11 signs of unhealthy eating patterns
Food is intended for the human body as sustenance and nutrition. Truly, that is its only intent. It is meant to provide essential nutrients that work to support internal bodily process and nutrify major organs. It provides us with energy and is essential for the proper physical development of children.
Somewhere along the way, we have seriously
lost touch with this fact. Of course, the endless rows of goodies at the supermarket, and unlimited choices of junk food have not helped us in any way.
Healthy eating still eludes many of us, as America struggles with obesity and lifestyle choices are the leading cause of premature death from diseases like that of the heart that result from them.
Obesity is at epidemic levels in the US. According to the Centers For Disease Control:
35.1% of adults age 20 or older were obese and 69% of adults age 20 or older were overweight or obese , that’s more than 50% of
the US population!
Children as young as 5 years old are being diagnosed with obesity, which maybe the biggest tragedy of all. According to the Centers For Disease Control:
Obesity rates have more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years.
More than 1/3 of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.
Of course, poor eating habits put you at risk for more than just obesity because when the body does not have proper nutrition, it poses other serious health risks.
hypertension (high blood pressure)
increase chances for stroke
High cholesterol, which is the main cause of heart disease, the #1 killer of Americans.
Gout
nutrition is a high risk factor for breast, colon and bladder cancers, just to name a few.
