We have all opted for fast food many times, and now it seems that science agrees with us, but on one condition. Fast food is not healthy or good, but sometimes we feel like something greasy to break the mold of the routine of work and stress.
Research indicates that ultra-processed food is closely linked to cancer, in the same way that junk food was not going to be left behind. In relation to this is the condition imposed by science.
The new research says that many use this type of diet as a daily routine and that is where the problem lies. However, eating fast food very occasionally, as a whim or celebration, is fine.
Keith-Thomas Ayoob of the Department of Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine, says that these types of foods are loaded with bad fats, salt and sugars . All this is coupled with the intake of fat, salt and sugar that we do throughout the day. That is why it is so unhealthy to constantly eat lunch and / or dinner with fast food.
Small hamburger with water, please
Thus, science does not rule out that we opt for junk food very sporadically, but that when we do we try to fulfill this condition: change the menu for individual small pieces (for example, only the hamburger or only the potatoes), choose fruit. instead of chips or cakes and swap the sugary drink for water.
Also, if our friends go to Burger King or McDonald’s, we can choose one of their salads and accompany it with fruit and water. In this way, we free up the possibility of binge eating on a specific day, instead of making it a very assiduous habit, putting health at risk.
Keith-Thomas Ayoob, indicates that fast food, apart from being unhealthy in the long term for the body, in the short term does not satiate us, but creates more hunger after a while after eating it and, instead of giving us energy, take it off and we feel tired.
