Many people have become accustomed to eating processed foods today, but very few know their harmful effects. Regular consumption of foods containing preservatives and synthetic ingredients slows down the body's metabolism, leading to increased obesity and hypertension.
These foods often contain carcinogenic ingredients that increase the risk of cancer. Moreover, when the endocrine system's balance is disrupted, appetite becomes uncontrolled. As a result, controlling hunger becomes difficult, creating digestive and gastrointestinal problems in the body.
Excessive adulteration in food can create nutritional deficiencies in the body because it lacks essential vitamins and minerals. When cholesterol levels rise, the risk of heart disease increases, and inflammatory reactions become severe.
Therefore, it is necessary to change culinary habits to stay healthy and eat nutritious food instead of exorbitant fast food. Otherwise, the body's deterioration process may accelerate rapidly, which will become a threat to long-term health.
