Stay away from burgers: Why is a "Western" diet bad for your health? Translation

developing countries are experiencing rapid urbanization, with more than
50 per cent of the world's population
now living in cities and reaching
70 per cent by
2050-.but this development has led to an urbanized way of life, which usually means less physical activity and
consumption

a nutritional transformation is taking place around the world."

study,

explores global trends in dietary choices and the link between these diets and health."

"
the result? is potentially catastrophic about health and increases the risk of disease."
we have found a whole new undernourished population, and the food they eat is not good for their health because there are no nutritional benefits,

that "

low nutritional value of processed foods.

called processed foods non-nutritious. "The lack

An Myles
, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said:
"s Western diet is characterized by a reduction in over-refined sugars, highly refined and saturated fats, excessive consumption of animal protein, and reduced plant fiber intake

"
means higher levels of fat, red meat, salt and sugar and less cellulose in the diet.Myles
says: "
"
't have too many calories.
"
the popularity of fast food food culture contributed to the formation of this trend.but how does this diet affect your health? Increases your risk of infection In
Mules
's view, the biggest culprit is foods containing fructose and palmic acid, ingredients that are common in block sugars that promote an immune response. Myles
that highly processed and refined foods commonly found in Western food are not liked by the body. "If you

foods can cause your immune system to lose its balance, he said.
"
can cause confusion in the body's identification of bacteria such as E. coli

it's out of your body's normal way of reacting, and by the time you realize it, it's getting worse."
” However, this effect is reversible. Myles
that dietary changes to avoid exposure to these food ingredients can restore the immune system to its normal state. "The

"

1kg of bacteria in his body," said
Jeremy Nicholson, director of surgery and cancer at
Imperial College London


in London.
," Nicholson
, gut bacteria in the body are closely related to the regulation of the immune system, which in turn regulates inflammatory responses. eating processed foods can lead to fewer beneficial bacteria in your gut and expose you to more harmful bacteria.
Myles
said:
"
bacteria can not survive."
” Obesity and Diabetes high-fat, high-energy diets worldwide has led to an increase in the proportion of obesity and diabetes worldwide.
Nicholson said
"
"
number of people suffering from obesity has risen sharply.
” According to the World Health Organization,

,

million adults worldwide were obese in

that "

makes people more susceptible to disease.
"
also have higher levels of inflammation in the body, which increases their risk of joint problems such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and arthritis.
Nicholson said
"
"
all of these diseases are actually inflammatory.
” Increasing levels of obesity are also thought to be leading to increased joint problems and joint replacements, as obesity causes additional stress and wear on the joints.
Nicholson
that
"
obese people change hips and knees much earlier than the average person."
” Another obesity-related
,
diabetes, has also increased dramatically globally, with 374 million people
the number of cases in
2014. Diabetes maps from the International Diabetes Alliance
(IDF)
show that the development of type
II
diabetes is diet-related and the number of cases is increasing in all countries. cancer risk new study has found a link between a Western diet and an increasing risk of colon and prostate cancer. Men on a Western-style diet are
2.5
times more likely to die of prostate cancer than the average person, and the risk of colon cancer is in turn associated with inflammation and changes in the vitality of gut bacteria. "

"

from obese people, which can produce carcinogens, Nicholson said.
" Nicholson
led a recent study to explore the risk of colon cancer. In the study, he compared the effects of diet on South Africans and African-Americans, and found that African-Americans were
50 times more likely to develop colon cancer
South Africans. "The
,"
study suggests, is related to the Western diet of African-Americans.
"
by studying African-Americans, the team reduced the effects of genetic variation, which also played a role in disease development. also destroys cells in related areas, such as the colon, causing more cells to renew. The more cells replicate, the greater the chance of genetic mutations
cells
which increases the risk of cancer. Nicholson
that

more likely to occur in relatively fast-renewing cells.

Nicholson
warned that cancer is not a simple disease. "The

” Choices clearly that diet plays an important role in people's health, and experts stress the need for people to pay more attention to their diets when it is important to improve their personal health. "
"
how
choose is their freedom, " Tilman said.
” So how will you choose?
