Nutritional Deficiencies in Fast Food (1/10)

Fast food often lacks the essential nutrients your body needs. While it may satisfy hunger, it rarely nourishes.

High in Calories, Low in Nutrients

• Empty Calories: Fast food is calorie-dense but lacks vitamins, minerals, and fiber. For example, a burger and fries might provide energy but fail to deliver the nutrients found in vegetables or whole grains.
• Lack of Fresh Ingredients: Most fast food items rely on processed meats, refined carbohydrates, and sugary sauces, with minimal fresh produce.

Overconsumption of Unhealthy Fats and Sugars

• Trans Fats: Many fast foods contain trans fats, which increase “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and decrease “good” cholesterol (HDL), raising the risk of heart disease.
• Added Sugars: Sugary drinks and desserts contribute to obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders.
