We usually associate unhealthy diets with fat, but there are a number of health consequences that are closely related to dietary deficiencies. Of course, you will notice an increase in weight, but sometimes you may need to visit a doctor. Cardiovascular diseases are not visible to the eye, like folds on the sides, but they require even more attention. To protect your health and understand what diseases can be diet-related, study this information from nutritionists.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis occurs when bones become brittle and weak. There are several different risk factors that can lead to the development of osteoporosis. Some of these are associated with nutritional deficiencies such as calcium and vitamin D deficiencies and excessive alcohol consumption. The best sources of calcium are plant-based foods, as well as low-fat milk and yogurt. However, if calcium and vitamin D levels are too low, vitamin supplements may be required. 
Eating disorders
An unhealthy diet can lead to symptoms of an eating disorder. Severely limiting the amount of calories consumed causes obsessive thoughts and behaviors associated with an excessive desire for thinness, bordering on anorexia. If you deprive your brain of the nutrients it needs, you may also experience overeating, and the feeling of shame afterwards may make you want to get rid of food. This can cause inflammation and create a vicious circle. The body has ways to compensate for dietary restrictions, so the wrong diet is guaranteed to affect your physical and mental well-being.
Chronic constipation
Constipation may not seem like a serious disorder to you, but if the condition turns out to be chronic, it significantly reduces the quality of life. Various factors can lead to constipation, including an insufficient amount of fiber or water in the diet. Plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are full of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber. It is recommended to eat up to thirty grams of dietary fiber a day, but many do not get even half of what they need. Increase your fiber intake gradually to avoid bloating and gas. Remember that water is essential for normal digestion, so as fiber increases, increase your fluid levels as well. 
Obesity
The body must receive a balanced amount of macronutrients, micronutrients and electrolytes. If there is no balance, you may experience systemic disorders such as obesity. Metabolism is a complex process that is directly related to nutrition. 
Dark urine with a pungent odor
If you are thirsty, urinate more often and notice that the urine is dark and with a pungent smell, this indicates a lack of fluid. Avoid soda, sugar coffee and energy drinks - drink water, tea without sugar, or skim milk. 
Increased risk of breast cancer
Numerous chronic diseases are the result of decades of not proper nutrition and lack of activity. For example, breast cancer can be prevented by avoiding alcohol. 
Indigestion
Certain foods have a negative effect on the esophagus, which leads to increased heartburn. Such products include chocolate, caffeine, mint. Acidic foods exacerbate indigestion. 
Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
An improper diet high in sugar and saturated fat has been linked to plaque in the arteries, leading to heart attack, stroke, abnormal blood lipids, or atherosclerosis. 
Diabetes
All products are processed in the body into sugar, the only exception is pure protein, which is used by the body differently. However, the most dangerous is pure sugar - it is used by the body faster and causes a spike in glucose. 
Depression
It's important to understand that a diet rich in healthy fats, omega-3 fatty acids, and nutrients can affect mood as well. Lack of omega-3s and magnesium leads to depression, mood swings, and general gloom. Good sources of healthy fats include salmon, cod, fish fat, walnuts, chia or flax seeds. 
Hair loss
Insufficient protein intake can damage the hair structure. The lack of iron leads to the same situation. To keep your curls long and strong, try to eat a balanced diet. 
Liver disease
Liver disease may not be alcohol-related. It is a disorder arising from sugar drinks, processed foods, and foods rich in saturated fat. 
Impaired wound healing
Not getting enough protein, calories, or vitamin C can cause delayed wound healing. Try to eat lean protein and watch your vitamin C intake. bell pepper or brussels sprouts. 
Anemia
To prevent anemia, try to include iron-rich foods such as spinach, lean protein, beans, prunes, lentils, and tofu in your diet. Use nutritional supplements as needed. On this account, you can consult your doctor. Plus, you should eat fewer junk food and empty calories. 
A weakened immune system
A weakened immune system can be associated with a poor diet. Nutritional deficiencies make your body less responsive to infections and unable to defend against disease. Add protein, zinc, vitamins A, C and E to your diet. To get them, eat chicken, eggs, meat, tofu, seafood, nuts, seeds, herbs, citrus fruits, avocados, and peppers. 
Brittle nails
If you suffer from brittle nails, this indicates a lack of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Studies have shown that only twelve percent of adults eat enough fruits and only nine percent eat vegetables. 
