FOOD AND HEALTH: IMPACT OF EATING GOOD FOOD ON OUR HEALTH

Why do you eat?

To satisfy one’s needs

Or to sustain one’s life

I bet the latter will be the correct answer because food is an essential ingredient to survive.

Without it for many days could result in sickness and worse death

This shows how important food is

 

Food is an essential part of life and we shouldn’t just eat to satisfy our urges or wants

Eating well helps to reduce the risk of physical health problems like heart disease and diabetes. It also helps with sleeping patterns, energy level, and general health. You may have noticed that our mood often affects the type of food we choose, as well as how much we eat

Regularly eating fruits and vegetables also has strong associations with a lower risk of many lifestyle-related health conditions and overall mortality.

The nutrients they contain help promote a healthy complexion, nails, and hair and increase energy levels. They can also help maintain a healthy weight

 

Good food and eating well should not be compromised

Health Benefits Of Eating Good Food 

Food is like fuel. For cars, you have to be careful about the kind of fuel you put in there if you want your car to work smoothly and enjoy your ride.

Like a car, food is fuel for your body. Put the right thing in and you are going to get not only more of your body but more out of life 

 Here are a few examples of what food brings to the table: 

• Energy: when you eat nourishing foods, your body breaks this down into energy. That energy helps you do whatever you love, longer.

• Strength: whether you are playing football or working, you need to be strong. The right food helps you build muscle and makes you better at the sports/work you love.

• Attitude: do you remember the last time you were “hungry“? It puts us all in a bad mood. Fill your body with nourishing foods and you can keep this enemy at bay.

• Brainpower: when you have a healthy body, you help create a healthy mind. Doing things that need your brain all becomes easier.

• Health: when you get a lot of nourishment, you help your body fight off diseases by empowering the immune system. That means less time in the sickbed and more time having fun.

• Long life: who wouldn’t want to live longer?! Take care of your body and it will take care of you. In the end, you get to experience more of this fantastic life.

Like life, food is all about choices. You can’t be perfect, that is impossible. Once in a while, you might want to give in to urges and eat food that has no health benefits like candies, chocolates, biscuits, etc. 

Eating well is hard, but you can do it. Think about the goals you want to set for yourself when it comes to food. How much sugar is too much? Should you have another glass of water or a Coke? You need to own the decisions and understand the consequences. Keep in mind that good choices, like eating a healthy diet, happen one at a time. A few small changes in the right direction can help improve your life forever.
