Junk food contains many harmful chemicals that interferes with the body’s natural functions like hormonal balance. Junk food causes you to gain weight in these following ways:
SODIUM
Junk food contains very high levels of sodium which is known to cause thirst, and, the sodium causes the body to retain waterwater weight as it is called
SUGARS
Junk food, especially sodas, milkshakes and certain desserts and snacks contain very large quantites of sugar which then gets converted into fat by the body and is stored in the liver for later use. That ”later” use never comes and the liver can store only a small amount of fat before the body begins to look elsewhere. This type of fat is very resistant to exercise and that’s why, also, when losing weight, individuals whose diet was junk then to get ill in the very beginning of workiing out; that is the body detoxing itself; pushing out all the chemicals out of every orpheus.
UNHEALTHY OILS
OK. I hear the rumors so let’s set things straight. Oils DO NOT make people fat! At least not healthy, natural ones. Such oils are coconut oil, corn oil,palm oil, carrot oil, almond oil etc. These oils, when consumed in their natural state have amazing health benefits. But of course, everything in moderation. But the oils found in most fast foods are very unhealthy,unnatural because it has now been dehydrogenated making it more ”long lasting”. The digestion system works ten times harder than normal when these oils are ingested putting strain on the pancreas. That’s why such type 2 diabetes, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer and ulcers, and even thyroid tumors are prevalent amongst individuals who have on a junk food diet for a very long time.
SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES
White bread and pastries containing white flour have a high glycemic index which bruises the liver if too much is eaten. The problem is this: Eating your favorite donut once in a blue moon is fine, or if you’d like to eating often, then go for the healthier version of it. But when you’re having it for breakfast,lunch, dessert and dinner, there is a problem. Such foods are simply energy foods which the body has use as soon as they enter but the energy gets stored in the liver and over time, in other parts of the body like the hips,thighs, buttocks and even the in the heart which causes heart failure, heart attack and even the tearing of one of the major blood vessels! Scary.
ADVICE
So please, treat your body properly. Always eat in moderation no matter how healthy the food is. And always workout. Even if it is a few minutes a day.
