10 worst food ingredients for your health!
Those who want to live well and healthy should dig better into the ingredients that make their food!
That pleasure from time to time, will not harm you, but the problem is that momentary pleasure can turn into an addiction and this is the greatest danger!
So-called "junk food" is everywhere, whether it's in diners, restaurants, street vendors, and food trucks. No matter what it takes, but profit is the only concern to them.
The food may be tasty, but its contents, unknown to most, will wreak havoc. It is like a small flame that's going to turn into a fire, if not noticed.
Thus, one can literally say that it is vital to research before eating, in order to know what are the foods nutrients and substances.
According to Brazilian nutritionist Karen Oliveira: "Recent research in the area of Nutrigenomics (name of the area that studies nutrients and food substances that modulate our gene expression), found that food does not have the ability to modify our DNA, but can modulate its functioning in a positive or negative way."
It means that it is necessary to be super-attentive regarding the content, for example, of fast food, of the stuff you eat, mostly when you are in a hurry!
Still according to Nutritionist Karen: "This ability to modulate our gene expression stimulates the manufacture of post-inflammatory proteins of the mild and chronic inflammatory process, in which there is the addition of pain, which can trigger in chronic, non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, silent diseases, compared with those of inflammatory processes, such as influenza, for example."
Beware of the seduction of the foods that sell because of their false appearance!
