  1. Hello, everybody. Um Welcome to my pre
  2. presentation where today I'm going to be discussing unhealthy food choices.
  3. So let's go ahead and get into it.
  4. So basically we're gonna be discussing, you know, what healthy foods are,
  5. what unhealthy foods are just the benefits, the cons and
  6. what we can do. Um Just so we can eat better and live longer.
  7. Um
  8. And to just always make sure that we are
  9. conscious about what we are putting inside our bodies.
  10. But um everybody
  11. has uh
  12. their go to for fast food, you know, everybody has their likes and dislikes
  13. and we all have our guilty pleasure. So
  14. let's get into it. Let's get start.
  15. Ok. So now
  16. we're gonna discuss what exactly are unhealthy foods.
  17. I mean, obviously this is like a no brainer.
  18. Um but just to clarify, unhealthy foods are foods that can be processed,
  19. fried foods, fast food and increased calories,
  20. increased fat and it lacks nutrients.
  21. So, an example, you know, like mcdonald's Taco Bell,
  22. Popeye's Pizza Hut Burger King, you know, things like that and
  23. just in particular, just anything fast that you can get, you know, it's not
  24. always the healthiest no matter what like I,
  25. I even think like even with subway like it's just,
  26. it may be a little bit healthier but you just never know. You know. So
  27. that's that.
  28. Ok. So now let's move on.
  29. So some fast stats for us, right?
  30. So nine in 10 Americans consume way too much sodium and nearly 100
  31. and $73 billion a year is spent on health care due to
  32. obesity and then the leading cause of death is heart disease.
  33. So, in the US, um 42% of, of adults
  34. have obesity, which is crazy.
  35. Like once I read this in the article, I couldn't believe,
  36. I mean, I could believe, but I also just, those numbers are just jarring.
  37. They're very jarring, bro.
  38. All right.
  39. So OK, you know what?
  40. And, and obviously we love to look at the negatives of an unhealthy
  41. uh diet, but
  42. we know
  43. what, you know, we kind of know what the positives are what keeps us there, right?
  44. So obviously it tastes amazing most of the time.
  45. You know, sometimes it's just really good, you know what I'm saying?
  46. It's just really good, you know, you have a sweet tooth or you just have a craving
  47. and it's just nothing can solve that craving but that, you know, unhealthy junk,
  48. you know, everybody likes junk food,
  49. you know, it saves a ton of time on lunch breaks, you know.
  50. So there's that and you're able to save money over a long period of time. So a
  51. lot of the fast food is very cheap, you know, and it can satisfy, you know,
  52. your hunger for the moment, you know what I'm saying?
  53. So
  54. these are often, even though there's very little positives,
  55. these things are like huge, especially in our society where we're always on the go,
  56. we're always going, we're always working like we're,
  57. we don't really have time, you know.
  58. So there's that,
  59. ok, let's get into it. So
  60. we got some harmful effects here going on. Ok.
  61. You know, it's very clear, you know, everybody knows about this. But
  62. do you really, you know what I'm saying? Like, so
  63. one of them is being overweight and obesity, which I mentioned before and
  64. this is the leading cause of contracting harmful
  65. diseases to the body such as heart disease,
  66. you get diabetes and having a stroke could be possible like just cancer,
  67. you know, and
  68. once you rack up all these kind of diseases on your boat,
  69. like due to this many disabilities that are possible,
  70. you're gonna be liable to having outrageous hospital bills, bro.
  71. Like
  72. it's gonna be a lot. So
  73. these are essential, it just
  74. very informal effects, you know,
  75. you just need to be conscious about what you're putting inside of your body,
  76. you know.
  77. And so now what can we do to incorporate a healthy lifestyle?
  78. Well, let's try exercise and we could exercise regularly,
  79. eat more vegetables and fruits, make more home cooked meals,
  80. meal prepping will help us.
  81. You know, because obviously it's time consuming and, you know, it's
  82. one of the positives for getting a fast food.
  83. Um, you know, fast food meal is time, but if you meal prep,
  84. you won't have to worry about that.
  85. You see what I'm saying?
  86. And also drinking more water
  87. and, you know, less soda, less juices and just limit how often you eat out.
  88. You know, obviously we're not gonna never, you know,
  89. not eat out like we're gonna eat out, but just try to limit it,
  90. you know what I'm saying?
  91. That will really help you a lot.
  92. So here's the conclusion, guys, you know, we can still
  93. have good tasting food and it can be home cooked meals, you know what I'm saying,
  94. prepare your own meals, you know, it just takes some time,
  95. you know, uh one day throughout the week, um and just make a meal,

  98. and also you'll be getting all the nutrients that you need,
  99. drink plenty of water
  100. and just limit that time spending. Um,

  102. as much as you can.
  103. It's possible, it takes attention and discipline,
  104. but it can be done
