Good health is an asset as without it covering the journey of life becomes very harsh upon you. Sometimes the opportunities are in front of you and you are just not able to grab it up as your body does not support you enough. Believe it or not, the food you eat definitely influences your health, lifestyle and your achievements to a great extent. And what if the person in focus is the president of a country who is letting things go quite serious to an extent that it makes even the nutritionist worried.
President of any country sets an example for its people and so does the American president Donald Trump but this time in an unfavourable way as his diet includes mainly junk food more than anything else. A venerate nutritionist in London, Jo Travers expressed her concerns in an interview with The Guardian, over Trump’s everyday diet as he does not really have a balanced one. She, after assessing diet stated that Trump’s daily routine does not necessarily include a breakfast and if it is integral, he opts for bacon which is high in protein. She turns down consumption of bacon as breakfast as it is a processed pork product and has been linked to cancer. Trump also believes in big dinner, which is otherwise advised to be as simple and minimal as it can be.
President Trump’s meal provides almost no fibre, fruits and vegetables. In addition to adverse physical effects, Trump's intense diet may lead to mental and emotional implications, and mood disorders due to the lack of healthy fats and omega-3s in the food said, Jo Travers. As said by Dana Reeve, an American actress, singer, and activist for disability causes “Your emotional state has a tremendous amount to do with sickness, health and well-being”, an absence of variation in president Trump’s diet is another concern for nutritionists.
In America, obesity turns out to be a three decades old epidemic growing up to almost 38% in 2013-14 from about 32% a decade ago, according to a report by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US. Therefore it is highly expected from the president to persuade people to bring down this statistics.
In contrast to the previous presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, Trumps’s food mainly comprises of high calories and too much salt and no exercises to make benefit out of it. Therefore it would not be improper to say that he is leading a fast food nation which is consuming itself.
