The Effects of Junk Food

We all know their bad for us but we still seem to keep eating them. It's funny because we as people all seem to want the good things now! We would rather have something that feels good at the current moment than discipline ourselves to have better effects in the long run. We see this in every aspect of life in today's world and it's sad. Everybody want's the good things in life but few are willing to pay the price to get them. If you want to live healthy you need to learn to stay away from junk food. If your going to the gym and working really hard to get in good shape but your eating junk food every day your pretty much defeating the purpose.

Eating too much junk food will lead to less energy and you will realize that you get exhausted really easy when doing physical activity. Junk food also causes you to crave more food and leads to over eating. Like I have said in recent posts you should feed yourself with meals throughout the day rather than snacking a lot throughout the day and eating 2 or 3 meals because when you eat more meals your metabolism stays at a steady state resulting in using that food for energy rather than storing it as fat.

Junk foods also have high amounts of cholesterol which leads to an unhealthy heart. The heart is the main organ needed to pump blood throughout the body so obviously it's important to keep your heart in healthy condition. Junk food leads to a build up of plaque in the arteries. As a simple guideline you should stay away from foods that taste to salty or to sweet. It's okay to have something sweet here and there but when you eat sweets on a regular basis you endanger yourself. So learn to eat healthy for your own benefit!
