Over time, the food industry is developing more and more actively. That is why modern people are less likely to cook food at home. In this regard, we often buy semi-finished products that make our life easier and save time. But how can this affect our health?
The diet of modern people includes up to seventy percent of semi-finished products. These numbers are impressive. Semi-finished products are usually understood as: sausages, some flour products, meat products. We can say that people get about seventy percent of their energy from such products.
Semi-finished products contain many harmful substances and toxins. Such products are distinguished by their beautiful appearance, long-term storage and bright taste. But this effect is achieved due to chemicals that are harmful to human health. For example, dyes contain metals and hazardous organic compounds. To make the products last longer, preservatives are added to their composition, which are often toxic and carcinogenic.
In addition, from semi-finished products, they not only gain weight, but also get diseases caused by excess weight. Those who often eat sweets, sausages, and canned food can expect problems with extra pounds. The reason for this is not only the calorie content of semi-finished products, but also the composition itself (for example, the content of trans fats, sugar). Also, if such products are consumed often enough, then the metabolism slows down and the person gains weight faster.
Semi-finished products and the state of the intestinal microflora worsen. The fact is that when they enter the intestines, the natural balance of microorganisms is disturbed. Often, those who are addicted to semi-finished products, digestion worsens. They suffer from diseases such as flatulence, constipation.
Various studies have been conducted that have proven that the cause of many diseases in humans is the use of processed foods. That is why experts advise to consume more natural food. In addition, scientists have proven that such products are the cause of cancer. For example, consumption of sausages significantly increases the likelihood of bowel cancer.
