Let’s
talk about food first. I believe that most teenagers like to eat fast food,
like McDonald’s. After such a set meal, do you feel bloated and lazy? Fast food
causes weight gain and brings acne. Actually, the results caused by fast food
are more than these.
According
to statistics, trans fats and saturated fats found in fast foods contribute to
heart disease. This is a severe problem. Saturated fats raise the level of
total cholesterol, while trans fats increase not only the level of total
cholesterol but also consume good high density lipoprotein cholesterol, which
is supposed to remove harmful cholesterol from arteries and transport them to
the liver. Hence, another severe problem appears: liver damage. The liver needs
to break down the fats for energy. However the liver is not able to catch up
with the high fat levels of the fast foods. So the fats infiltrate the liver
finally and damage the liver.
