Why Eat Well? The Dangers Of Bad Eating
.
Serious illnesses such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes have been increasing dangerously in the past 5 decades. .
.
There is no secret about where the guilty part lies: It sits directly on your plate, in the form of the food we consume!
.
As an alarming example, our consumption of sugar has multiplied more than 10-fold fewer than one hundred years. Many individuals have developed an addiction for soda/soft drinks, cakes, alcohol, processed snacks and such like.
.
Sugar is responsible for causing the body grievious harm: While it generates a boost of energy in the body, this is temporary. The corresponding trigger in insulin removes the sugar from the blood stream thus rapidly creating a new need for more sugar. This marks the start of a vicious circle.
.
Additionally, food addictions of all sorts also impact on our ability to concentrate and think clearly. Our minds cloud over with cravings.
.
To sum it up, bad eating might bring a temporary moment of happiness as we forget our immediate tensions. Who has never craved for a sweet something when the pressure at work/at home builds up? Or after a long day? And we all know it: the positive effects don’t last.
