The risks and side effects of a poor diet are numerous. After all, food is our major source of nutrition. The side effects are the same, whether you eat unhealthy all your life or for just two weeks. If you eat unhealthy and don’t burn any calories, these excess calories will accumulate in your body and will lead to weight gain. This increase in weight will automatically increase the risk of disease and disability. Therefore, we can clearly establish that an unhealthy diet affects both your mental and physical health.
Some of the side effects of a poor diet for two weeks are high blood pressure, diabetes, constipation, joint and muscle pain. You should be able to clearly understand the foods and ingredients that constitute a healthy diet. An unhealthy diet consists of saturated fats, which are found in cow and pork meat.
This is the reason why binging on junk food is considered a bad practice. This saturated fat, in two weeks, can lead to heart diseases and can cause weight gain. Yes, these saturated fats can elevate the bad cholesterol levels of even the healthiest person rapidly.
Your diet may be poor and can weaken your bones in just two weeks if it is devoid of nutritious dairy products. Low-fat milk is rich in calcium and contains probiotics that strengthen both bones and your immune system. Poor nutrition can lead to gout and may result in muscle and joint degeneration. Poor nutrition also leads to stroke by accumulation of plaque in the arteries. This accumulation causes blood clots and leads to fatal consequences such as death.
Poor nutrition leads to weight gain and this weight gain is associated with chronic diseases. A poor diet can lead to cancer and hypertension. Your diet not only affects your appearance but also the internal mechanism of your body. Most people work out rigorously and eat healthy meals for months. They waste all their hard work by binging on junk food and not exercising for two weeks, fooling themselves that it will not make much of a difference whereas these two weeks can lead to chronic diseases and addictive bad eating habits.
Maintaining a healthy diet is tough but switching to a poor diet is easy. An unhealthy diet makes you inactive and a sedentary lifestyle is the biggest enemy of health. So eat right, work out regularly and keep a positive attitude to enjoy and live life to the fullest.
