1. Why you should eat healthy

2. Manage stress
• Stress: We all have it, and how we handle it can make all the
difference. Stress management can be a powerful tool for wellness,
since too much stress is bad for you. There are many strategies, and
one of them includes what you eat. If you are eating the right, organic
foods, then your stress will be reduced without all of the processed
sugars and chemicals that you put in your body when you eat junk
food.

3. Boosts Energy
•
We've all experienced the energy drop that comes from eating foods high in sugar and saturated fats. When you eat a balanced
diet including whole grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and fruits and vegetables, your body has the fuel that it needs to
manage your energy level.
• Regular physical exercise also improves muscle strength and boosts endurance, giving you more energy, says the Mayo Clinic.
Exercise helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and gets your cardiovascular system working more efficiently so that
you have more energy to go about your daily activities. It also helps boost energy by promoting better sleep--helping you fall
asleep faster and deepening your sleep.
• Almonds are packed with Vitamin E and Magnesium which will give you energy.
Dark Chocolate has caffeine and the right sugars to give you energy without the crash
• Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
• Spicy herbs can increase metabolism.
• Greek yogurt has tons of protein.
• Popcorn is a good source of carbs.
• Leafy greens are full of iron that improves concentration levels.
Whole grains are a long-lasting energy source.
• Blueberries can enhance cognitive function.
• Eggs are protein-rich.

4. Controls Weight
• Eating right and exercising regularly can help you avoid excess weight gain and maintain a healthy
weight. You can obtain benefits of exercise by being active in simple ways throughout the day. For
example, walk instead of driving vehicle or take the stairs instead of the elevator. Eating healthier
will naturally motivate you to get out and do active things.
• Eating a low-fat diet can also help control weight. When you start the day with a healthy
breakfast, you help avoid hunger spasms that could send you running to the fast food before
lunch. You should focus on having a high fiber, high carb, and high protein breakfast so you are
not tempted to eat other meaningless snacks throughout the day after your breakfast. They say
you should have 5 fruits and veggies a day which are high in nutrients and low in calories to make
you feel satisfied longer.
• Eating healthy can make you feel fuller longer. This ensures that you are not eating excess
amounts of processed sugars and calories.

5. Improves Mood
• Doing right by your body pays off for your mind as well. Physical activity
stimulates brain chemicals that often leave you feeling both happier and
more relaxed. Eating a healthy diet as well as exercising can lead to a better
physique, so you may also feel better about your appearance, which can
boost your confidence and self-esteem. The short-term results of exercise
and eating healthy include decreased stress and ability to think better and
have a clear mind.
• Usually when you are eating processed sugar and unhealthy foods, it
is hard to focus and be happy. If you are just eating a bunch of empty
calories all day, it will make you in a bad mood because of how
unnatural the products you are eating are.

6. Digestion
• The digestion process is an intricately choreographed ballet during which
your body performs the many steps needed to break down the food you
eat and unlock the vitamins, minerals, calories, fats, and proteins you need
and then efficiently clean sweep the rest. Most people don’t contemplate
these inner workings unless they’re not working smoothly, but you can
proactively take steps to avoid problems. One of the easiest digestive
health tips is to fuel up with good foods for digestion. Put these superfoods
on your plate and discover how with a little ingenuity, staying “regular” can
even be delicious.
• You will probably notice more having a stomach ache or upset stomach
when you are eating sweets and processed foods vs. organic, natural foods.
It’s much harder for your body to digest these foods.

7. Combats Diseases
• Healthy habits can help prevent certain health conditions--such
as heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure--by boosting good
cholesterol and decreasing unhealthy triglycerides. This combination
keeps your blood flowing smoothly, decreasing your risk of
cardiovascular diseases. Regular physical activity and proper diet can
help you prevent or manage a wide range of other health problems,
including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, depression, certain types of
cancer, and arthritis.

8. Improves Longevity
• When you practice healthy habits, you boost your chances of a longer
life. The American Council on Exercise reported on an eight-year
study of 13,000 people. The study showed that those who walked just
30 minutes each day significantly reduced their chances of dying
prematurely, compared with those who exercised infrequently.
Looking forward to more time with loved ones is reason enough to
keep walking.

9. Healthy cholesterol
• Lowering your cholesterol through eating habits and exercise means
you can avoid the risk of side effects from medication entirely.
Indeed, the only side effects of TLC you'll encounter are more energy,
weight loss, and better overall health.

10. Clear skin
• Most experts say eating a balanced diet is the best way to get your
share of good food for healthy skin. Still, a number of specific skin
treats are more likely than others to give a boost of glowing good
health to your complexion.
• Low-Fat Dairy Products can help clear your skin. One the most
important components of skin health is vitamin A. One of the best
places to get it is low-fat dairy products. In fact, experts say that the
health of our skin cells is dependent on dietary vitamin A.

11. Better heart condition
• Heart disease may be the leading killer of men and women, but that
doesn’t mean you can’t protect yourself. In addition to exercise, being
careful about what you eat and what you choose not to eat can help
you lower cholesterol, control blood pressure and blood sugar levels,
and maintain a healthy weight. If you’ve already been diagnosed with
heart disease or have high cholesterol or blood pressure, a heart-smart
diet can help you better manage these conditions, lowering
your risk for heart attack.

12. Better metabolism
• Your metabolism is partly ruled by genetics, but you can rev it up
naturally by eating right.
• You should eat healthy, organic foods. More importantly you should
eat frequently, small, high-fiber, high-protein, meals to boost your
metabolism.
• The more hungry you are often, the faster your metabolism is.

13. Physical strength
• Muscular strength derives from several factors, including genetics,
physical activity and diet. While particular foods cannot create
muscle, they can provide the necessary nutrients to help overall
physical strength. Building muscle requires that a person consume 1.4
to 1.8 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight daily as part of a
balanced diet, inclusive of complex carbohydrates and healthy fats.
Muscle growth also requires an additional 200 calories daily.

14. Mental strength
Physical strength is one thing, but the majority of us are limited by our
minds. Mental toughness is having the natural or psychological edge
that enables you to cope with the many demands that you face during
sport, training, work or regular family life.
Eating healthy will make you focus more and improve your mental
strength whether it is in a life situation or at the gym or what ever it
may be.

15. Healthy hair
• By adding the correct foods and fats into your diet you can have a
healthier head of hair in less than a year.
• Hair is a great marker of overall health. Good hair depends on the
body’s ability to construct a proper hair shaft, as well as the health of
the skin and follicles. Good nutrition assures the best possible
environment for building strong, lustrous hair. But this is not a quick
fix. Changing your diet now will affect only new growth, not the part
of the hair that is already visible. On average, a person can expect to
have about 6 inches of new growth every year, so it will take about
that long to notice the effects of your nutritional changes.
• Even eating healthy foods will improve the shine of your hair.
