Abstract:
The lack of knowledge among adolescents makes them more sensitive to engage in unhealthy habits which might harm health and nutritional status. A high caloric diet and lack of physical activity are responsible for the generation of reactive oxygen species leading to neurological diseases. The gap in knowledge about Junk food and its complications poses a significant threat to public health policy. Metabolic Syndrome develops due to high fat-induced chronic inflammation and leads to cognition disturbances, stroke, and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Adolescent age is the most devastating one where several Lifestyle associated diseases (Sophisticated and cozy lifestyle) occur and is linked with chronic diseases viz., Alzheimer, Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Alcoholic Fatty liver disease, Obesity, Hypertension, etc. The unstructured eating behaviors should be prevented at the earliest to overcome the "Fast food Genocide" from eating Processed foods to obesity and nutritional deficiencies leading to neurological complications and destructing the brain cell. As we age, memory begins to decline, and thus by lowering our intake of high calorific foods and salt intake, we could reduce metabolic syndrome-related and age-related issues like blood pressure, T2DM, obesity, etc. Thus, to curb diseases linked with Junk foods, awareness about nutritional values of foods among adolescents and higher tax slabs of junks foods should be made to reduce the purchase of such products.
