These 13 things fast food harms your body

Pack On The Pounds (Weight Gain)
Fast food is convenient and inexpensive, but you pay a big price in the long run. Those burgers, fries, and shakes usually contain way more fat, calories and highly processed carbs than your body needs in one meal. If you eat it too often, it can lead to rapid weight gain and obesity.

It harms our heart
Sodium improves the taste of fast food and prevents spoilage. But just one bacon cheeseburger may contain your recommended daily value for sodium. This is the amount of a nutrient experts recommend getting each day. Too much sodium raises your blood pressure and damages your blood vessels. It also increases your risk for heart failure, heart attack and stroke.

Opens the door to digestive issues
Fast food may taste good, but once it hits your system, you might not feel good. High sodium foods (fries, anyone?) can trigger bloat temporarily. Couple that with dietary fiber in moderation, and your digestive system gets backed up. This can lead to constipation, which puts you at risk for hemorrhoids, hernias and diverticulitis.

Spike blood sugar
Bagels, buns, and breaded foods high in processed carbs help your body break down sugar. As your blood sugar level rises, your body pumps out insulin to level things off. Over time, these frequent sugar spikes can damage your pancreas (insulin-producing organ). It keeps the blood sugar level high, which leads to type 2 diabetes.

Affects your mood
What you eat and drink can affect how you feel mentally and physically. Fast food is lacking in the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients your body needs to boost your mood. Research shows that the sharp and processed foods you buy at the store may be linked to a higher risk of depression.

Makes You Tired
When a bunch of processed carbs hit your system, your blood sugar rises quickly, then drops just as fast. This can make you feel tired. If you grab a sugary coffee drink to wake up, the cycle starts all over again.

Changes Your Bathroom Habits
Because it’s highly processed, fast food — especially fried or creamy — can be difficult to digest. If your body cannot break it down, it descends into your colon and turns into the fatty acids that provoke diarrhoea.

Increases your risk for Respiratory problems
A fried chicken dinner won’t affect the way you breathe. But too much fast food can lead to excess weight that increases your risk of asthma, especially in women.
