The Pitfalls of Eating Junk Food
We live in an addiction-prone society, but of all the addictions out there, one of the most deadly is one that is most often overlooked: junk food. The term "junk food" refers to any food that is high in calories, fat, salt, and sugar without bringing any nutritional value to the table. Unfortunately, this food is usually convenient, tasty, and extremely addictive. Foods that are high in fat and sugar work on our brains like opiates - painkillers - and the more we eat, the more we want. This consequence is also increased by the "empty calorie" effect of junk food. It fills us up for a short period of time, but then, like any addict, we begin to feel tired, depressed, and hungry all over again, and...
