People today enjoy eating foods that are high in calories, fat, and sugar. Binge eating is a growing trend nowadays. Unhealthy food cravings are at an all-time high. What we ignore is that these cravings have a long-term detrimental effect on our health. Unhealthy or junk food has a lot of saturated fats, sodium, and sugar, which increases our risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc. The fact that these foods are prepared in a way that may stimulate our brain's feel-good centres and encourage us to consume more only serves to exacerbate the issue. The temptation to eat unhealthy foods is caused by stress, emotional eating, and food pleasure. This is also due to its accessibility at our convenience.
