Can you imagine a kid who shuns fast food restaurants and says no to candy? But it's a battle you are fighting and it is up to you to plan your ground strategy.
Let's take a minute to define junk food. Pre-packaged snack food, chocolates and packaged sweets, carbonated soft drinks, and fast food like pizza and burgers are all examples of junk food. Manufacturers process the raw ingredients, often adding hydrogenated oils, trans-fats and monosodium glutamate to enhance taste and prolong the shelf life of the product.
A high intake of trans-fat can raise low-density cholesterol levels and increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. Trans-fats are mostly found in fast food items like French fries, cakes, hamburgers and in packaged foods such as crackers, chips, cookies and biscuits.
