Its advantages are: when people feel the need to eat, the energy supply is fast, that is, when they need energy, they want to eat immediately, but in general restaurants, teahouses and restaurants, it takes a while for food to be supplied after you order, which is difficult to meet the immediate needs of the human body; Color, Flavor and Appetite Stimulation Generally, fast food restaurants adopt cooking methods with high color and aroma, such as frying and high-concentration ingredients, which are all ways to treat foods that stimulate appetite in order to attract people.

Fast food is easy to eat and convenient to eat. You can eat it anytime and anywhere without doing it yourself.

The disadvantage of fast food is that the nutrition supply is unbalanced, and it only pays attention to the supply of meat, sugar and oil, and lacks vegetables, fruits and fiber. The relative lack of vitamins and minerals will lead to unbalanced nutrition; Fast food with excess calories, with oil and monosaccharide as the main energy providers, is an extremely concentrated substance, so it may easily absorb more energy than we need every day. If oil is animal, it will contain too much saturated fat, which will easily lead to high cholesterol and endanger heart health; Excessive salt supply Most fast food seasonings are very strong and contain a lot of salt, which is not good for the heart, blood vessels and kidneys. Eating them for a long time will definitely damage your health, but the harm is not obvious, so it is unknown.

As long as you choose it properly, improve on its shortcomings and eat fast food in combination with various foods. Here are some suggestions for your reference: there are actually many forms to choose a balanced fast food. When considering eating, we can achieve a balance by ensuring meat, starch, vegetables, fruits and dairy products; Don't choose greasy and too sweet food. Food that is too greasy and too sweet should be stopped or tasted. It is not advisable to eat a lot, otherwise you will consume too many calories and endanger your health; Don't choose too salty food and soup. For example, the soup packets and soups of instant noodles have high salt content, so it is no problem to eat lightly, and it is unhealthy to eat more. Eating fast food should be enough. Fast food can solve one and a half meals a day, but the rest should eat a normal diet to supplement the shortage of fast food. Eat more fruits. Fruit is relatively scarce in fast food.
