Diseases
There are surprisingly many diseases related to eating to food. Many involve eating too many unhealthy foods. Other diseases are born by not washing or cooking foods properly. Below is a list of common diseases that occur from eating unhealthy foods.
Headaches
Headaches can occur from eating too much of a specific protein such as consuming too much caffeine from coffee or sodium.
To prevent this, one can carefully monitor their caffeine and sodium intake. Now I'm not saying don't eat any sugar or salt; just eat the recommended amount. The recommended amount of sugar intake per adult is 90 grams a day. The recommended amount of salt intake per adult is 2,300 milligrams a day.
Obesity
Obesity often occurs from eating too many processed foods such as corn syrup and trans fat and foods with chemicals add additives in them, for example syrups, coke, and artificial sweeteners.
Preventing this is very simple: stop eating processed foods. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables will help keep your body in balance and reduce obesity.
Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease occurs from having high levels of cholesterol or clogged arteries.This can happen from eating highly fatty/oily foods such as fried chicken or cheeseburgers.
Reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease is simple. Cutting down on eating too much sodium is key. Also exercising to keep the blood flowing through your veins and arteries and drinking plenty of fluids such as water, green tea, smoothies, milk, and fruit juice will help as well.
Diabetes
Diabetes can occurs from eating too much sugar; especially the processed kind.
Watching your sugar intake can prevent this. Eating the natural sugars from fresh fruits such as oranges, apples, and bananas are beneficial to your health.
Cancer
Surprisingly, an individual can get cancer from eating food. Now its not just from eating any type of food. Consuming an excess amount of processed foods with artificial flavoring is one of the major causes of cancer.
Simple answer to preventing this is eating less processed foods and sticking to more natural and fresh diet.
Food Poisoning
Food Poisoning is one of the most common sicknesses caused by food. It occurs from not properly washing or cooking raw fruits, vegetables, or meats. These products have dangerous viruses such as e-coli, salmonella, and as seen in the picture above, listeria.
All you must do is simply, wash all raw products thoroughly and cook them to the correct temperature to kill all the bacteria. You can also properly wash your preparation surfaces such as the cutting board, knifes and mixing bowls in hot soapy water to help prevent food poisoning.
