1. Obestitas
Junk food plays a major role in the obesity
epidemic. By 2050, the rate of obesity in the u.s. is
expected to reach 42 percent, according to researchers at Harvard
University. Children who eat fast food as a regular
part of their diet consume more fat, carbohydrates and refined sugar and less
fiber than those who do not eat fast food on a regular
basis.
Junk food in the diet of these kids contributed 187 extra
calories per day, which leads to an extra 6 pounds of
weight per year. Obesity increases the risk of heart

important hormones, so the condition known as insulin

milligrams per day is recommended by the guidelines of the US Diet for
Americans. Given the high rates of high blood pressure among Americans, a level
that should be even lower – about 1500 milligrams per day – 70 per cent of

people with hypertension adhere to a diet low in sodium.
