  • Junk Foods versus Healthy Foods

    Most health care providers have been advocating for reduction of intake of junk foods among the people, as they lead to reduction of capacities to consume healthy foods. Junk healthy food are always ready to consume and therefore, the tendency of people consuming them more often than healthy foods is high. For example sugary and fatty foods like ice creams and cakes among others have been found to be most liked by children, due to their availability and easy access without wasting a lot of time. As a result, many children end up concentrating in consuming such foods in larger amounts than healthy foods. Soft drinks like sodas also have been found to be liked among all the age-groups, despite having not worthy nutritional value. Such kinds of food materials have always been habit-forming, resulting into failure to improve one’s health; as such foods have no credible nutritional values.
    Junk foods are those food materials which are perceived to be having none or very little nutritional value when consumed. As it has been revealed, junk foods’ ingredients are incapable of sustaining healthy body; which renders them somewhat useless in the body. However, junk food materials ought not to be under-rated in terms of their significance in the body. At sometimes, junk foods play important roles in human body; as they are involved in various metabolic activities, despite of them having low nutritional value. Though junk foods have been considered unhealthy for consumption, they have been found to be the most consumed foods among the people, as they are pleasurable to eat. In most cases, junk foods have been found to form addictions and obsessive as their continuous intake arouses the urge of wanting to consume them more often.
    Healthy foods are those food materials capable of improving ones health by stimulating various body metabolisms. More specifically, healthy food have very high nutritional values, resulting into their ability to improve and sustain body metabolic activities among the people. Healthy foods and junk foods have been found to complement each other in a way. Sometimes, individuals may be totally lacking appetite to eat healthy foods. As a result, they end up going for junk foods which in most cases results into increased appetites among the consumers. At other times, junk foods have been found to be accompaniments of healthy foods. This occurs in cases where the food to be taken requires soft drinks like sodas among others. For instance, bread may be healthy food, but its consumption without a soft drink may be difficult. On this basis, people may consume the bread with soda, even if it has no significant nutritional value. In this case, the soda acts as a facilitator for the successful consumption of the bread.

      I have not had any advanced tests done so, I'm probably dead inside...but for argument sake.

      I'm in seemingly great health. My doctor says I'm superman.

      I'm 42 yrs old, 6'2" and 195lbs.
      I'm a smoker. 20+ yrs
      I, do and have lived predominantly on fast food or sandwiches. Nothing decidedly "healthy". For all my adult life.
      (I did grow up on home cooked meals)
      I smoke a recreational, judicially challenged, controlled controlled substance daily....20+yrs
      My personal liquid intake consists of at least 90%mtn dew 10%coffee and other.

      I only usually eat one complete meal a day,(sometimes a big one, sometimes not) snacking freely but not excessively throughout.

      Whats that mean?

      By all common logic I should be a fat rotten tooth near dead diabetic waste.

      Cheers
