Read More »Fast food is a common meal option, but it’s high in calories and low in nutrients. Eating too much of it could affect nearly all parts of your body. Popularity of fast food Swinging through the drive-thru or hopping into your favorite fast food restaurant may happen more often than some of us would like to admit. Between 2013 and 2016, 36.6% of U.S. adults ate fast food on a given day. The amount was nearly the same for children and adolescents, with 36.3% of them eating fast food on a given day during 2015 to 2018. While an occasional fast food meal won’t hurt, a habit of eating out could be doing a number on your health. Read on to learn the effects of fast food on your body. Share on Pinterest Effect on the respiratory system Excess calories from fast food meals can cause weight gain. This may lead toward obesity. Obesity increases your risk of respiratory problems, including asthma and shortness of breath. The extra pounds can put pressure on your heart and lungs, and symptoms may show up even with little exertion. You may notice difficulty breathing when you’re walking, climbing stairs, or exercising. Restaurants may increase the challenge of calorie counting. Research indicates that people often inaccurately estimate the number of calories of menu items. Effect on the central nervous system Your central nervous system consists of your brain and spinal cord. These areas of your body may also see an impact from eating fast food. One study from 2020 found that among college students, eating higher amounts of fast food (and, interestingly, salad) was linked to a lower short-term memory score. Still, other research from 2019 found no effect of fast food consumption on cognitive function. More studies are needed in this area. Effect on mental health Eating fast food may affect your mental health along with your physical health. A 2020 study found that consuming fast foods with sugary drinks increased the chance of mental health issues in middle school students in China. Research from 2018 also suggested that eating a Western diet high in red meat, takeout, and refined foods was linked to a higher body mass index (BMI) and inflammation in 14-year-old participants. This was then associated with depressive symptoms and mental health issues when they were 17 years old. Effects of fast food on society Today, more than two in five U.S. adults and around one in five children have obesity. Offerings at fast food restaurants may be contributing. One study found that between 1986 and 2016, portion sizes and the number of calories in restaurant entrées and desserts increased significantly. As Americans eat out more frequently, it could have adverse effects for both individuals and America’s healthcare system. FAQs What are the health risks of eating fast food? Fast food is often high in calories, fat, and sugar but low in nutrients and fiber. While eating fast food occasionally isn’t a problem, consuming it frequently may raise your risk of obesity, heart attack, and other health issues. What happens if you eat fast food more than two times a week? Eating fast food too often may negatively affect your health. An older study from 2012 found that Chinese Singaporean adults who ate Western-style fast food at least twice per week had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and dying from coronary heart disease compared with adults who consumed little or no fast food.

Read More »Queen Elizabeth was famously crowned wearing Clarins cosmetics, after commissioning the company to create a shade of lipstick that went with her coronation robes. It's rumoured that its Ever Matte powder was among the Queen's must-haves.
Looking back over the 96 illustrious years of Queen Elizabeth's life, it's near-impossible to think of a time that she wasn't groomed to perfection. We never saw a hair out of place or a smeared lip, and according to insiders, this was all her own handiwork. It's been reported that she never relied on a professional 'glam squad' unless it was for the filming of her annual Christmas Day speech. But while Her Majesty was hands-on with her daily and show-stopping night time looks she was never in the business of advertising her favourite lipstick, so we have had to piece together what products she preferred through a patchwork of intrepid Royal reporter tidbits and the brands that have been awarded a Royal Warrant. Royal Warrants are given to the select few companies that have been supplying the late Monarch, her family and their households for years - some even before she came to the throne in 1952! Below, we've rounded up a selection of the Queen's favourite powders, creams, and scents - and some of the other products you might find in any of the the Royal residences...
