Low- fat foods are not always good for our health
There are many kinds of ‘low-fat foods’ anywhere. Whenever
you go to your refrigerator or a supermarket, you or your family are choosing
them. We eat low-fat food without any hesitation. Everyone knows that eating
too much fat can be bad for you. So when you see the words "low fat",
"no fat" or "99 per cent fat-free" on the product, it must
be a healthy choice, right? But for some time past, low-fat foods’ bad things are
appearing. Still, you cannot realize that. Or you do not want to admit the
facts. Therefore, my question is ‘low-fat food is
always a healthy choice?’ and my argument is ‘low-fat
foods are not always good for our health.’ Then, I will show the current
situation about the food intake patterns and disadvantages of low-fat food. I
think it is not good for our health perfectly.
People already know that the floating
talks about low-fat food don't have an exactly good effect to their health.
Though they are listening that, people buy low -fat food yet. They accommodate
an advertisement mindlessly. But from my research, 'Low-fat' foods have a
little of fat, but these make us put other ingredients that are like sweeteners
or eat much. Also, we have to eat the fats. If we want to eat less fat, our
nerves functions and energy sources suffer greatly. I impress in "quality
is more important than quantity". People have to know that low-fat foods
may have an imbalance of fat and lead you blood-disease. People have to intake
some fats according to their health condition or daily calories. Just
maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet can make well-balance especially in
fat, not in constant fear of intaking fat. And then, there are so many risks
hidden in a dark side of 'low-fat'. These risks cause not only just physical
health problem, but the mental problem that can destroy the rest of our life.
Also, as mentioned earlier, my thesis is low-fat foods are
not always good for our health. An important part of my thesis is 'not always'
because people think they are always good, but they have good points and bad
points both. The type of source that I using to defend my thesis is health newspapers.
I think newspapers are more accurate than other researches. So, my arguments
mostly based on scientific evidences.
However, the opposite position says that
why low-fat foods are named 'low-fat'? They are arguing that when we eat any
foods, it is better that fats are low. But it is not true. I can anticipate and
counter my argument by creating strong arguments that Convince yourself that
with food, quality is more important than quantity and resolve to indulge in
conscious eating. A very low-fat diet may save you a few calories today, but in
the long run it could be setting you up for blood sugar imbalances and even
future weight gain. Through these researches, I strengthen my argument or
thesis.
Convince yourself
that with food, quality is more important than quantity and resolve to indulge
in conscious eating. A very low-fat diet may save you a few calories today, but
in the long run it could be setting you up for blood sugar imbalances and even
future weight gain.
