Introductory Paragraph
Life is more hectic than ever, between school, sports, clubs and friends, who has time to think about what to eat? Time for plan B: fast food. Fast food is popular and commercially successful in most modern societies, because of its variety of flavors. There are fast food restaurants on every corner, and also the prices are very cheap, which makes it available to everyone. However, this type of food it is often criticized for having side effects which people would regret for the rest of their lives. Fast food can cause medical problems such as a fatty liver, heart attacks and strokes at early age.
Fast foods are typically high in fat, calories and sodium. Eating too much fat especially saturated and Trans fat can raise your blood cholesterol levels and put you at a higher risk for heart disease, strokes, diabetes among others.
As it was mentioned before fast food can cause medical problems such as fatty liver, where the liver’s cells are build-up of fat. The liver plays an important role in the metabolism or breakdown of fats. By eating a lot of fast food, the fat is accumulated in the liver, producing another health damages as diabetes mellitus and high blood triglycerides.
Another risk that it is produced by ingest of fast food are strokes, also known as cerebrovascular accident ( CVA ), where the supply of blood to a part of the brain is interrupted. As a consequence a stroke involves the sudden loss of neuronal function and can cause neurological damage or even death if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
Furthermore fast food is rich in fat and cholesterol, which are two main factors that leads to suffer heart disease. Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries. When blood can not reach part of the heart, that area starves for oxygen.