Acne
A diet rich in processed foods and sweets can lead to acne because these foods fuel inflammation. The most common sources of the problem are cow's milk, fast food and convenience foods. Avoid white bread, potatoes and junk food, eat whole grains, sweet potatoes, beans, vegetables. 
Goiter
Goiter is aggravated by eating a lot of meat, as well as by drinking too much alcohol. 
Stomach ulcer
The ulcer does not appear due to nutritional deficiencies, but because of them, it may well worsen. The stomach is already acidic, and some foods increase acidity to critical levels. For example, caffeine, spicy and fried foods work this way. 
Dental problems
Enamel decay, periodontitis, tooth decay, and other problems can be associated with dietary deficiencies. If you eat a lot of processed foods and drink soda all the time, your teeth will inevitably suffer.
In 2011, there were 850 thousand obese people in Russia, in 2016 - already 1.24 million. It turns out that in just 5 years the number of overweight people has grown by 45%. The main reason for this situation is unhealthy diet.
Every day I go to the store and see how people put sausage, sweets, white bread, sauces and other "harmful things" into the carts. Delicious food helps to dilute the gray routine, but you don't want to think about the sad consequences for health. In vain.
Why do people eat junk food
Most people know about the negative consequences of unhealthy diet, read smart books and magazines, watch TV programs about health. And they still eat up stress with sweets, warm up semi-finished products for breakfast, and cook something fat for dinner.
Interesting! There is no shortage of food in stores today. Healthy food even people with a small budget can buy. So, raw meat is cheaper than smoked sausage. Cereals, many vegetables and fruits, herbs, fermented milk drinks are sold at affordable prices. But, despite this, people are too lazy to cook on their own and continue to buy unhealthy foods!
Basically, the reasons for poor nutrition lie in the head. Although the external environment also influences the internal choice. Why do people deliberately harm their health?
The proliferation of fast food chains
Even 7 years ago there were only 3 McDonald's outlets in my city, and today there are more than 10. Plus, all sorts of Burger Kings, KFC, chain pizzerias and other eateries appeared.
Most of my friends work hard and get very tired. Therefore, they succumb to the temptation of fast foods. After all, the latter offer hearty snacks quickly and at affordable prices.
Interesting fact! In 2017, the leading countries in terms of the number of obese persons included, in particular, the United States, Egypt, and South Africa. In these states, the fast food market is very developed and is popular with the population.
Negative emotions
Junk food is usually high in simple sugars and causes sudden jump blood glucose. As a result, you experience a surge of energy. With the help of sweets, a person fights not only stress, but also boredom, routine, and a sense of loneliness.
Money opens access to alternative entertainment: tourism, cinema, theaters and water parks, massage, spa. And what do poor people advise? Walking down the street, reading books. However, walking to the same places quickly gets boring. Knowledge workers have no desire to strain tired eyes and read something in the evening. Poor people, whatever one may say, often choose junk food to cheer up.
Accelerated pace of life
People choose the wrong food and do not follow the regime because they live in a rush. Useful and delicious food usually needs to be cooked.
The increased workload often robs an employee of a legitimate lunch break. Only in the evening there is a chance to satisfy your hunger.
In the commercials, consumers of chips, chocolate and other goodies look healthy and beautiful. Smooth skin, silky hair, sparkle in the eyes, smile. An installation creeps into the viewer's subconscious mind: "If I eat this, nothing bad will happen."
Traditions
Improper children's nutrition starts with family holidays. New Year can not do without mayonnaise salad "Olivier", Birthday - without a cream cake. And in the summer it is customary to go to barbecues with friends and drink beer. Nobody wants to be a black sheep and limit themselves while others are having fun.
And this is not the whole list of reasons why people eat unhealthy foods.
4 types of malnutrition
Not only the love of fast food is harmful to health. What types of malnutrition are identified by doctors and nutritionists?
High-calorie diet
This is the regular and excessive consumption of high-calorie foods. Both harmful and beneficial. The latter include nuts, honey, dried fruits, butter, urbech. The body does not have time to spend the calories received from food and stores the excess on the stomach and hips.
Important! The daily calorie intake for men engaged in mental work is 2800–3000 kcal, and for women - 2400–2600 kcal.
Unbalanced diet
The same foods can be attributed to both correct and unhealthy nutrition. The diet should be varied, include all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Fruits, berries and vegetables are rich in ascorbic acid, meat and fish - in B vitamins, greens - in calcium. In addition, the body needs unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, lactic acid and bifidobacteria.
