthy, discretionary\u00a0 food as it is easily accessible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, none of us can stop people from\u00a0 consuming, but rather providing implications resulting from over consumption of junk.For that purpose, I had to consult a doctor to assist such people\u00a0 to understand the implications coming along with eating too much junk as\u00a0 well as providing solutions to such implications.<\/p>\n
Routine junk food (discretionary, unhealthy) consumption trait to health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n According to Doctor Joseph kanakulya of mulango hospital, cure medical center and Lisa pharmacy in kabalagala who works as a clinician.<\/p>\n . The first implication of junk food is\u00a0Cordial vascular health.<\/strong>\u00a0(Health of the heart , blood vessels and\u00a0 blood circulation). Due to being highly processed, junk foods contains\u00a0 carbohydrates(sugars), sodium(salt) and oil content,\u00a0 if not excising, all oil is stored as fat in the body.<\/p>\n Thus ending in the heart or Liver, leading to non-alcoholic Liver disease or proving in the vessels, then narrows ( artherosclerosis ), which makes the heart to pump more causing cordial conditions. Resulting\u00a0 into heart diseases like hypertension . This causeses enlargement of the heart or weakening of the heart muscles due to work overload.<\/p>\n .\u00a0Diabetes<\/strong>,excessive sugars and added weight affect the rate at which your body controls\u00a0 sugar levels .The more fats stored in the body the more risk of getting type 2 diabetes. In the body we have an organ called pancreas which produces insulin to lower the sugar in the blood<\/p>\n Due to too much fats, the body stops responding to the fats thus the pancreas can no longer produce enough insulin to break down the fats hence leading to obesity.<\/p>\n You get high blood sugar, high blood pressure and your liver is damaged due to fats stored which take space for the cells. The liver helps to take out toxins, drugs,\u00a0 digest food using the cell but when fat is there, the cells are reduced.<\/p>\n . The brain<\/strong>, . The brain needs a lot of water and nutrients to function well and stay alert. But junk foods have low nutritional value.\u00a0 due to lack of vitamin, water, normal carbohydrate and proteins, the brain go through oxidative stress.<\/p>\n The brain produces chemicals which are coming from oil rather than energy coming from ordinary food. These restores in the brain leading to\u00a0 drowsiness, loss of concentration,\u00a0 poor memory,depression, fatigue etc. for example, people who sleep a lot,\u00a0 or are obesity.<\/p>\n .Acne or pimples .\u00a0 pimples are\u00a0 mainly in adolescents. Acne is caused by excessive fat stored under your skin . people who enjoy junk food\u00a0 end up having pimples.<\/p>\n .\u00a0Addiction<\/strong>, People who eat junk foods end up being addicted to it. They lack appetite for other value added foods the more you crave for them, the less nutrition you get .<\/p>\n How to handle implications of excessive junk consumption<\/strong>\u00a0?<\/p>\n .Do exercise<\/strong>, exercise to increase the rate at which fats can be broken down into energy.<\/p>\n Therefore, the energy you are burning comes from the fat you stored, so the fats goes\u00a0 on reducing.<\/p>\n . Drink water<\/strong>, take at least three litres of water . For instance,\u00a0 when you pure oil on water it cannot sink, water and fat can never mix. The more water content in your body, the less fat you create.<\/p>\n . Eat vitamins,\u00a0 fruits and vegetables contains vitamins . These vitamins increase metabolism since they help in breaking foods easier and fast.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nakiwalabarbra.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dsc_0230816886797.jpg?w=1024\")
