You must have heard that eating too much sweets can cause diabetes, but do you know that momos and chow mein can also cause this disease. If there are fast food shops like momos and chow mein near your house or locality, then it can spoil your health. A new research has claimed. According to research, people living in areas where fast food like momos and chow mein are easily available are at risk of type-2 diabetes and obesity.
It is generally believed that fast food causes stomach upset and can also cause cancer, but in this research, fast food has been linked to diabetes and obesity. This research has been done by an organization in many areas of Chennai. It has been found that the risk of diabetes and obesity is increasing among people who have fast food shops within 400 meters of their homes. This is because when food items are easily available outside, people leave nutritious food at home and start eating outside again and again. This increases calorie intake and also increases obesity in the body, which is a cause of diabetes.
Why are momos and chow mein harmful?
People eat a lot of momos and chow mein, but they contain a lot of flour. Apart from this, there is also more salt and refined oil. This leads to weight gain and blood sugar level can become uncontrolled. Excess salt and oil also increases the risk of heart diseases. It was also told in the research that obesity is increasing rapidly among children and youth due to fast food stalls near schools and colleges. Children are becoming victims of Type 2 diabetes at an early age.
Research has said that the trend of eating momos is increasing among children also. There are many children who are eating these every other day. In such a situation, insulin resistance is getting disturbed in these children.
