1. ADDED ENERGY It shouldn’t come as a surprise that eating healthy foods filled with nutrients gives you energy. Often, starting to eat healthy can offer your body more energy than you’ve ever had before.
2. BETTER DIGESTION When you eat the right amount of fiber, cut back on greasy foods, and limit your sugar intake, your digestion improves significantly. You’ll likely experience less heart burn and gas after changing your diet.
3. HAPPIER MOOD When you eat right, you feel good. Good food can help your mood improve because you won’t feel all of the usual energy slumps during the day.
4. REDUCED RISK When you eat right, you automatically reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and some cancers. However, you should continue taking any prescribed medicine you’ve been given for these.
5. MENTAL HEALTH Healthy food provides stronger, faster brain functioning, and more mental energy to get through work or your busy day. Studies have shown that students who eat a complete breakfast before school are more focused in class.
6. LESS ILLNESS Eating the right vitamins and minerals in your food protects your body from frequent colds and common sicknesses. Fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C are particularly helpful at combatting sickness.
7. CLEAR SKIN Part of eating right is drinking enough water each day—a recommended 64 ounces. When you drink enough water, your skin naturally gets clearer and healthier with a natural glow.
8.HEALTHY TEETH Eating healthy gives your body the right amount of calcium it needs to make strong bones and teeth. You also should be eating less sugar and acids that would eat away at your enamel and cause cavities. If you don’t eat right, you may have to visit the dentist more frequently for cleanings and exams.