Violation of the regime
Incorrect eating habits lead to a violation of the regime:
- hearty dinner after 19:00;
- constant snacks on the go;
- skipping breakfast;
- alternation of hunger strike and overeating;
- eating food while working at a computer or watching TV;
- too long or short intervals between meals.
In fact, a person can eat healthy foods... However, due to a violation of the regime, food is absorbed incorrectly, and the organs of the gastrointestinal tract suffer. For example, with a long break, a large amount of gastric juice is secreted. It irritates the mucous membrane and provokes inflammation.
Passion for diets
Severe dietary restrictions are a gross interference in the well-established processes of digestion and metabolism.
Mono diets are especially dangerous when a person consumes only one product. The body receives less necessary vitamins and trace elements, which affects the general well-being, the condition of the skin and hair. Immunity decreases.
Improper nutrition is the path to chronic disease
Health problems due to poor nutrition are not the invention of journalists and marketers. There are many scientific works, which confirm the well-known proverb: "You are what you eat." Below I will list common diseases that arise from poor nutrition.
Obesity
What leads to 100% unhealthy diet is overweight. A group of scientists from Harvard Medical School (USA, 2011) conducted a large-scale study and found out how diet affects weight change in women and men.
Obesity is encountered by people who regularly consumed the following foods:
- potato;
- bakery products made from premium flour;
- sweets;
- red meat and smoked meats.
The average rate of weight gain in people over 50 years old with such a diet is 0.5 kg per year. Likewise, the risk of obesity increases with lack of exercise, late dinners and long intervals between meals.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
90% of cases of the disease are diabetes mellitus of the second, not the first type. A key factor in its development is obesity, which, as we have already found out, arises from improper diet.
When eating sweet foods, the pancreas actively produces the hormone insulin. If a person is fond of sweets, then the load on the organ increases. Over time, insulin is produced in smaller quantities, and the sensitivity of the cells of the pancreas to it decreases. This is how type 2 diabetes develops.
Important! According to scientific article, published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society (UK, 2017), obesity in children increases the risk of developing diabetes mellitus 2 types 4 times.
Gastritis, stomach ulcer
Many sources indicate that 85-90% of cases of gastritis and ulcers are associated with the activity of the microorganism helicobacter pylori... Therefore, people mistakenly believe that the wrong diet has nothing to do with it.
Scientists at the Bethesda University of Medical Sciences (USA, 2007) conducted a study of how the properties of helicobacter pylori change depending on the host's nutrition. It turned out that a diet high in salt increases the activity of this bacterium, making it aggressive.
Important! Helicobacter pylori is an opportunistic pathogen that is present in the stomach of most people. However, 90% of carriers of the bacterium do not show symptoms of gastritis. Disruption of healthy intestinal microflora due to poor nutrition can lead to infection.
Atherosclerosis
Improper eating habits lead to deterioration of the condition of the blood vessels... This is the conclusion reached by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania. They selected 9 volunteers for the experiment.
At the first stage, the participants ate from 08:00 to 19:00, at the second - from 12:00 to 23:00. It turned out that late dinners lead to an increase in blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
And also scientists have repeatedly identified the relationship of malnutrition with other diseases: liver and kidney, nervous system, bones, thyroid gland. Unhealthy food is also harmful in the short term. Due to the lack of certain vitamins and microelements, a person is easily irritated, gets tired quickly, and has problems with the skin and hair.
Food is an integral part of our life, giving us pleasure and filling the body with substances necessary for its life. The quality of the food consumed, the calorie content of the diet and the diet have a direct impact on our health, both physical and mental. According to statistics, the state human body about 50% depends on the lifestyle and nutrition as well. Indiscriminate, excess in food or its deficiency over time lead to rather sad consequences in the form various diseases... Especially for the Day of Healthy Eating and Avoiding Excesses in Food, celebrated in Russia on June 2, MedAboutMe will tell you what diseases an irresponsible approach to your diet can turn into.
The importance of proper nutrition for health
Almost all functions of the human body are somehow related to nutrition. Food is a source of energy, vitamins, minerals, macro- and microelements, as well as many other irreplaceable substances. Wrong negatively affects human health, regardless of age and the initial state of his body. Overeating or insufficient intake of nutrients leads to increased fatigue, decreased performance, weakened immunity, and even provokes premature aging.
