Do You Like Junk Food

Written by Geoff on November 15th, 2009

It is a sure fact that nearly everyone loves junk food, so what are the negatives and what are the positives (if any) to eating it?

Negatives

Starting with these first, not to put anyone off the food but just so we can save the best bit till last.

Lack of Energy

This is really the best negative out there because it is only short term and if you stop munching on all of that junk food it will pass. Junk food does certainly not give us all of the nutrients that we need to carry on which is why you can start to feel a bit weak after a while.

A Lack Of Concentration

This is another thing that is most likely to be a short term thing but can lead on to be long term. Junk food contains a lot of oil which is actually the thing that makes you feel tired and unable to concentrate. The thing is, oxygen is not passing through your bloodstream it can actually haver an effect on the brain cells.

The Awful Heart Disease

This certainly seems to be the one that the big companies look into the most. This is used in almost every anti-junk food campaign simply because it can kill. What happens is plaque forms within the arteries which then makes the heart work a lot faster than it usually would so the blood coming in is a lot lower.

Positives

There is another plus side and that is that it tastes a lot better than the average salad! By the looks of things there are more negative than there are positives. Junk food has been linked to depression in that it can raise your mood for a while, not sure if that is a good thing or not.

As long as you have junk food in moderation there is nothing wrong with it, my personal choice is to go to my favourite Indian restaurant.
