Here are Some Scary Facts about Junk Food that Might Convince You to Eat Healthier

  • Junk foods are unhealthy, fatty, and high in sugar. For example, a can of coca cola contains about nine teaspoons of sugar.

  • Junk food isn't filling, so you tend to eat more. In fact, the fats contained in junk foods send a trigger to your brain to crave more food.

  • It places you at risk of health complications like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

  • Eating junk affects your memory in that the excess sugar and fat inhibit the functions of the brain peptide (BDNF) responsible for coordinating memory and learning.

When you cut out junk food from your diet you don't just eat healthier, you'd also lose weight and this happens because you'd be taking in less calories.

Hi, @stevenmosoes , you are so right. Continuous eating of junk food does open doors for so many health complications. Sadly, most people are unaware of this or choose to ignore it.

Thanks for stopping by and for commenting.

Oh, I like fast food, but i eat sometimes. I hope it's not bad for my health ;-)

Hi Sanach, truthfully, junk food is bad. But if its something you do once in a while and carry out regular exercises, then I dont think it would be that much of a problem.

Ahan! alright

Good thing i naturally hate junk food, so I cant add weight through this medium.
