We eat
food every day to live, supplying our body with sufficient nutrients and energy
for daily activities. If we don’t eat enough or don’t have enough nutrients,
the body will weaken and become ill. The food that we eat can be both healthy
and unhealthy, but is it better to eat only healthy food? The following are
five good reasons why you should start eating healthy now.
What is healthy food?
Healthy
food is food that contains all five food groups including protein,
carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fats. These are the nutrients and sources
of energy that your body needs. Each food group has different benefits for your
body. For example, protein such as milk, eggs, beans etc. replenishes muscles
and promotes growth. Carbohydrates such as rice and starch give your body
energy. Minerals from plants and vegetables boost the immune system while
vitamins from fruits help with the excretory system. Fats from plants and
animals keep your body warm and give energy to it.
5 reasons why you should start
eating healthy
1. Good immune system. When your body has a good immune
system, you tend to be strong and not get ill easily. You are ready for daily
challenges.
2. Disease prevention.
When you eat food that is good for your body in an appropriate portion size, you
tend to be at lower risk of diseases such as coronary artery disease, cancer,
diabetes etc.
3. Better
digestive system. Eaten
food is digested to give your body nutrients. For instance, eating high-fiber
fruits helps improve the functioning of the digestive system and prevent
constipation.
4. Anti-aging and protection
against free radicals.
Vegetables and fruits are packed with nutrients as well as antioxidants that
can slow down the aging process.
5. Healing properties. Both cooked and raw vegetables,
particularly herbs, have healing properties such as gotu kola, pepper, garlic,
ginger etc.
These are
the five reasons why you should start eating healthy today. For those with
digestive, skin, and other health-related problems, it’s not too late to try switching
to a healthy diet or food that contains all five food groups for better health.
