Hello viewers! I'm Morenike, one of the LSA bloggers and we're really focused on foods, because some people eat junk food or too sugary food and don't know what it can do to themselves. Happy reading healthy viewers!
How Different Types of Food Change Your Body
People require food to survive, but what you eat can impact your health in a variety of different ways. Several food choices are available to people today, and focusing on a balanced diet is the best way to ensure you meet your body's nutritional requirements while avoiding potential adverse effects of potentially harmful foods.
SUGARY AND SWEET FOODS
Sugary and sweetened foods such as soft drinks, candy, sweet baked goods and other products have a specific effect on the body. Sugar is a key source of energy in the body, and eating such foods often results in a brief feeling of energy and alertness as your body digests the sugar. While eating the occasional sweet food is usually not harmful, sugars can contribute to tooth decay and can contribute to the development of obesity.
HIgH FAT, HIGH SODIUM FOODS
The foods you eat can also affect your health by causing or leading to health conditions. For example, people who eat foods that are high in cholesterol, such as deep-fried foods or eggs, are more prone to develop heart disease. Those who eat diets rich in sodium, typically found in high levels in processed foods, are at a higher risk of having high blood pressure, or hypertension, which can lead to heart disease, strokes, kidney failure and heart failure. Foods low in cholesterol or sodium, such as whole grains and vegetables, do not contribute to these conditions.
NUTRIENT-RICH FOODS
Your body relies on a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain proper bodily functions. Vitamins are organic compounds produced by plants and animals, while minerals are natural elements that exist in nature and get ingested by plants and animals. Different foods contain different types and amounts of nutrients. For example, citrus fruits typically have high amounts of vitamin C, while fish and dairy products have high levels of vitamin D. Eating a variety of foods is the best way to ensure your body gets enough of each nutrient, but people who do not eat a variety of foods can develop a nutritional deficiency that impairs ideal body performance in any number of ways.
