Heya....
Here's your answer.....
For every human being, good health is the necessity of living a healthy life. So, there is a need to maintain the healthy diet and healthy habits throughout the life. In this scenario, every one of us is enjoying well the taste of junk food because it is delicious, affordable and readily available. The consumption of eating junk food is increasing day by day and making us diseased.
The term ‘Junk’ was coined by Michael F. Jacobson in 1972. The junk food is the food that contains higher calories than the sugar or fat. It contains less vitamin, protein, and minerals. So, it is less nutritious and harmful for the body system. Junk food refers to generally the heavy and unhealthy diet. It always looks attractive and yummy for the people of every age group. But what they look from outside never become from inside.
People of all age groups like to eat junk food and they choose to eat it whenever they enjoy special time with family like a birthday party, marriage anniversary, etc. They easily become used to of taking soft drinks, wafers, chips, noodles, burgers, pizza, french fries, Chinese dishes, fried foods, candy, baked goods, ice creams, cookies and other varieties of fast food available in the market. No junk food provides of them anyone any nutritious value.
Consequences of Eating Junk Food
The Occasional consumption of junk food doesn’t harm the human body as the regular consumption harms. It can create the following problems to the body
The Nutritious Deficiency
Although junk food satisfies your hunger, it provides little nutrition. But the continuous dependency on nutrient-poor foods can leave you with too little appetite for more nutritious foods, increasing your risk of nutritional deficiencies. The average American diet is deficient in fiber, omega-3 fats, magnesium, and calcium, writes Dr. Steven Masley on ClinicalAdvisor.com. Highly processed foods contain little fiber, a substance your body needs for a healthy gastrointestinal tract and for control of cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are the main sources of fiber, as well as many other essential nutrients.
The Weight Gain
Natural whole foods like vegetables, whole grain products contain fewer calories by volume than junk foods. For example, a 100 g serving of plain baked potato provides 93 calories compared to 292 calories in 100 g of restaurant french fries. By eating 500 calories a day more than you need, you’ll gain about a pound each week. As the fast foods are so high in calories, frequenting fast food restaurants increases your risk of unhealthy weight gain.
The Heart Problems
Your body needs some fat for health, but junk food provides primarily fats that harm your health. These man-made, processed fats are common in commercial baked goods. Processed, packaged foods are often high in salt, or sodium. Excess sodium in your diet can increase your risk of high blood pressure and hence it leads to several heart problems.
Insulin Resistance
A diet that provides large amounts of processed carbohydrates like those in candy, commercial baked goods, and potato chips promotes the insulin resistance. In insulin resistance, some cells no longer respond to insulin, which leads to high blood sugar, increasing the risk of diabetes.
Conclusion (Speech on Effects of Junk Foods)
No one should consume the junk food beyond limits as this may cause very bad consequences to the health. It can be consumed once in a while like on any occasion. The parents should take care it that the children could not consume much junk food. More the distance from junk foods, more the healthy and happy life.

Good health is the necessity of living a healthy life for every one of us which needs to maintain a healthy diet and healthy habits throughout the life. However, the custom of eating junk food in many is increasing day by day and making our future sad and diseased especially our future generations. Parents should be very conscious towards the eating habits of their kids and children because in the childhood they never know and decide their good or bad so it is parents who are fully responsible for the good or bad eating habits among their kids. They should train their kids about eating habits from childhood and make them clear about the differences between healthy and junk foods.