According to the staff of the University of Washington, approximately 20% of all deaths in the world in one way or another are due to malnutrition. Moreover, people of various incomes are among those affected by their diet. Some are deficient in nutrients due to the scarcity of their diet, while others are abusing junk food. Scientists argue that the main health risks are overconsumption of salt, saturated and trans fats, lack of fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts in the diet, omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids and whole grains. But let's consider in the development of which diseases and disorders, malnutrition is one of the key factors.
The process of processing and assimilation of food largely depends on the functioning of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. Improper nutrition primarily affects the state of this particular system of our body. It can cause development various pathologies: from gastritis to liver cirrhosis. Diarrhea, constipation, heaviness in the abdomen, bloating or mild are problems that anyone can face. When these symptoms appear, you need to sound the alarm and go to the doctor.
Improper nutrition dramatically increases the risk of chronic constipation. This is due to a lack of fiber and water in the diet. To avoid such problems, you need to eat vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains all year round, which are rich not only in fiber, but also in a lot of useful vitamins, minerals, etc.
# 2. Obesity
Overweight problems are a scourge of modern society. Sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work and, of course, unhealthy diet leads to a rapid increase in body weight. Moreover, obesity can be caused not only by the abuse of fatty and high-carbohydrate foods, but also by the lack of a certain diet. Weight gain is facilitated by late heavy dinners and large gaps between meals, forcing the body to turn on the economy mode and accumulate fat in reserve.
Obesity in itself is a disease, but in addition, it provokes the development of other more serious pathologies. Excess weight negatively affects the work of the cardiovascular system, the state of all internal organs, compressed by fat, elasticity of blood vessels, blood circulation, hormonal background and many other vital processes.
Abuse of foods with high cholesterol levels leads to the formation of so-called plaques on the walls of blood vessels. This dramatically increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, atherosclerosis and a number of other diseases.
The likelihood of developing pathologies of the cardiovascular system increases with late meals. Thus, the staff of the Perelman School of Medicine, operating on the basis of the University of Pennsylvania, conducted a study. Its participants were 9 volunteers with normal body weight. For 8 weeks they ate from 8:00 to 19:00. In total at this time they were supposed to have 5 meals. At the end of the first phase of the study, the participants had a two-week break. During the second stage, they consumed the daily volume of food between 12: 00-23: 00. The participants' sleep at both stages lasted from 23:00 to 8:00. Not only the weight of the volunteers, but also their metabolism was subject to the supervision of specialists. As a result, it turned out that later meals led to an increase in body weight, a violation of fat metabolism, and the formation of carbohydrate reserves. The indicators of insulin, sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides also increased. All this has a negative effect on the state of the cardiovascular system and increases the risk of developing various diseases.
No. 4. Diabetes
Sugar is found in almost all foods we consume. It is necessary for the body in moderation, because it is a source of energy for it. But not all sugar is healthy. Found in confectionery, homemade baked goods, and even vegetables and fruits, it can cause spikes in blood glucose levels. And the more often this happens, the more harm is done to our health. Thus, unhealthy diet can be one of the reasons for the development of diabetes. And the point here is not only in foods rich in simple carbohydrates, but also in excess weight, and especially obesity. The main risk group is made up of people with a body mass index above 30. To reduce the likelihood of developing sugar, you need:
- drink more water, preventing even mild dehydration, in which insulin production and glucose absorption are disrupted;
- eating less sugar, which increases the load on the pancreas, increases appetite and promotes overeating;
- when drawing up a diet, take into account glycemic index consumed products;
- moderately consume fatty foods, giving preference to lean meat, fish, seafood, vegetable oils;
- do not eat in large portions and do not make too large gaps between meals;
- lean on foods with a high content of vitamins C and group B.
Scientists at Deakin University have found that the likelihood of depression with improper diet increases significantly. In support of this, a study was conducted in which 67 volunteers with moderate to severe depression took part. All participants were divided into two groups. The people in the first group did not adhere to the principles of proper nutrition, but at the same time they received social support from the specialists. The participants in the second group ate a Mediterranean diet high in lean meats, vegetables and fruits. As a result of the study, it turned out that the level of depression in volunteers from the second group decreased by 30%, and from the first - by only 8%. So, according to experts, in order to prevent and combat depression, you need to include foods rich in zinc, iron and vitamin B12 in your diet, adhering to general recommendations for proper nutrition.
Lack of food culture increases anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Scientists claim that all these problems are present in children. In support of their words, they presented the results of an analysis of information obtained in 12 studies involving 83,000 children aged 4.5-18 years. At the same time, to obtain the necessary results, the dietary habits of the participants, the quality and frequency of food they consumed, data from behavioral analysis, successes and difficulties that parents had to face were taken into account.
