Are You Overdoing It With Fast Food?

Author: TycoonMarketing

Forty-two percent of Americans eat fast food at least every other day. People consume more calories and receive less nutrition at drive-in counter at junk food restaurants than in any other meal situation. Perhaps fast food can be a small part of a healthy eating plan, but most people simply eat way too much of these stuff.

According to a recent article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Americans’ overindulgence in junk food and drive-in restaurants implies that nearly half of the US population is eating junk food three times or more each week! This report reveals that young people, between 10 to 39 years old, eat the most fast food. In the past, such adolescents have only eaten fast food about twice weekly. Fast food consumption is on the rise!

What effect does this have on overall diet? Children, adolescents and adults who consume junk food consistently eat far less fruit, vegetables, dairy and legumes than those who avoid the junk food restaurants all together. Fast food eaters chow down on more fried foods (french fries?) and slurp down more sugary soft drinks (Large size?). More fast food means that consumption of calories, saturated fat and sodium goes up, while intake of vitamin A, vitamin C, beta-carotene and fiber go down.

Of course, junk food doesn’t absolutely have to equate a poor diet. However, when people feel under time-pressure or when they are away from home, they tend to see it as a convenience or “survival” food as its immediate priority. Healthy eating usually becomes the least option for choices. Some fast food restaurants are beginning to offer “healthier” meal on their menu. They even offers vegetable and low-fat diet meal as an option.

Still, the buying habits revealed in this study did not show people opting for healthier food. This report suggests that people should begin choosing lower-fat meals and should reduce their fast food consumption of calories, fat, and saturated fat. Even choosing diet drinks or water at such places can save an immense load of calories.

Also when you buy drive-in food, think carefully about size portion of all meat, fries, and dressings. It’s okay to order a “small!” At about 200 calories, you won’t overdo it like you would with a 600 calorie jumbo size. The drive-in food industry’s “value marketing” strategy leads many consumers to think that they are saving money by ordering very large portions for only slightly higher cost. That strategy just means that you are paying more to overeat! Where’s the savings in that?

Lack Of Nutrients In Your Body

Everyone knows that the human body needs a certain amount of vitamins and minerals daily in order to function properly and remain healthy.  A well balanced diet do supply your body with the vitamins it needs but if there is a lack of it, problems and disorders will arise. That is when your body starts showing signs of discomfort and what’s-not.

For people who do not get enough of nutrients in their body, they probably will lack vitamins and as a result they feel tired easily or they experience loss of appetite. More severe symptoms could involve mental and emotional stress, chapped lips, and other irritable or painful sensations.

Vitamin deficiency can be cause by poor diet, alcoholism, stress, lack of fruits and vegetables intake, or main stream medicine that interferes with your digestive system. Common symptoms such as tiredness or listlessness are probably cause by the lack of vitamins or a weakening of the immune system of your body system.

When your body lacks vitamin, it affects your Immune system too. It will be quite safe to say that your anti-oxidant level in your body will be low too. In such cases, if no attempt is made to boost up your defense system, you will easily succumb to bacteria invasion. That’s the reason why some people seem to catch cold or cough much easily than others.

Even if you are following a healthy dieting regime, you should continue to take health supplements that continue to keep your body health in an optimal state as vitamins are a great back up source for your body. How would you know if your anti-oxidant is low?

There is 2 possible way.

1. The Invasive Way. Your blood is drawn and a piece of your skin tissue is scalped so that the Laboratory can do its necessary test to give you the result. And it’s pretty costly too.

2. The Non-Invasive Way. As far I as know, Pharmanex, owned by Nuskin have the only machine in the world that can measure anyone’s anti-oxidant score within 2 minutes using a Nobel Prize technology. The machine is known as Bio-Photonic Scanner. It returns a Score known as Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) that indicates how good your immune system is.

It is a fact that our human body is lacking in nutrients due to the food that we consume today. Those foods that we took today have low nutrient counts as compared to those 50 to 60 years ago. To make it worse, many of us became obsessed taking fast foods which have been proven over and over again that they are not nutritious at all.

