Solution

Pizza may often be classified as junk food, but it doesn't have to be. The basic ingredients of pizza all have healthy potential. It's only when you go overboard on toppings or the amount you eat that pizza earns its bad rap.

The amount of fat in a slice of pizza depends on what toppings it has. ... Many frozen pizzas also contain trans fat, which is the most unhealthy kind. It raises your cholesterol levels, which can lead to heart damage. A slice of cheese pizza contains 17.9 grams of fat, of which 6.2 grams are saturated.

Over eating pizzas may raise your blood cholesterol levels and make you prone to heart diseases. The saturated fats in the main crust of pizzas may block your arteries and cause serious problems like myocardial infarction (heart attack).
There are two ways to eat pizza: The unhealthy way (with extra meat like pepperoni and sausage), or the healthy way loaded with veggies. ... But since pizza is still a source of saturated fat (about five grams) and chock-full of sodium, limit it to once a week and load up on those veggies.
