It's the 21st century and "junk food" has gone global. For better or for worse (mostly worse), junk food

is now available all over the world. We see it most everywhere we go -- in grocery and convenience

stores, fast-food restaurants, on television -- usually looking very appealing. But just what are the

facts about junk food?

"Junk food" generally refers to foods that contribute lots of calories but little nutritional value. Of

course, what's considered "junk food" depends on whom you ask. Some might say pizza is junk food,

for example. But I personally don't think so, since it contributes real food with nutrients, like cheese

and tomato sauce. Add whole-wheat or part whole-wheat crust, plus veggies as a topping, and I'd say

pizza completely exits the junk food category.

One problem with junk foods is that they're low in satiation value -- that is, people don't tend to feel as

full when they eat them -- which can lead to overeating. Another problem is that junk food tends to

replace other, more nutritious foods. When people drink lots of soda, for example, they are usually not

getting plenty of low-fat dairy or other healthful beverages likegreen teaor orange juice. When they're

snacking on chips and cookies, they're usually not loading up onfruits and vegetables.

Most "junk food" falls into the categories of either "snack food" or "fast food." And then there are

things likebreakfastcereals. They seem innocent enough, but some of them could definitely be

considered "junk food," as they mostly contain sugar or high-fructose corn syrup and white flour or

milled corn.

Calories From Snack Foods

Popular snack foods are usually commercially prepared and packaged, like chips, cheese puffs,

candy bars, snack cakes, and cookies.

The contribution of snack food to the calories we eat should not be underestimated. Between 1977

and 1996, the contribution of snack calories to total calories for American children between 2 and 5

years old increased by 30%, according to an article published in the Chilean medical journal, RevistaMedica de Chile.

Fast Food and Overeating

Of course, junk food is also readily available at restaurant chains across the country in the form of

French fries, chicken nuggets, shakes, soda, etc. Not only are most fast foods not terribly healthy, one

study indicates that there may be something about fast food that actually encourages gorging.

In the study, from the Children's Hospital in Boston,teensage 13-17 were given three types of fast-

food meals (all including chicken nuggets, French fries, and cola). In one meal, the teens were served

a lot of food at once. In another, a lot of food was served at the same time, but in smaller portions.

And in the third test meal, a lot of food was served, but in smaller portions over 15-minute intervals.

The researchers found that it didn't seem to matter how much food was served -- the teens still took in

about half of their daily calorie needs in that one meal. The researchers suggested that certain factors

inherent to fast food might promote overeating:

It's low in fiber.

It's high in palatability (that is, it tastes good).

It offers a high number of calories in a small volume. It's high in fat.

[edit]Health effects

A study by Paul Johnson and Paul Kenny at theScripps Research Institute(2008) suggested that junk food

consumption alters brain activity in a manner similar to addictive drugs likecocaineorheroin.[6]

After many

weeks with unlimited access to junk food, the pleasure centers of rat brains became desensitized, requiring

more food for pleasure. After the junk food was taken away and replaced with a healthy diet, the rats

starved for two weeks instead of eating nutritious fare.[7]

A 2007British Journal of Nutritionstudy found that

female rats who eat junk food during pregnancy increased the likelihood of unhealthy eating habits in their

offspring.[8]

A report published in the Journal of theFederation of American Societies for Experimental

Biologysuggests that babies of mothers with a high-sugar and high-fat diet while pregnant are more prone

to junk food themselves. The study was conducted on rats and suggests that "infants whose mothers eat

excessive amounts of high-fat, high-sugar junk foods when pregnant or breastfeeding are likely to have a

greater preference for these foods later in life."[9]

[edit]Taxation

To reduce unhealthy foods, in December 2011Denmarkhas introduced the first fat-food tax in the world by

imposing a surcharge on foods that contain more than 2.3 percent saturated fat.Hungaryhas also imposed

a tax on packaged foods that contain unhealthy concentrations, such as beverages containing more than

20 mg ofcaffeineper 100 ml.[10]

Junk Food

Lollies, chips and fast food are called 'junkfood'.

This kind of food has too much fat in it.

It has too much salt in it too.

And it has too much sugar.

It's OK to eat a little bit, but too much is notgood.

What is junk food?Lollies, soft drink, potato chips, hotchips, ice cream, and hamburgers, hot

dogs and other kinds of take away foodare called junk food.

What's wrong with junk food? Too much fat! Junk foods such as hamburgers,

pizza, fried chicken and chips usually contain loadsof saturated fats. Too much saturated fat in the dietwill cause people to put on weight and get fat or

obese (very fat). Being overweight is a risk to thehealth of the heart and can cause other diseases. Too much salt! Junk foods often have too much

salt. There's a lot of salt already in foods such asbread, breakfast cereals and biscuits and cakes. Sopeople are getting more salt than they need whenthey eat junk food. Too much salt is unhealthy forthe heart.

Whether youve got a salty craving or sweet tooth,its hard to say no to a not-so-healthy indulgence now and then (or every day). Itsbiological, actually; were hardwired tocrave high-calorie foodsto prepare our bodiesfor times of scarcity since, thousands of years ago, hunters andgatherers didnt always know when their next meals would be coming.

In this day and age, however, its nearly impossible to avoid overloading on everythingfrom salty chips to gargantuan prepackaged cookies. But there are a million ways tosatisfy your cravings in a healthy and nourishing way. If you keep an open mind and dosome research, youll find endless recipes and techniques to keep yourself happy and

well fed. Here are a few tried-and-true suggestions.

