The diet of modern people includes up to seventy percent of processed foods. These numbers are impressive. By semi-finished products it is customary to understand: sausages, some flour products, meat products. We can say that people get about seventy percent of 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 vivid taste. That's just achieved such an effect due to chemicals that harm human health. For example, dyes include metals and hazardous organic compounds. To keep the products longer stored, preservatives are added to their composition, which are often toxic and carcinogenic.
In addition, from the semi-finished products, they not only grow fat, but also get diseases, the cause of which is overweight. Those who often eat sweets, sausages, 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 quickly grows fat.
Semifinished products and the state of intestinal microflora worsen. The fact is that when they enter the intestines, the natural balance of microorganisms is disturbed. Often, those who are fond of convenience foods, 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 convenience foods. That is why experts advise to eat more natural food. In addition, scientists have proven that such products are the cause of cancer. For example, due to the use of sausages, the likelihood of colon cancer increases significantly.
