垃圾食品消费阻碍微量营养素吸收，导致营养缺乏：专家

经常食用富含糖、盐和脂肪的垃圾食品会阻碍体内微量营养素的吸收，导致营养缺乏

Regular consumption of junk food hampers micronutrient absorption in the body and leads to nutrient deficiencies, affecting overall health, said experts on Saturday.

专家周六表示，经常食用垃圾食品会阻碍体内微量营养素的吸收，导致营养缺乏，从而影响整体健康。

National Nutrition Week is observed annually from September 1 to September 7. The theme this year is ‘Nutritious Diets for Everyone’.

每年9月1日至7日为全国营养周。今年的主题是“人人营养饮食”。

A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body doesn't get enough of a nutrient from food or has trouble absorbing it.

当身体无法从食物中获取足够的营养或难以吸收时，就会发生营养缺乏。

Junk foods typically lack the necessary vitamins, minerals, and fiber that facilitate proper digestion and nutrient absorption. Deficiencies can affect digestion, and bone growth, cause skin disorders, anaemia, dementia, nervous system damage, and more.

垃圾食品通常缺乏促进适当消化和营养吸收的必要维生素、矿物质和纤维。缺乏会影响消化和骨骼生长，导致皮肤病、贫血、痴呆、神经系统损伤等。

“Consuming junk foods regularly can significantly hinder micronutrient absorption, leading to nutrient deficiencies. Processed and packaged foods often contain high amounts of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, which can displace essential vitamins and minerals,” Dr Narendra Singhla, Lead Consultant – Internal Medicine at the CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, told IANS.

“经常食用垃圾食品会严重阻碍微量营养素的吸收，导致营养缺乏。加工和包装食品通常含有大量的糖、盐和不健康的脂肪，这些可能会取代必需的维生素和矿物质，”德里 CK Birla 医院内科首席顾问纳伦德拉·辛格拉 (Narendra Singhla) 博士告诉 IANS。

Junk foods often contain phytates, oxalates, and lectins, which can bind to minerals like zinc, iron, and calcium, inhibiting their absorption levels.

垃圾食品通常含有植酸盐、草酸盐和凝集素，它们可以与锌、铁和钙等矿物质结合，抑制其吸收水平。

Similarly, “the high sugar content in junk foods can interfere with the absorption of vital nutrients like calcium and magnesium, which are crucial for bone health,” Dt. Divya Gopal, Consultant – Dietician & Nutritionist, Motherhood Hospitals, Banashankari, Bengaluru, told IANS.

同样，“垃圾食品中的高糖含量会干扰钙和镁等重要营养素的吸收，而这些营养素对骨骼健康至关重要，”Dt。 Divya Gopal，班加罗尔 Banashankari 孕产医院顾问兼营养师兼营养师，告诉 IANS。

In addition, the excessive unhealthy fats found in junk foods can impede the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), leading to potential deficiencies, the expert said.

此外，专家表示，垃圾食品中含有过多的不健康脂肪，会阻碍脂溶性维生素（A、D、E 和 K）的吸收，导致潜在的维生素缺乏。

The deficiencies in vital micronutrients can lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, and impaired cognitive function.

重要微量营养素的缺乏会导致疲劳、免疫力下降和认知功能受损。

Moreover, the consumption of junk foods can disrupt the gut microbiota, which plays a critical role in nutrient absorption and overall health.

此外，垃圾食品的消费会破坏肠道微生物群，而肠道微生物群在营养吸收和整体健康中起着至关重要的作用。

“A diet dominated by processed and junk foods can lead to inflammation in the gut, further impairing the body's ability to absorb essential micronutrients,” Gopal said.

“以加工食品和垃圾食品为主的饮食会导致肠道炎症，进一步损害身体吸收必需微量营养素的能力，”戈帕尔说。

To maintain optimal health, it's crucial to reduce junk food intake and opt for a balanced diet, focussing on whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

为了保持最佳健康，减少垃圾食品摄入量并选择均衡饮食至关重要，重点关注水果、蔬菜、全谷物和瘦肉蛋白等营养丰富的天然食物。
