    Junk food refers to highly processed food that is high in calories, fat, sugar, and salt but lacks nutritional value. Consuming junk food can lead to obesity, diabetes, dental cavities, lack of energy, and irritate the gastric mucosa. The high sugar content of junk food puts metabolic stress on the body and can impair glucose tolerance, leading to the formation of ketone bodies. Frequent consumption of junk food from a young age can increase risks of health issues like clogged arteries, cancer, and hypertension. Children especially should limit junk food intake and engage in fitness to develop healthy eating habits.
