Fast food affects the health of seven bad

In the minds of many people, especially children, a variety of different flavors of fast food is synonymous with happy, mouth-watering delicacies, but nutritionists have nicknamed fast food - junk food.

A large number of studies have shown that a variety of developed countries, "rich people's disease" scourge of long-term harm to the root cause of some of the fast food "three high" (high calorie, high fat, high protein). Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital Children's Health Section Yang Qin, chief physician summarized the fast food and fried food on the child may bring seven kinds of impact:

Influence: cause obesity

Research has shown that often eat fast food, into the body of the high-protein, high-calorie, high-fat, contributing to the human body to get fat. As the saying goes, "long belt, short life." Obesity has become the bane of metabolic syndrome. Children who especially love to eat fast food are bound to become small fat piers due to excessive intake of fat and sugar, resulting in excess calories.

Impact: lead to "rich people disease"

Childhood obesity leads to lipid and sugar metabolism abnormalities, so that lipids, blood glucose and blood pressure rise, so that children are prone to hypertension, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes commonly known as "rich people disease". Some of the children did not develop in childhood, but buried the future of hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases of the hidden trouble.

Effects: induce cancer

"Sudan Red I" and "C", are carcinogenic toxins, can seriously jeopardize human health.

The Joint Expert Committee of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) issued a statement on March 2 in Geneva, pointing out that animals infected with too much C toxin can cause cancer and die. The cancer-causing toxin is found in a number of fried and barbecued foods, and tests conducted at the time on fried potato fries, pancakes, the brown crunchy skin on roast pork and fruit desserts, and a large number of fried fast-food products showed levels of C toxin exceeding the standard by 400 times.

Effects: cause malnutrition

Today's children love to eat sweets, drink drinks, it is easy to cause the child's sense of fullness, to the meal time appetite.

In addition, some fast food is acidic food, long-term eating can make the body fluid acidification, the human body in order to maintain the acid-base balance, will use calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and other minerals to participate in the neutralization of calcium in the body to reduce the impact on the development of children's bones, prone to rickets. Middle-aged and elderly bones due to decalcification and osteoporosis, prone to fractures, tooth loss and bone deformation.

Impact: reduce immunity

The body acid-base imbalance is destroyed also jeopardizes the immune system. Many children suffer from recurring upper respiratory tract infections, which are closely related to a love of sweets and drinking too many sugary drinks.

Ice cold drinks are even more detrimental to children, the throat is suddenly stimulated by the cold, local vasoconstriction, resistance to decline, very easy to suffer from upper respiratory tract infections. Many fast food products contain too much salt, due to the osmotic effect of salt, can kill the normal flora of the upper respiratory tract, resulting in dysbiosis.

Impact: affect the sexual function

Children who eat fast food for a long time, some five or six years old on the voice, breast development. This is because fast food causes changes in the endocrine hormones in the child's body, leading to precocious puberty and affecting the healthy development of the child.

In addition, it will also weaken the male reproductive function. Italian scientists pointed out that in the past, people generally believe that male impotence is only related to stress and smoking, in fact, diet also plays an important role. According to experts, eating fatty foods such as barbecue, sausage and meat can affect men's reproductive ability and make them less likely to fall in love.

Impact: affect intelligence

Popcorn, canned food or drinks containing high levels of lead, blood lead concentration of 5-15 micrograms / 100 milliliters, it will cause children to delay development and mental retardation. Because lead can directly destroy the function of the genetic material deoxyribonucleic acid in nerve cells, causing neurotransmitter conduction blockage, causing memory loss, dementia, mental developmental disorders.

Many fast food containing salt, saccharin, monosodium glutamate more, not only make people prone to hypertension, atherosclerosis and other diseases, affecting the blood supply to the brain tissue, brain cells are in a long-term hypoxia and ischemia, resulting in slow reaction, memory loss.

Pregnant women eat more MSG will cause fetal zinc deficiency, affecting the child's physical and neurological development after birth. The World Health Organization recommends that adults should not consume more than 4 grams of MSG per person per day, and pregnant women and infants under the age of 1 year are forbidden to eat. The oxidation of glucose in the body requires enzymes containing vitamin B1 to catalyze, and fast food containing too much sugar, the body to accelerate the oxidation of sugar and consume a large amount of vitamin B1, resulting in a lack of vitamin B1, affecting the activities of the child's central nervous system, moodiness, irritability, mental laxity and other symptoms, affecting the child's intellectual development.

Conclusion:

Since fast food, fried food has so many disadvantages, or away from the point of good. So, what is good for health to eat? It's still good to have our traditional Chinese dietary structure. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine has long pointed out that "five grains are nourishing, five animals are beneficial, five fruits are helpful, and five vegetables are filling." This is consistent with the "Food Guide Pyramid" introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1996. It can be seen that China's dietary structure pattern based on plant foods is scientific and beneficial to the health and longevity of the nation.
