Question 1

can eating unhealthy (junk food) every day cause vomiting, dizziness, tiredness and headaches? is this my body warning me?

Accepted Answer

Junk food: has a lot of additives, preservatives, transfats, and sugar in the various products.  Thus, you can get symptoms such as GI distress, fluctuating blood sugar, etc.  Talk to your doctor about shifting to a low carb and higher protein diet so you will have energy from good fat rather than from sugar.  Your cravings will gradually diminish. Peace and good health.

Question 2

why do i get acnes only after eating junk food?

Accepted Answer

Glucose level: Certain foods cause blood glucose(sugar) to rise rapidly, triggering rise in Insulin and resulting inflammation. Excess levels of Insulin in the bloodstream trigger  endocrine response that can lead to the growth of pore-clogging cells, as well as overactive oil gland activity.Upping your water intake is  great way to flush out internal toxins and hydrate your skin from the inside out.

Question 3

what can i do to cleanse my digestive system after eating junk food?

Accepted Answer

Start with: Consuming good healthy foods, preferably organic and then if not feeling better but somewhat bolstered by the good stuff, you can consider a formal cleanse program. I suggest you get guidance for that type of approach from a functional nutritionist.  Pick from the wide spectrum of naturally colored foods, as close to nature made them, then commit to avoiding the fake food.

Question 4

what are possible reasons that my chest hurts after eating junk food?

Accepted Answer

Reflux: Most likely reflux. The obvious answer is to quit eating junk food...Your body is rejecting it and telling you it is not beneficial or healthy. Pay attention to symptoms...The body is amazing and often tries to tell us things we ignore.

Question 5

how come my ankles and feet swell up after eating junk food?

Accepted Answer

Water retention: I'll assume by junk food you're referring at least to salty snack foods, like chips, or fast food like burgers and French fries and pizza. Where salt goes, water follows, so with salty foods we tend to retain water in our bodies.  Gravity then draws the water to the dependent parts of our bodies, which would usually be the legs and feet.  So they swell.

Question 6

after i eat junk food, hives itch during sleep. but after eating junk food and exercise, no hives during sleep. why?

Accepted Answer

Calories: You St because having hives associated with your sugar intake and when you exercise you get rid of the calories. Good Luck

Question 7

sometimes after eating junk food /having beer, when i lie down i get a heart flutter that my heart races for aboutt 10 seconds. goes away when i cough?

Accepted Answer

Be monitored: This is likely a fast heart rate that resolves with a canal manoeuvre or cough. See your doctor for an EKG and a monitor study. Note foods/drums that trigger it and try to avoid them. All the best.

Question 8

is a fast harder pounding heart after eating normally? it comes after eating fatty, greasy, junk food or after alcohol consumption. normal?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Unless a stimulant should not affect your heart rate. Monitor the rate if you can and follow up for a HR greater than 100. All the best.

Question 9

why do i have flu-like symptoms (joint pain, weakness, fatigue, irritability, brain fog) for days after eating one piece of junk food (i.e. candybar)?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: It is extremely unlikely that candybar has anything to do with your symptoms. You may have a common cold, flu, reaction to medication and in uncommon cases it may be a prodrome of a more serous illness. If the symptoms do not abate in week, it would be prudent to see your doctor.

Question 10

so the past week ive been throwing up and feeling bad when i eat food so lately ive been eating chocolate because i dont
desire anything else or other junk food but not no rice or chicken or anything when i see it makes me sick and is been weird?

Accepted Answer

Might need a doctor: A mild tummy ache with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, whether at home or traveling, may be from a virus or bacteria infection, or contaminated food. A normal person, not pregnant, not on medications, usually recovers easily. People try taking a Pedialyte popsicle or 2-3 oz of Pedialyte hourly, plus drinking or eating little else for 1 day, to settle things down.