No. 6. Alzheimer's disease
Modern researchers are sure that the quality of the consumed products has a direct impact on the functioning of the brain. So, high-calorie fast food and other harmfulness, popular among the population, contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. As mentioned earlier, this type of diet triggers an increase in blood sugar levels, which in turn increases the likelihood of developing diabetes, and type 2 diabetes puts a person at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
In addition, American scientists have found that during obesity, dopamine receptors, which produce the so-called happiness hormone, undergo changes. But besides pleasure, dopamine is also responsible for motivation. Because of this, if you are overweight, it is extremely difficult to force yourself to play sports. It turns out to be a vicious circle, from which it is very difficult to get out.
Everyone who loses weight knows a simple axiom: to lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than spend. But, as in any business, it is important to stop here on time. Regular malnutrition can lead to physiological problems and unwanted mental conditions.
1. Breakdown
Most people have a resting metabolic rate of over 1,000 kcal per day. And if you go in for sports, then this number should at least double.
If you consume less than 1,000 calories daily, yours slows down, leading to increased fatigue. Even the smallest physical activity, such as walking or climbing stairs, makes you tired, because you do not even cover the basic energy needs of the body.
Malnutrition can lead to rapid fatigue, because the body lacks energy for anything other than maintaining the most basic functions.
2. Hair loss
Shortage daily allowance calories, as well as deficiencies in protein, iron, biotin and other vitamins cause excessive hair loss. When the body does not receive the amount of nutrients it needs, it primarily supports the functioning of vital organs such as the heart and brain. The health of the hair fades into the background as less significant.
If more hair is shedding than usual, this is a serious reason to pay attention to your diet.
3. Constant hunger
Studies have shown that malnutrition increases appetite due to changes in the levels of hormones that control satiety. In addition, a calorie deficit leads to increased production of cortisol, a stress hormone that contributes to increased hunger and growth. Constant hunger signals that the body is in danger of exhaustion.
Malnutrition leads to hormonal surges that exacerbate hunger to force you to make up for your nutrient deficiencies.
4. Failure to conceive
The pituitary gland and hypothalamus work closely together and are responsible for the hormonal balance of many organs, including the reproductive organs. The hypothalamus receives signals from the body and, based on them, determines when to force the pituitary gland to stimulate or inhibit the production of estrogen, progesterone and other hormones. Studies show that this a complex system very sensitive to changes in weight and diet.
Pregnancy is impossible without the balance of sex hormones. The first sign of hormonal disruption of the reproductive function of the body is amenorrhea - the absence of menstruation for three or more months.
Calorie deficiency causes the body to send signals to the hypothalamus, which lead to disruptions in the production of sex hormones and the inability to become pregnant.
5. Sleep disorders
Research Sleep in eating disorders, conducted on humans and animals, have shown that fasting also leads to a reduction in its deep phase. This means that you have difficulty falling asleep, often wake up and do not feel rested the next morning. And if you go to bed or wake up feeling hungry, this is a clear sign that you are not eating enough.
Malnutrition negatively affects the quality and duration of sleep: you do not get enough sleep, no matter how much you sleep.
6. Irritability
If any little thing pisses you off, it might be worth checking out your plate.
During World War II, a group of young people took part in an experiment They starved so that others be better fed: remembering Ancel Keys and the Minnesota experiment held at the University of Minnesota. For six months, the volunteers ate critically little, helping researchers understand how to help war victims who survived famine. As the experiment showed, one of side effects such prolonged malnutrition became extreme irritability.
Prolonged malnutrition and deliberately restricting oneself in food can lead to nervousness and mood swings.
7. Constant feeling of cold
In order to generate heat and maintain an optimal body temperature, we need to burn a certain amount of calories. Six-year study Long-term calorie restriction, but not endurance exercise, lowers core body temperature in humans, which was attended by 72 middle-aged people, showed that those who ate an average of 1,769 kcal daily had a significantly lower body temperature than those whose daily diet was 2,300-2,900 kcal. Interestingly, these indicators did not depend in any way on physical activity participants.
Analyzing research results Effect of long-term calorie restriction with adequate protein and micronutrients on thyroid hormones, the scientists noticed that those subjects who ate less had a lower T3 level. Among its other functions, this thyroid hormone is responsible for the energy metabolism of the body. Thus, the less we eat, the more we freeze.
