Having healthy habits is of such importance for the health of the body, that these collaborate with its proper functioning and productivity. For example, the American Heart Association (AHA) points out that physical activity improves the functioning of the heart muscle, which is why it urges people to do at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a week or 75 minutes of intense routines.
He also mentions that to gain muscle it is essential to include a series of strengthening exercises, such as the use of weights, at least twice a week.
Soft drinks and fruit juices
These products are one of the main causes of childhood obesity, specifies an article from the portal take care plus, written by Joanna Guillén Valera. This is because many times the consumer trusts the label that says without added sugars, which suggests that they do not offer health problems.
However, “zero sugar soft drinks are high in sweeteners, which increase the desire to consume more sweet foods and, fruit juices have free sugars that provide empty calories and do not satisfy as natural fruits do”, the publication specifies. The ideal is to replace these products with natural water or fruits.
“Sugared drinks are one of the main factors that are leading to an increase in obesity and diabetes in the world,” says Dr. Douglas Bettcher, director of the WHO’s Department of Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases.
Fried and baked foods
Some foods like Packaged potatoes are made with trans fats, which are harmful to health, As the United States National Library of Medicine points out, MedlinePlus, its process consists of the transformation of “liquid oils into solid fats” such as margarine. Some examples of them are: French fries, or pyre corn to prepare in the oven.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) points out that Red meat consumption has a relationship with colorectal cancer. The same happens with processed or transformed meat such as sausages.
“Experts concluded that each 50-gram serving of processed meat consumed daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%,” the report read.
In view of the large number of people who consume processed meat, the global impact on cancer incidence is of public health importance”, stated Dr. Kurt Straif, Head of the CIIC Monographs Program.
