The simple answer to this question is: Yes, nutrient deficiency is also a reason for severe cancer. Our changing lifestyle and food culture are the main reasons why it has come this far.

A new set of worrying findings have linked an increased risk of cancer with the consumption of foods that have low nutritional quality. The associated study was conducted by Mélanie Deschasaux, at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research in Paris.

In the study report, the participants who ate food products with lower nutritional quality were at higher risk of developing cancer.

More importantly, regular consumption of foods with low nutritional quality led to colorectal cancer and cancer of the upper digestive tract and stomach, as well as lung cancer in the case of men. For women, eating foods that are low in nutrients is tied to a higher risk of liver cancer and breast cancer.

Avoiding such low nutritional food is the best way to prevent such disasters. Try to consume more foods like fresh vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean protein as they play a major role in preventing cancer.

Are you a person using protein powder? Are you totally dependent on it?

Protein powder is a popular nutritional supplement mainly used to regulate muscles and body mass. Using protein powder may also aid weight loss and help people tone their muscles.

Like everything else, it also has some bad effects. Most of the protein’s side effects are related to digestion. Some people have experienced symptoms such as bloating, gas, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. Some people may be allergic to whey protein because whey protein comes from cow’s milk, which is something that a few people are allergic to.

Protein powders often contain hidden ingredients and dangerous contaminants. If you are going to use a protein supplement, remember that these are largely unregulated products. Egg and fresh meat are the best sources of protein too. So avoid artificial ones and go with natural products.

Reasons Why You Should Avoid Fast Food

We live in a world where fast food dominates, don’t we?

It has ruined our diets, increased the rates of obesity, and has ultimately taken overall good food traditions. But what exactly is ‘fast food’? Fast food is any kind of food quickly prepared and served, often at chain restaurants.

It is typically associated with less expensive and less nutritious items, like hamburgers, french fries, and soda. It can come from many places like sit-down restaurants, cafés, and delivery services. It is because of the ease of availability, low expense, attractive taste, and the overall convenience, that we settle for something often quite unhealthy.

There is no such thing as “bad” food, but there are some foods you consume only moderately. Fast Food for instance, is high in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, it isn’t something you should eat often. Eating too much over a long period of time can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.

So, here are 6 ways to avoid junk food:

  • Plan ahead. There’s no better way to handle cravings than planning your meals and snacks ahead of time.
  • Shop the perimeter
  • Eat healthy fats rather than the fat from junk food items
  • Eat enough protein from healthy food items
  • Add fruits to your diet
  • Think about the bad effects of junk food so that you get demotivated to eat them
