junk food

A typical junk food: The Simpsons' Buzz Cola 

Let's start this article by saying that "junk food" is a scientific term used by all preeminent international nutritionists and it is not a defamatory term used by some health fanatic.
Junk food is any food or drink that brings large amounts of calories in the absence of nutrientional value.
Eating constantly "junk foods" is a real bad habit and can lead to severe obesity.
Here is a list of the worst "junk foods":

Cola and soda:
They contains a plenty of sugar and many calories (too much). There are people who are obese only because they drink it in large quantities. They facilitate the onset of serious diseases such as gastritis. Almost always contain chemical substances that can damage our intestinal flora (the opposite of yogurt).







Snacks and biscuits:
They are produced by "modern" food industry. They are almost always bad food. The term "snack" brings to mind something sweet that we associate with the sugar.
FALSE!! The enemy for uor health in snacks is not sugar, but the bad fats that are present there.
In snacks is hidden also a large amounts of margarine .
We are almost afraid to eat fatty fish, nuts and extra virgin olive oil that make us live better and longer, and we eat such junk.
Let’s prepare a cake by ourselves at home. It is a matter of health.

Fast-food:
It would be more appropriate to call it "killer-food".
The bread is often filled with sugar (sugar in bread is used to increase the feeling of pleasure), with red meat of the bad quality full of fat always mixed up with half a liter of cola.
It is better to eat even croissant and cappuccino, not only hamburgers, no more than twice a week.
At the bar, the only really good thing to order is a fresh orange juice.
You trash all that is usually sold in vending machines, such as chips,drinks and coffee. Let’s eat an apple, a banana or a yogurt.
