All of us love to have junk foods from our favorite restaurants. Pasta, noodles, fried rice, and fried chicken are all on the top lists of our orders. But what actually do these junk foods cause to our bodies?? Are they healthy ?? How do they impact the appendix ?? This blog holds answers to all these questions.
Curious to know? Let's begin !!!
Appendicitis is one of the common health problems in today’s world caused by the impact of junk food as they are low in fiber which causes fecalith to build up in the appendix lumen causing obstruction of the appendix lumen and the main cause of inflammation in the appendix. Studies have found a strong correlation between intake of a low fiber diet and the incidence of appendicitis. If you are wondering what role an appendix plays in our body, the answer is it’s a vestigial organ present in the body due to evolutionary changes but has no role to play.
Appendicitis is very painful and sometimes can be fatal. It is a medical emergency ’ and surgical removal of the appendix is the only option. If left untreated, the appendix might burst to cause infectious material to spill into the abdominal cavity. This can be medically serious unless treated with very strong antibiotics. It is most prevalent among the age groups of 10 to 30 since children and teenagers and could have a predilection towards unhealthy eating habits. The most surprising and at the same time the alarming fact is that it was earlier common among western countries, but is now highly prevalent among developing countries due to the adoption of unhealthy eating habits. It may sound astonishing to all the junk food and fast food lovers but it’s high time that you switch to more natural and healthy foods if you are one among them.
Do you often suffer from abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting??
Be cautious !!! It could be a sign of developing appendicitis. All those colorful and tempting advertisements in your magazines and television are slowly dragging you towards a dreadful problem and you who should be aware.
Healthy dietary habits can be a boon in more ways than one as excess intake of fast foods not only causes appendicitis but also leads to the development of long-term health conditions. Low intake of fiber in a diet leads to constipation. So, let’s avoid these discomforts by switching to more natural and organic foods to stay healthy and happy. Start incorporating healthy food habits like drinking plenty of water, sprouted legumes, vegetables, fruits, and nuts.
We know cravings are hard to control initially, but choose some alternate foods that satisfy your cravings too. It’s not easy to always eat healthily but munch on your favorite snacks and foods once in a while. So, let’s change our mindset to a healthier life and start giving importance to your health rather than your tastebuds!!!
