Dear Viewers, Nowadays its been very hot in various parts of the country, it would be
good if I could share my views and opinions on various eatables to be avoided
during the summer and even junk & fast foods, aerated drinks etc.. I would like to specifically mention about the
pros and cons of various food items as shall start with the food items which
you have to avoid and finally about the top eatables for this summer.


Junk
food or Fast Food is ain't foods which you obtain or procure from fast food
restaurants, street sellers, hotels etc…
it also includes foods such as potato chips, lays, fried bakery items. Foods
with sugar such as packaged cupcakes, pastry are also junk food. Foods that are
very rich in saturated fats, sodium as well as refined sugar mainly provide
little amount of nutritional value or sometimes nil . Saturated fats and trans
fats, which are mainly found in fast food, gets secreted throughout your body
and can lead to increase in fat contents in your blood, and results in high
blood pressure, cholesterol etc... These items can also become a part for
causing heart disease, chest pain and other diseases. These food items
are highly rich in calcium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate and related to salt and these require more enzymes to digest
properly but it never gets secreted.
Due
to excessive usage of salt in these foods , after consumption once it enters in
your body that can result in water retention and this finally lead to BP,
Urinary Infection. The body requires a small intake of sodium to function
properly, around 2400 milligrams a day. When it exceeds the 2400 milligrams it
leads to trouble and serious illness. The kidneys cannot properly convert the
excess to waste, resulting in edema and kidney disease. And basically the chips
, lays , kurkure etc.. includes large amount of carbohydrates and various foods
like mixtures, sweets, cakes are also made with the help of Ajinomoto, which
helps the company increase their revenue, but people don’t know its getting
addicted.
Refined
sugar is slowly associated tooth decay because sugar breaks down calcium. This
means excess sugar not only causes cavities, and but also makes decay of tooth
very easily. Excess of sugar enters the bloodstream as fatty acids, which the
body stores as fat. Eating too much sugar makes you fat. This fatty items is
very difficult to burn off and can ultimately result in obesity, heart disease
and other health issues.
Though many people enjoy eating junk food ,
fast foods, soft drinks as it tastes great, the health consequences can be
serious, and can results in constipation, urinary problems, kidney issues etc..
and even as I had mentioned earlier
about calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate it can lead to crackdown of gall
bladder as these enzymes deposits and turns into gall bladder stones. A few
examples of foods often considered to be junk food include fast food, sweets
such as ice cream, prepackaged treats, soda, and potato chips, tetra pack fruit juices etc…..
Many people skip breakfast or other meals throughout the
day, choosing instead to grab a quick snack or a soft drink. In addition, junk
food can cause moodiness, and makes it difficult to get enough sleep at night
and due to lack of proper sleep tiredness, lazy moods, etc.. arises in the very
next day morning
People who eat a lot of junk food
tend to gain weight quickly, which can lead to obesity over time this extra
weight then has an impact on the health of the rest of the body. Eating junk
food and soft drinks can cause one to develop heart strokes, insulin
resistance, which is one of the risk factors for diabetes, BP etc…
There are few food items or drinks which i would like to
mention are tender coconut which are in red color have huge amount of glucose ,
Nanari syrup, Lemon Sarbath ,Watermelon juice, Tulasi Tea, Herbal, hibiscus
tea, coriander tea, etc…Please try to avoid sugar instead add more honey and
jaggery.
Thank you readers for spending time to read this article!
