JUNK FOOD AND HEALTH ALL NATURAL PRODUCTS

Junk Food, is a slang word for foods with limited nutritional value. I would include foods that are high in salt, sugar, fat or calories and low nutrient content.

Salted snack,candy, gum, most sweet desserts, fried, and carbonated beverages are some of the major culperts.

Generally, they offer little in terms of protein, vitamins or minerals and lots of calories from sugar or fat. The term empty calories, reflects the lack of nutrients.

Rather than taking a radical approach and banning all but the simplest foods, judge each food based on the list of ingredients and Nutrition Facts label found on packages. When reading the list of ingredients, look for sugar, fat or salt as one of the first three ingredients. If any of these are listed that high in the ingredients, you can probably consider that food to be too high in sugar, fat or salt.

A look at the nutritional information on the label will list the number of calories per serving, grams of fat, sodium, cholesterol, fiber and sugar content. This nutritional information will make you more knowledgeable in selecting foods to reduce your nutritional health risk. All Natural
