Why You Should Avoid Eating Fast Foods

By Jake Long


Ever seen a picture of your blood plasma after you've eaten a meal from McDonald's or Burger King? It is not a pleasant picture. It looks thick and cloudy. Fast foods are loaded with fat and sodium. They use white bread and rolls, which means they have used white processed flour, with few nutriments in them.

And how does one feel after a Big Mac and french fries? You want a sleep, don't you? All that fat will drag you down and make you feel slow.

Going on a diet is hard, but think about some of the things which you do when you go on a diet. You eliminate those fatty, processed, high-sodium foods. You eat less, true. But you also eat more raw vegetables and fruit. You drink water. And the outcome of eating this way are increased energy, reduced calls for sleep. Ready-made foods, with their high fat content are hard to digest. They take a gigantic quantity of the body's energy to consume. When your body's energy isn't used up digesting all that fat, it's available for YOU - for work, play, love, exercise - put simply, for LIFE.

These are not drastic concepts. You don't have to make drastic changes in your way of life. But take a good look at what you consume without even pondering it. We reach for the potato chips, or stop at McDonald's or Taco Bell when we're hungry and we want something in a hurry.

It is much simpler these days to have snacks available so you don't have to stop at a junk food place when you are hungry. If you are on the road a lot , and get hungry , pick up a bag of veggies or apple slices at a grocery store. Yes, it's easier to drive up to Wendy's, but taking one or two extra minutes, not to mention a few extra steps, will be definitely worth it in vigorousness and energy.
