Benefits of Healthy Eating

by Maria C. of PJMS

Healthy eating will not only make you healthy and stronger, it will impact your life in a positive way. Healthy eating can help you stay in a good mood since it helps clear your thoughts and handles your stress. It can give your skin a glowing appearance, reduces wrinkles, and keeps your skin and eyes healthy since you are staying hydrated and getting the nutrients you need. It helps you prevent obesity, and Lindsay Boyer, who wrote the article “The Advantages of Eating Healthy Food”, said that healthy eating could maintain a healthy body weight. It can also help you lose weight.

The Natural Health Guide states that healthy eating can help with many disorders such as depression, dyslexia, and schizophrenia. Healthy eating helps your mind be stronger and it helps you concentrate when doing work. It gives you a more positive outlook on life and it makes you feel more confident in yourself. It improves your sleeping patterns so you can get just enough sleep to have lots of energy the next day.

According to Ellie Kuykendall, who wrote the article “Benefits of Healthy Eating”, healthy eating will also help prevent and control many different diseases such as diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, any type of heart disease, or any other health problem. It helps you body function better and stay healthy. It helps regulate sugar as well (This can help with diabetes). Vitamins such as Vitamin C help you heal cuts and bruises (This can help prevents any infections).

Healthy eating will make others want to eat healthy as well. Alissa Fleck, who wrote the article “How Does Healthy Eating Affect Your Life”, says it will inspire the people around you to take the same steps to be healthy. It will help people live a longer happier life.