In order to compensate for the discrepancy, taking vitamins or health supplements will give us the necessary intake of nutrients that the body needs to function normally.

With the invention of sophisticated equipments as well as stringent research by scientists all over the world, the supplements that are available to you today can be an alternative backup nutrients for your body. However, it is still your job to find out which of these supplement products is effective and which are not.

As wellness is a very lucrative business, there are cases of unscrupulous merchants passing off lousy supplements as quality one through their hype-up advertisements.

Ask yourself some questions before you buy your health supplement products in the market:

1. How long have this company been selling these health products?

2. How do they quantify their products quality? How many scientists were involved creating it?

3. How safe were they? What kind of Quality process did they carry out to ensure its fit for human consumption?

4. Any regulatory board approved it?

5. Are they effective?

To feel or think that it works, like most people do, does not make you healthier. To be able to measure the difference (similar to a high blood pressure monitor) is truly the right way to justify the product usage.

Most important of all, you must believe that vitamins or health supplements can truly help your body to become healthier. If these theories were false, how could the health supplements industry becomes a billion dollar industry?

Get involve, if you must, with any of these reputable company (e.g. Forever Living, Amway, Nuskin etc ) and its only when you starts seeing those around you becoming healthier, then your belief level will skyrocket!

Your body is very precious therefore make it a point that it does not have a lack of nutrients despite your heavy schedule or commitments for the day.

Jim Rohn once said “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”

It is almost certain that no one will ask you this question “Can I Make Money While Spending Money?” because majority of people knows that when you buy something, be it a product or services, money is definitely being spent.

Once you’ve done the mental work, there comes a point you have to throw yourself into the action and put your heart on the line. — P Jackson

Wow, another month has gone by and I must say that Singapore has been kept busy with the National Day Parade Celebration as well as the Youth Olympic Game, which is still in progress.

I was busy re-adjusting my Goals so that I can achieve what I want for the next 2 to 5 years and with the successful business model that I am involved in, its a DONE DEAL !

A newspaper article across the border indicates that the Government of Malaysia is asking their citizens to shed their “extra pounds” as it has reached an epidemic proportion.  Similarly, according to CNN, Japan is taking a more serious approach to tackle this problem. Is this true ?

 .

What thoughts come into your mind after watching this ? The one that is screaming very hard at me is “Will our Health Authority carry an even harsher measure when we reach this level of concern ? Will You Get Subsidy for any health related issue that is a result of being overly Fat ?

All I can say is that “The Body Is Yours And You Can Do Whatever You Want With It” but to be socially responsible or responsible to your family or yourself, you should make an attempt to get fit and healthy so that you will not be burden in the future. Why ? because I cannot know for sure whether in the future, “Will You Get Subsidy For Your Health Issue if its proven to be a result of Obesity ?”

Cheers and Have a great weekend !

“If age is just a number, then living young is a whole philosophy. If you have not done anything about living  young, it is never too late to change !” … extracted from a Live Young Guide found in July 2010 “her world” Magazine

My question is “Can One Really Live Young ?” — to me, that is a definite Yes ! Look around us today and you will find that not only ladies are concerned with their outlook, men are becoming more aware of themselves too.

It is all about a positive approach to things in life. It’s a simple philosophy but its empowering. Most important of all, it must start with you !

To live young need a certain form of discipline but its not too difficult either.  Follow some simple steps and you are on your way to “getting younger” e.g.

1. Make sure you are in good health by getting your eye, teeth and skin examined once in a while

2. Ensure you have a  balanced diet, avoid smoking and excessive drinking

3. Cleanse, tone, moisturize, nourish your skin using the right skincare product.

4. Do some exercise to tone your body for the right clothing or shoes that you wear.

5. Smile or Laugh often to put you in a cheerful mood.

6. Be thankful with what you have and always think positive instead of negative.

With a little practice, you will become more younger and vibrant.

So, do you think that anyone can live young ? The answer is a definite YES !

P/S: I will be attending the ageLOC Launch at Sentosa Resort World on July 8 to 10 . Really hope that you are here too !
