This is the continuation of my last post, 5 Dangers of Processed Foods, you can read it here https://www.5stardentalimplantindia.com/.../5-dangers-of...
Well, processed foods have evolved a lot, so 5 dangers were not sufficient, here is the list of 5 more dangers we are exposed to because of processed foods
6. They make you angry & depressed People with depression & schizophrenia have low levels of BDNF (brain derived neurotropic factor). Sugar has been shown to reduce the levels of BDNF. Processed foods also make you angry and irritable. Foods which are dense in nutrition help to calm the mind.
7. Poor Digestion Our digestive system is dependent on what is put in our mouth.
How long can our digestive system sustain junk food? They create an imbalance in the digestive tract by killing the good bacteria, use of artificial life deprived chemicals in the food with no nutritional value. Sale of antacids in pegged at 9.13 BILLION DOLLARS…. Why are people consuming so many medicines?
8. Addiction Can you eat just One chip? Hell no. The combination of sugar, fat & salt makes it highly addictive. They release the feel-good hormone in the brain, that’s why the cravings for these foods. Along with this we are bombarded with ads all the time stimulating visually. One query, can you name one natural food which has sugar, fat & salt?
9. Food Wastage & Environmental damage We feel that processed food would reduce food wastage, on the contrary, it has increased food wastage. People tend to overbuy because they are available at a discount when bought in bulk. Ultimately they are thrown in the bin because of the expiry date. Most of the processed foods are packed in plastic leading to huge environmental damage.
10. Damage to the future generation The kids are busy with their hectic schedule, the parents are busy with their schedule, there is no time to make a meal, so kids & parents often pick up a sandwich (considered "healthy") or a burger on the way to tuition or class. Come home, heat the ready to eat packets & voila dinner is ready. Our kids are blindly following the western culture, because it is "cool", however they are growing up with fake foods with no knowledge of how to cook proper food. The incidence of childhood obesity and diabetes has risen exponentially. This is causing irreversible damage to our future generations.
We are digging our own grave. Understand this. Food which does not have life, cannot give life.
It's time to buckle up, understand food, eat consciously, eat as per your body's requirements. This is the only way to stay away from hospitals & enjoy a life of health & prosperity.
