The food we eat every day is mostly filled with preservatives, artificial dyes and all kinds of chemicals. These harmful ingredients can lead to different medical conditions and cause us numerous health problems.
Why are these chemicals and preservatives so harmful? Well, firstly because our body can not digest them properly and this is a big problem. When we eat a salad or something healthy our body process that meal in an hour or two. However, when we eat a hamburger or some other processed food, it stays in our system for up to three days, leaving behind toxic residues which clog our arteries and cause us health complications. If we want to avoid having to deal with these issues we need to avoid junk food completely and focus on eating healthier food.
