Misuse of Healthy Food

 ### Misuse of Healthy Food: Effects on the Body 

 

 Thus, commenting the use of healthy foods as being beneficial in contributing to the welfare of people’s health, it is also important to note that their misuse could cause harm on the body. Nevertheless, a number of problems may happen in the consumption of these foods and regarding the balance or improper usage of them. 

 

 #### Overconsumption 

 

 It is important to note that overindulgence of even the most obligatory and healthy of foods is not a good thing. For instance, populations that frequently take foods containing more nutrients such as nuts or avocados, naturally have more calories in their diets and are therefore prone to gain weight easily. Likewise, overintake of fruits which are highly nutritious and abundant in fiber may lead to more intake of natural fructose which is not good to BGL’s. 

 

 #### Nutrient Imbalance 

 

 However, the emphasis on the consumption of some of those foods may make the body deficient in other nutrients. For instance, depending on the spinach as the source of iron without taking foods that do not contain oxalates may deny the body the iron nutrient as oxalates hinder the uptake of the nutrient. In this context, it remains quite evident that it is necessary to take the food rich in a variety of nutrients. 

 

 #### Misinterpretation of Labels 

 

 False labeling compels people into consuming large quantities of food that they consider as healthy since they perceive the foods as low fat/sugar foods which in most cases are really high in calories or contain artificial compounds. This could result in rather unexpected calorie consumption and deterioration of nutritional quality, thus affecting weight regulation and metabolic profile. 

 

 #### Ignoring Food Sensitivities 

 

 Eating certain foods that the body cannot handle or products that the body has a sensitivity to are generally bad. For instance, while whole grains are beneficial to human health in most cases, they are detrimental to persons diagnosed with celiac disease or persons sensitive to gluten meals. 

 

 #### Conclusion 

 

 Thus, even though healthy foods are important in proper nutrition, their utilization is not as effective when in improper forms. This infers that moderation, diversification and understanding of each person’s dietary requirements can all give maximum benefits from healthy eating without any side effects. It is always advisable to strike a balance in order to incorporate many nutrients in the diet regime.