Lack of nutrition can lead to a decrease in body temperature. This is partly due to a decrease in T3 hormone levels.
8. Constipation
Constipation is usually characterized as hard, hard stools three times a week or less. Study Dieting severity and gastrointestinal symptoms in college women, which was attended by 301 female students, showed that constipation and other digestive problems are primarily susceptible to those who adhere to strict diets.
Malnutrition leads to constipation because food moves slowly through the digestive tract and less waste is stored in the body.
9. Anxiety
An indicative large-scale study Adolescent dieting: healthy weight control or borderline eating disorder? which was attended by over 2,500 Australian teenagers. 62% of those who severely limited themselves in nutrition were noted elevated level anxiety and depression.
Those rich in omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce anxiety during times when you are forced to limit your food intake.
Heavy diets lead to depression, anxiety, and mood swings.
For a gradual weight loss, it is enough to limit yourself to 1200 kcal per day, but you should not go below this mark. If you find any of the above signs of malnutrition, reconsider your diet: it is possible that your body is lacking essential nutrients.
Everyone knows that unhealthy diet can have a negative impact on our body. What exactly is it?
The topic of the dangers of malnutrition is not new to anyone. It is especially relevant in our time, when the circle is full of so-called fast food, and in addition, various semi-finished products overflowing with harmful substances. Of course, all this food can look very appetizing and its smell can be very tempting, but for the stomach and for the whole organism as a whole, it can be dangerous.
Improper diet overwhelms our body with toxins. It burdens him with unnecessary work. The heart has to expend more effort in order to pump blood; the respiratory system also receives additional stress. Such changes do not begin to occur immediately - sometimes a lot of time must pass before that. However, they begin to manifest themselves gradually, gradually, and therefore at first they may be invisible, but then it may be too late to return the former forces of the organism.
Excessive consumption of sweets can, as you know, lead to the formation of caries, and generally negatively affect the condition of the teeth - contribute to the formation of plaque. Such yellow teeth look very unaesthetic, in addition, in people with diseases oral cavity, an unpleasant smell from the mouth is often heard, making an unpleasant impression on the interlocutor.
In addition to the formation of caries, which occurs from the outside, affecting primarily the enamel, teeth can be destroyed from the inside. For them to be strong, you need to eat foods rich in fluoride, calcium and minerals. If, however, in the consumed products, these useful material, bones, hair and teeth lose their natural strength and become brittle. Teeth become susceptible to various external influences and careless action can lead to their loss. Of course, modern dentistry has stepped quite far - in our time, dentures are almost impossible to distinguish from real ones, there are many ways to install them, for example, microprosthetics of teeth are widely used. However, it is always best to have your own teeth and try to keep them healthy.
Improper diet and skin condition negatively affect. All metabolic processes occurring in the body, to a greater or lesser extent, affect its state. She is sensitive to our lifestyle - to the food we eat, to the daily routine, to the presence or absence of stress. So, excessive consumption of fatty, spicy and salty foods leads to the formation of redness and pimples, as well as to the formation of an oily sheen. A lack of water leads to dehydration of the dermis. Foods rich in fiber, which are found in large quantities in greens, have a very good effect on the skin.
And, of course, the food we eat directly affects the state of the figure. Excessive food intake leads to the accumulation of fat. And this is not only an aesthetic drawback - excessive accumulations of fat disrupt the work of internal organs, squeezing them. They also have high cholesterol levels, which can contribute to diseases such as diabetes, gout, or stroke.
Foods that can do the most harm (especially if consumed in unlimited quantities):
- fried and spicy foods
- sugar
- mayonnaise
- vegetable oils
- canned food
- semi-finished products
- chemical drinks
- artificial fats
- refined white flour of the highest grades
What diseases can arise from malnutrition?
If there is a violation of fat metabolism, then this can lead to such a disease as obesity.
Also to overweight also leads to a violation of the metabolism of carbohydrates. This suggests that sugar cannot enter the body on its own. This disease is called diabetes mellitus. People suffering from this disease are forced to constantly inject themselves with insulin, which promotes the absorption of sugar by the body.
Also, blood pressure depends on a person's nutrition. If it is increased, then this disease is called hypertension. It is characterized by headaches. If the blood arteries become clogged with fat cells, angina pectoris occurs. And the consequence of this disease can be myocardial infarction. Also, unhealthy diet can lead to bowel cancer.
Keep track of your daily diet, prepare meals based on natural products, and you will easily forget about food-related illnesses.
