Answers
Explanation:
Food is the most important thing in our lives besides water. Moreover, healthy eating means eating a variety of food that gives you the nutrients you need to maintain your health, feel good, and have energy. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrate, fat, water, vitamin, and minerals.
Nutrition is important for everyone. Other than nutrition, metabolism is also related with healthy eating. Metabolism is an energy that is used to burn fat or calories you take everyday. Each of us has different types of metabolism; high metabolism or low metabolism. For people who are in high metabolism, they do not have worry about the amount of calories that they are taking. This is because, when we have high metabolism, the energy will burn the calories in our body fast. However, for a person that has low metabolism, they must worry about the total of calories that they are taking, if it doesn't burn fast it will become fat in our body. When combined with being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight, eating well is an excellent way to help your body stay strong and healthy. However, many people do not care about the types, variety, and amounts of food they are taking every day. Nowadays, the population of people eating unhealthy food is more than people who are eating healthy food. The population is significantly different and increase from year to year. This statement proved by the summary of Consumer Food Service Market Research 2011 in Malaysia. Recovering from the economic crisis in 2008-2009, Malaysians spent more on eating out in 2011. More customers were willing to pay for an expensive food, in full-service restaurants, café or fast food outlets. Customers did not mind paying for an irregular treat for themselves or their family members. Operators offered food in unusual parts of the day, food preparation to consumers who do not mind spending as a group (Market Research on Food Service, 2011). Based on this research, we know that many people in this state do not care too much about the health of food they are taking every day. Some of them are willing to buy fast food and junk food for their family, without thinking of the importance of health or the side effect that their family will face in the future.
There is a lot of unhealthy food available. McDonald’s, KFC’s, Pizza Hut’s, Kenny Roger’s, and many more brands are becoming top choices for people who are hungry. Other than fast food restaurant, junk food, canned food or snacks may also be included in the unhealthy food category.
