Eating too much fast food is harmful to everyone, including kids, adults and even old-aged people. Youth, in particular, consume it mostly, skipping homemade food that would rather benefit them. Overconsumption of fast food causes several health issues beyond pimples and obesity. Below are some side effects of eating fast food that need your kind attention.

Obesity 

Obesity is obvious with too much fast food as it consists of lots of sugar, calories and fats. And obesity is the starting point for several other problems like diabetes, joint pain and heart disease.

Memory and Learning Problems 

Eating fast food increases sugar and fats that can suppress the function of the brain, which helps learn and memorise things. After eating fast food, there is sudden inflammation in the hippocampus region of the brain, which is responsible for optimised learning and memory function.

Overeating and Digestion 

When you eat junk food, it fluctuates the level of blood sugar. It thus sends signals to the brain to consume more food. Our digestion system often finds it difficult to digest fast food when taken in huge quantities. As a result, people face problems like constipation, vomiting, etc.

Addiction

Excess fast food changes the chemical composition of the brain, making you eat more junk food. It makes you addicted to fast food, which, in turn, causes issues for you.

These are some side effects of junk food. Have junk food, but in less quantity and after a long gap.
