Part 1:
Let us take a look in to the world of healthful eating, fast food diets, and the impact that it has on the human body. Let's remember that cholesterol heart medicine is being taken by large numbers of our population. "Such drugs are the best-selling medicines in history, used by more than 13 million Americans and an additional 12 million patients around the world, producing $27.8 billion in sales in 2006". John Carey Reprinted from the Jan. 17, 2008 edition of BusinessWeek.com by special permission Copyright 2008 by The McGraw-Hill Companies. Americans are not alone in their quest for fast and unhealthy food to save time and money. As we dive deeper in to the risks of unhealthy eating choosing to take time to eat properly may be a life or death decision.
Healthful eating along with proper caloric intake and vitamins can possibly save the lives of many Americans because fast foods and poor eating habits is the cause of obesity in America.
What are the pros and cons of eating healthier vs. eating at fast food restaurants? Let's look at some of the pros of eating healthier. Food is to be consumed for one purpose, which is to give the body fuel so as to function to full potential. Think of this fuel in the same manner as the gasoline that is put into a car. The higher the fuel grade the more efficient the car will run therefore; the better the quality of food that we eat, the better our bodies will function. On the other hand if the diet or fuel for the body is full of fast food, it cannot perform like a race car. People do not deliberately put water in the gasoline for the car that they drive to work, so why fill the body with low-grade foods?
There are different types of foods that are best for the body and meals should be balanced throughout the day. Within these types of foods are food groups that chart out a daily balanced intake of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins. Proper intake of these certain foods such as; fish, chicken, beef, fruits, vegetables, oats, and rice make up a balanced diet. These foods are full of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that assist the body's daily health and fitness. When the body is lacking something from these groups there is a deficiency in the body's healthy production of amino acids. Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. The body's muscles rely heavily on large amounts of protein for muscle repair. Without healthy muscles motion is difficult and taxing on the body.
So, what are some of the drawbacks of eating fast food in a daily diet? I think most would agree that unhealthy and fast foods taste alluring to the pallet. Fast foods are full of saturated fats; sugars, salt and preservatives that make it taste much better. The brain tells the body to accept taste over health. However, with this amazing taste comes a verifiable amount of unhealthy effects on the body. There is negative weight gain, high cholesterol, sickness, infection, and heart disease. In Part 2 we will discuss examples of what some foods consist of other then the satisfying taste.
