Junk food is dangerous for our bodies
Hi Mate,
Good Morning! It is just another morning when everyone started early. Just like any other morning when the parents are rushing for work and children for their school. The one voice that is distinctly heard is, “have you had your milk, put your tiffin in your bag, had your almonds or don’t forget your apple dear! These are all the indications of starting your day right as far as eating healthy food is concerned.
Yes other good habits do matter, exercising, jogging, walking, meditating etc.
But what use is all the exercising if you are not cautious about what you are dumping inside this precious body of yours. Eating “junk”, is the word not enough for us to understand that junk is exactly what it means and junk food is definitely useless for our body. We can decisively avoid it at all cost. Without feeling that we are missing something really significant, we can comfortably ignore it. Such food doesn’t give us any energy, it has no vitamins, it has no minerals. And it is completely fatal in the longer run. Junk food is mainly made up of a lot of fat and trans fat, spices, excessive salt, preservatives in some cases and artificial flavours that may make it taste like fruit or cheese.
But the truth is that junk food is food minus all the goodness required by our body. A healthy person’s daily requirement of calories on an average is 1600 to 2000 cal, And if we come to calculate the calories in a pizza we treat ourselves with every now and then; or a weekend lunch we fondly eat with our otherwise busy family, just to compensate for the less time we spend with each other, then this pizza will probably complete out calorie requirement for the entire day, or may be even more. So watch what you eat because the calories that you take in during the day are very important if we want to maintain our optimal weight. The BMI, that is the Body Mass Index of a person, is an essential figure to be noted if you want to maintain a fit and healthy body.
This does not mean that you keep a calorie meter in your pocket. All I am saying is that choosing to eat healthy and chucking the unhealthy junk is all you need to do, consciously and with a strong determination. The food that looks and smells heavenly, must be eaten, but in very little quantity. If it is tempting you and backing you to consume it, then definitely it is the junk food! Such food is the type of food that looks rich, is creamy and has lovely aroma oozing out of it.
Conversely, food that is colourful looks ordinary and has no cream or little oil is the food that you need to stick to. Raw vegetables & fruits are what our digestive system is used to digest, since the inception of humans from homo-sapiens. From food getting cooked accidently, to the point where delicacies that are made using cream, ghee or butter by best of chefs, we have moved to a point where our body must work really hard to digest this fat-loaded food. Now that we have included such food in our diet, any amount of extensive exerting will not make too much of a positive impact on the body. We add to our problems and weight to our bellies. Such people joke about it and say; it is the sign of prosperity and richness! But reality is that if given a chance they would be the first ones to want to look fit and handsome. It is not that it makes any difference on anyone. It is after all the person himself who is going to be benefitting from being fit, healthy and handsome.
Eating junk food and spoiling one’s own health is in one’s own hands. Alternately choosing healthy food and staying fit is in the same very hands too. It is ones will-power, awareness and conscious decision making that makes all the difference. We become what we eat. And it is not just how we look after we have accumulated all the fat and flab, becoming bulky also makes our thinking and working slow. It makes us lethargic and less productive. Is this how we hope to live, the question? We all know the answer. Who wants to be that last person to get appraised in his office? According to one of the researches made by students a person who is good looking and of a pleasing personality is bound to earn more than people who are over-weight and less prettier so to say.
But I say that good looks are very important as they are the packaging of the best product inside it. After all a book is known by its cover! And a healthy body has a healthy mind in it. All these studies are after all seem to be true; I see no counter argument for them. And Thus I end it here by saying that one must use his discretion to wisely choose what one wants from life. It is one life we get, and we eat to live and not live to eat.
Thank you!
Hope This Helps You....
