THE BAD EFFECTS OF FAST FOOD

Nowadays, the convenience of fast food is undeniable due to its substantial benefits it
offers. However, I really believe that fast food is harmful for the following reasons.

To begin with, fast food is the cause of many serious health problems. More and more
people are keen on junk food although its origin is ambiguous. Fast food contains tons of
sodium and cholesterol which increase the risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood
pressure or even cancer. Medical reports indicate that there has been an increasing number
of obesity patients each year.

Secondly, we are likely to put on weight when consuming too much fast food. Fast food is
often low in protein but high in fat and carbohydrates which can lead you to gain huge
amounts of fat and very little muscle onto your body. Thus, it is advisable to reduce the
portion of fast food intake.

Last but not least, pre-packaged food worsens your lifestyle. We cannot refuse that fast food
is addictive. However, no matter how nice something may be, addiction can never be a good
thing. Consequently, overeating fast food results in poor habits and discourages us from
having a balanced diet and exercising more often.

In conclusion, junk food brings many negative impacts to consumers. Therefore, people
should not eat too much fast food. Instead, they should be aware of their health.
