WHY EVERYBODY NEEDS TO EAT HEALTHY

In our society today, everybody feels the need to be productive and compete with
the rest of the world by being quick and efficient. We feel compelled to use each
hour in a way that will benefit us that it often affects our eating habits. Because fast
foods and junk foods are available anywhere we go and don’t require long minutes
of waiting and preparation, we find it difficult to exclude it from our diet. Fast foods
are also often cheaper than many of the healthier foods.

So, why bother to eat healthy and add all the troubles of developing a healthy
habit into our lives? Today, I will give you three reasons to start eating healthier.

I. Eating healthy helps us fight and prevent diseases.

The University of Rochester Medical Center explained how eating the right
kinds of foods in the right way could help us prevent many types of diseases. For
one, controlling our intake of carbohydrates, especially in the form of sugar, could
significantly cut our chances of developing diabetes type 2. Also, by choosing to
consume good fats instead of bad fats, we reduce our risk for heart diseases and
stroke.

The American Institute for Cancer Research also says that a combination of
vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables can offer good
protection from many types of cancer. We can also help our bodies prevent the
development of osteoporosis by eating calcium-rich foods and Vitamin-D fortified
foods such as skim milk, yogurt and broccoli. These are just a few examples of how
our eating habits directly affect our chances for developing diseases.

II. Eating healthy lengthens our lives.

With a great and healthy body, free from diseases, our lives can be lengthened
too. Dr. Robert Schreiber of Harvard Medical School noted that although there are
some people who live a long life of unhealthy choices, there are countless others who
die prematurely as a result of them.

The World Health Organization also named the Ischaemic heart disease, stroke,
lower respiratory infections and chronic obstructive lung disease as the top major
killers during the past decade. Diabetes and hypertension had also been included in
the ten leading causes of death in the world from 2000 to 2012. These diseases,
murderous as they are can actually be controlled by eating right, combined with
proper exercise.

III.Eating healthy improves our overall performance.

When we eat right, we give our body the energy it needs to perform well.
According to Harvard Health Publications, healthful eating helps us keeping the
energy level high. Eating a balanced diet including unrefined carbohydrates,
proteins, and fats, we get the calories we need to boost energy while also supplying
proper nutrients to keep our metabolism going.

The opposite is true for eating refined carbs and fast foods. Energy bars and
junk foods only give us a quick boost, and very little or no vitamins and minerals. It
makes us feel depleted and craving for more.

Getting the energy we need daily from healthy sources helps us maximize the
benefits we get from food. Eating right will also help us avoid all those extra calories
we don’t need, eliminating layers of stored fat. When we regulate our weight, we feel
lighter and more energetic. Thus, when we eat right, we possess the kind of energy
that is pure and long-lasting. By preventing diseases, eating healthy also helps us
live our lives longer. Soon, we’ll realize how good food improves our mood and
healthy eating habits make us more efficient and generally happier with our lives.