Kale Chips,the most disgusting-sounding (and surprisingly delicious) of the lot. Thisleafy green is a health food darling, packed with vitamin A, iron and tons of cancer-fighting antioxidants. The problem is, we humans arent generally too excited aboutvegetables, especially bitter greens, and would prefer to dive into a plate of rawbutter before we even touched the stuff. But we are so missing out!

To make your own kale chips, wash the kale, pull out the tough ribs and tear it intosmall pieces. Arrange it on a baking sheet, drizzle with good olive oil and salt andpepper and roast in the oven until theyre crisp like potato chips. Delicious, simpleand oh, so good for you.

Whole Wheat Flour. Whole wheat anything (bread, pasta, baked goods, etc.) is anincredible step up from the refined white flour that most of use are used to. Refiningwheat and other carbohydrates takes the nutrients out of the grain, resulting in finewhite flour that tastes good but spikes blood sugar, is high in calories and offers nonutrients whatsoever.

You can make a huge change to your diet and waistline by trading in white productsfor good, whole grain bread, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, polenta,barley,quinoa(an incredible cous-cous-like seed thats packed with protein perfectfor vegetarians) and whole wheat pastry flour. If youre afraid to substitute half ofyour baking flour with whole wheat flour (dividing the flour this way usually doesnt

change the baking process), just look online for somefabulous whole wheat flourrecipes. You can have your cake and look good, too.

No-Fry Fries. The easiest way to enjoythese beloved American carbs sans guilt? Bake em! You really dont need a deep fryerto get amazing French fries just cut up some potatoes into thick matchsticks andfollow the method for the kale chips, but make the potatoes soft and roasted insteadof crispy (or slice them into thin rounds to make baked potato chips).

Want something even better?Sweet potato friesmay actually be the best thing sincesliced bread (or French fries). In fact, theyre better. They have the richest taste,are full of vitamins and antioxidants (bright or deep colors are generally a sign ofthese cancer-fighting agents) and go above and beyond as the tastiest and mostinspired fries youll ever try.

The best way to make unhealthy food healthy is to get creative. Try new things, andsee what works best for you. The web is an unparalleled resource for finding excellentrecipes that youll want to make over and over again. Get as close to nature aspossible by incorporating real fruit, vegetables and whole grains into your comfortfood of choice. Youll find that the healthy version is often more flavorful than theoriginal!

nullHealthy eating habits ensure adequate nutrition and health besides reducing your risk of many chronicdiseases. Simplicity of preparation and addictive taste make junk food irresistible. Children love it andso do adults. Can we convert junk food to healthy food?

If you and your family are used to eating junk food, it wont be easy to suddenly start eating healthy, butyou can convert junk food to healthy meals with a little ingenuity, provide your family sufficientnutrients AND help prevent obesity and other diseases. Here are a few ways to convert junk food tohealthy meals that your family will enjoy.

Use as little butter in your sandwich as possible. Butter only one side. Avoid butter if adding mayonnaise.

Choose wholemeal or whole grain bread instead of white bread.

Grill your burger instead of frying it. Grilled burgers minus the saturated fats taste just as good. Trimvisible fat from the raw meat before grilling it. When choosing meats or poultry, select baked, broiled, or

grilled items rather than fried or breaded items. (University of California, Irvine)

Serve different types of fresh fruit juice with meals, every day. Try serving chilled tamarind juice, whichhelps increase appetite and aids digestion. Fresh juice will stop you from reaching out for those colas andother addictive fizzy drinks. "The relationship between soft drink consumption and body weight is sostrong that researchers calculate that for each additional soda consumed, the risk of obesity increases 1.6times." "Adolescents who consume soft drinks display a risk of bone fractures three to four-fold higherthan those who do not." (Marion Nestle :Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition andHealth, California Studies in Food and Culture)

Cant resist chips? Cut them thicker- thicker chips absorb less oil. Avoid very thin French fries.

Include large, appetizing salads in every meal. Cut down on salad dressings when eating out. Mix thegreens with sweet corn and pineapple or add different fruits each day. Pomegranate is a healthysubstitute that goes well with vegetable salads. Salads help satiate hunger and ensure your children eatgreen leafy vegetables. Salad "freshens without enfeebling and fortifies without irritating." (Jean-AnthelmeBrillat-Savarin)

Olive oil, flaxseed oil and canola oil are safe oils but use them sparingly.

Eat more sprouts. Add fresh bean sprout to salad or soup. Sprouts cooked with a little soy sauce andfresh flax oil makes a nutritive, enjoyable meal.

Make pizzas at home. Use low fat cheese, grilled chicken and fresh vegetables for toppings. Makingpizzas at home will help you control what goes into its making.

Limit the use of cheese as much as possible; substitute cheese toppings with tofu.

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. It helps suppress the feeling of hunger and gives you a feeling offullness. Water is a key ingredient in a healthy diet and lifestyle. There are many health benefits ofdrinking water. It helps flush impurities and toxins out of our systems. It aids in the delivery of oxygen andnutrients. In fact, nearly every system in our bodies relies on water for proper functioning (C.J.Gustafson)

Make one small change to your food every day. Include a healthy item like a fruit or vegetable in yourmenu. Dont make a drastic change overnight as this will only make your body crave it more and youll

end up eating larger portions than you should.

Do you have any healthy quick fixes that can replace junk food? Can, and should, we completely

avoid junk food?
