Can
Cause
The excessive salt and sugar content in junk food leads to so many diseases such as heart problems, strokes, diabetes, obesity or over weight, cancer, liver failure, skin problems and amputation of limbs.
Considering these harmful effects, is there a reason still why you can't say no to junk? Yes, there are reasons because junk food addiction is like a drug addiction, more harmful than smoking and drinking.
Harmful Effects Of Processed Foods
Recent studies have shown that food related issues are killing more people these days than smoking or drinking habits and also disabling innumerable people.
This article is specially designed for you to understand the reasons why you can't say no to junk food, once you get addicted to it.
Cravings
When
you
start
eating
junk
food,
you
start
getting
the
cravings
for
the
same.
In
other
words,
the
brain
automatically
starts
calling
for
these
foods.
Even though we understand from deep within that these junk foods are unhealthy and are injurious to health, the other side of the brain tends to disagree the same and you finally end up consuming the junk foods again.
Though some people have the ability to control these cravings for junk food, most of them do not. In spite of making up their mind to keep themselves away from unhealthy food, the junk food addiction and cravings make them consume the same again and again.
Lack
Of
Will
Power
People
who
have
a
strong
will
power
are
able
to
say
“no”
to
junk
foods
easily.
However,
many
people
do
not
have
the
will
power.
This
lack
of
will
power
makes
them
prone
to
junk
food
addiction
easily.
They have a mindset that as long as they are healthy, let them not worry about stopping junk food consumption.
They leave it to time and decide to tackle the bad situations as they come in. They forget the rightly said proverb: Prevention is better than cure.
Reward
System
Of
The
Brain
Certain
drugs
of
abuse
like
cocaine
tend
to
stimulate
the
reward
system
of
the
brain
and
people
who
consume
this,
tend
to
lose
control
and
keep
consuming
more
and
more
of
the
same.
This
is
also
true
with
junk
foods.
The salt and sugar content in these foods stimulate the reward system of the brain and make you eat more and more of these unhealthy foods.
Women are more prone to these junk foods and studies have proven that eating a healthy diet during adolescence could reverse the junk food preference in males but not females. This is because the brain area grows at its fastest during this time and is susceptible to alteration.
