The Consequences of Eating Out

We all generally understand that eating lots of meals out isn't the best idea. It's often expensive, for one, and the foods we pick tend not to be so good for us. Too, exactly what we're eating or how it was prepared is frequently unknown. When it comes to what eating out for nearly every meal does to your body, things can get complicated, as not everybody responds to constantly eating out in the same way. In general, though, there are some not-so-good consequences, and you'll definitely want to be mindful of them before heading out for yet another meal.

First, Dining out a lot may make you take in larger portions. You're more likely to overeat when dining out than you are when you've prepared your own food. Many restaurants offer freebies such as chips and salsa, or bread and oil, in addition to large entrees and sides that are larger portion sizes than what meet choosemyplate.gov guidelines. This confuses the brain and body, making you thinks that you're still consuming a serving, because that's what you've been served, but the reality is that the portion sizes are tremendously greater than they ought to be

Second, It raises your sodium and cholesterol levels. High levels of sodium and cholesterol in the body increase one's risk of many negative bodily effects ranging from headache to obesity. According to CNBC, "The average sodium of all items among the biggest chains in 2014 was 1,256 milligrams" which is huge considering that 2,300 mg or less per day is the recommendation per US dietary guidelines. The effects on the body of a diet high in sodium include increased blood pressure, dehydration, and potentially kidney disease. Foods at restaurants, particularly fast food items, tend to have a lot more saturated fats and Trans fats than meals you may prepare yourself. According to Everyday Health, experts say to improve your health you should try to lessen the amount of fats you consume in the diet, rather than cholesterol itself, as a diet high in fat raises cholesterol levels.

Third, Eating out for lots of meals increases your risk of heart disease or stroke. A diet high in fat, cholesterol, and sugar increases one's risk of heart disease. When dining out, there are more temptations to delve into the sugary desserts and condiments, or to splurge with an entree you just can't replicate at home. The extra starchy and meaty items are the ones to be wary of in terms of disease risk. A study from the University of Wurzburg in Germany evaluated the link between protein consumption and stroke risk. They found that the risk of strokes was 41% higher in those who consumed 3.3 ounces of red meat each day, compared to those who consumed an average of 1.7 ounces per day. A portion of red meat at a restaurant is typically larger than 3.3 ounces.

Lastly, It increases the likelihood of weight gain. Eating out for lots of meals is associated with a higher percentage of body fat and heavier weight than American adults who prepare foods at home. This is likely due to the convenience of eating on the go, the many options at our fingertips when we choose to dine out,  "portion distortion," and the way in which foods in restaurants are prepared, according to Greatist.

            From those reasons, no doubt that eating a lot of meals out is not good for our health. Even though eating out is an enjoying way to take break from coking at home. It can replace nutrient-rich home cooking and lead to health issues.
